Tenute Rubino wine nightThis week

R14 22/05/2025 6pm

R14 invites you to wine night!

On the afternoon of May 22nd, Gabriele Savino, a representative of the Tenute Rubino winery, will be visiting restaurant R14 to present a curated selection of wines from the Tenute Rubino estate in the Puglia region.

Tenute Rubino is a family-owned winery located in the Salento region of Southern Italy. It was founded in the 1980s by Tommaso Rubino and is now run by his son Luigi. The estate covers 290 hectares of vineyards, where primarily local grape varieties such as Primitivo and Negroamaro are cultivated. Thanks to the cooling Mediterranean breezes, the grapes grow in a balanced way even in the hot climate. At the modern winery, Luigi Rubino produces elegant wines that emphasize the natural quality of the grapes and respect for local heritage.

To accompany the wine tasting, we recommend a special dish prepared by our head chef Helen Andema: Sardines with stracciatella, semi-dried tomatoes, and capers – €15.

Entry is free, and you can reserve a table here (please include the keyword Tenute Rubino in the booking system) or by phone at +372 5855 8120.

See you at the restaurant!

SAILING FORWARD. How the 1980 Olympic Regatta Shaped Tallinn

This summer marks the 45th anniversary of Tallinn Olympic Regatta. The ambition to host a major sailing competition became a reality in the 1970s when Tallinn was selected as a co-host of the Olympic Games, initiating preparations for the regatta. In addition to sailing, the event was accompanied by large-scale urban planning and development, making the decade particularly significant in the history of local architecture. The Olympic urban plans aimed to modernise the city rapidly.

Tallinn changed considerably in preparation for the Olympic Regatta. The plan included repairing the architectural scars left by the destruction of World War II and filling vacant spaces with new buildings. Parts of Tallinn’s coastline were freed from industrial use, engineering systems were renewed and several parts of the capital were given a refreshed appearance. In addition to urban planning, attention was also paid to design – evident in the city, everyday items and poster art alike.

Several well-known buildings were completed for the regatta, including the Olympic Yachting Centre, TV Tower, Hotel Olümpia and the new airport terminal. Along with the Olympic sites, new residential buildings, offices, healthcare facilities and cultural venues were constructed – designed by Estonian architects, interior architects and engineers. Despite the conditions of Soviet occupation, local initiatives – led by Estonians – sought to improve the living environment in the momentum of the regatta. The summer of 1980 felt to many like a fleeting moment of freedom, but the Iron Curtain would remain closed for many more years.

In all, more than 120 architectural projects were planned as part of the Olympic urbanism. Some were completed, others were built later, while some remained merely ideas. The exhibition presents this ambitious phase in Tallinn’s development.

The exhibition is open at the Estonian Museum of Architecture and in the courtyard of the Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design from 30 April to 28 September 2025.
