GOURMET WINE EXPERIENCES: Wine Tasting and Wine paring meals

When you cannot take a wine tour and visit wineries we can bring the gourmet wine experience to you. We can organize a wine tasting or a wine and food pairing meal wherever you want. These are a fun way to enjoy Spanish wines and gastronomy. Commented Wine Tasting or Wine Tasting Courses can be adjusted to the level of wine knowledge of your group. We can make them more or less technical and more or less formal. It can be a professional wine tasting or just a fun initiation to wine. We can focus on a specific area or give an overview of Spanish wines.

Wine and food pairing meals are called maridaje in Spanish (from latin maritate – to join). You will learn to combine food a wine in the best possible way. Food and wine pairing is about combining food and wine so all the flavors are clearly improved. Wine has to enhance the flavor of the food and vice versa. To do this, you have to taste, smell, drink and eat. We will go a little bit further than the typical rule of pairing whites with fish and reds with meat. You’ll be nicely surprised! Wine pairing dinners include the commented tasting of the wines used.

This activities can be organized anywhere, we can find the best venue for your group, or if you prefer we can go to your hotel or the restaurant of your choice. Selected venues include most interesting places like bodegas, Wine Museums in Rioja, Castles, hotels, and exclusive clubs. They can be organized as a formal event or as a more informal, fun and interactive event. There is no maximum or minimum group size. We always have professional instructors, like enologists, sommeliers, vinoteca owners, winemakers, etc.

Our wine tasting and wine and pairing meals are perfect for corporate events, incentive travel, team building or a complement to a business meeting; they will provide a lot of fun and interaction for. It can also be combined with other activities in the vineyard or the winery.
