WINTER, WINE AND TAPAS IN MADRID This month we propose a combination of wine, urban and countryside flavour. Among the cities we have chosen Madrid, the capital right in the center of Spain, a true Spanish/cosmopolitan city, a city welcoming to everybody and a city we love and where we have a wonderful gourmet offer. Our wineries and hotels are of course in the countryside, inviting you to visit the other Spain, the real one, the one you can only see when you get rural, away from touristy palces, and wine is the perfect excuse.
We propose different wine and
food related activities for your time in Madrid:
to make the most of Madrid or just escape
it for a day. And as an special offer our wine and tapas tours, that we are offering now every Wednesday evening.
This
time we recommend wineries close to cities, like Alella and Saavedra very close to Barcelona and Madrid respectively. And hotels in the countryside charming Can LLobet in Capmany in Emporda and Ciudad de Haro in the center of Rioja.
Do
not forget to have a look to our agenda,
with all our tours and a lot of activities
to enjoy wine and gastronomy in Spain.

SPECIAL: WINE AND TAPAS TOUR IN MADRID
SPECIAL OFFER 10 euros discount
EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 20.00H - 60 EUROS PER PERSON (normally 70 euros).
Also available upon request
There are two “Madrids”: the one you can’t help but see, and the one you need a local person to show you. We’d like to invite you to enjoy the experience of “ir de tapas”, as madrileños do. You will discover hidden spots, even in the very heart of Madrid, each of which has something special to offer, be it a typical dish, a specific type of wine or its atmosphere. Get into the swing of things: go to a bar, enjoy your wine and your free tapa, order something extra to eat if it catches your fancy and, once you’ve finished, move on to the next venue. It´s as simple as that! See more
