Animante de Rondeña
A Private Members’ Club at Casa Rondeña
Moroccan Bar
Carved arches, jewel-tone tile, and brass lanterns set the mood. The Moroccan Bar is a low-lit retreat for late-evening conversation and a measured pour.
Tea Room/Library
Beneath vaulted wood beams and chandeliers, the Grand Event Space is where Animante gathers for its largest occasions — long banquet tables, candlelight, and music that fills the room.
Billiards Room
Tufted leather, dark wood paneling and a felt-topped table — a classic gentlemen’s room reimagined for members and their guests.
Philosopher's Courtyard
An open-air sanctuary with a stone fountain and climbing vines. Perfect for an unhurried afternoon glass, or an evening lit only by lanterns.
For Our Members
Member Programming
Friday Jazz Nights
Live jazz — and other genres — returns to Animante every Friday evening. Animante members
enjoy complimentary entry as a standing benefit of membership. Reservations are encouraged.
Most Fridays, 5:00–9:00 PM.
Book Club
An eclectic circle of members from varied walks of life gathers to explore the great works of world
literature, paired with a thoughtful selection of Casa Rondeña wines. Conversation ranges as widely
as the reading list itself, and the evening unfolds with the unhurried pace the cellar invites.
The Animante Symposiums
A recurring series of evening symposiums hosted in the Grand Event Space and Tea Library,
drawing members into substantive conversation on subjects worth a long evening. Past and
upcoming topics include the Constitution, the writings of St. Paul, and the philosophical and cultural
implications of artificial intelligence. Each symposium pairs a guided discussion with selected pours
from the estate.
