TAPAS AND WINE TOURS

Check also our wine pairing meals

Tapas is a very Spanish tradition. As you probably know tapas are small dishes that people have instead of a more formal meal. Usually we have different tapas and wines in different bars, Spanish people love bar hoping.

Tapas and wine tours are a perfect alternative o complement to a wine tour, they are a fun way to enjoy Spanish gastronomy and good wine, they can be organized in almost any city and they have a limited duration in case you don't have enough time to do a winery tour. We organize tapas tours for groups of different sizes, from two people to more than a hundred persons (we have done, it's no joke and it is great). Tapas tours can also incorporate a cultural aspect to get to know the town a little bit better, its history, monuments, etc. We also design tapas tours and wine tours where you will have the opportunity to taste different wines in every bar, having like a mini-tour of Spanish wines in just few hours.

Our tapas tours are perfect for corporate activities, complement of incentive trips or business meetings. We design them so the group will have a very good time with a lot of interaction.

We offer tapas and wine tours in the main Spanish cities, in fact this is one of our specialties. We often try to include some cultural sites in our tapas tours, or make a thematic tapas tours. The best places are Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, San Sebastian, Logroño, Burgos, Valladolid, Haro, almost any Spanish town will be good.

In Madrid we have specialty literary tapas tours, Hemingway tapas tour, the Civil War tapas tour, etc

WINE PAIRING MEALS

Instead of a typical tapas you can do an informal wine pairing meal with small dishes and lots of different wines. This will give you more opportunities to try wine and food pairing and you can include a wine tasting as well.

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, that can be set up as a mini wine tasting course for beginners or a professional wine tasting for connoisseurs, or a fun tasting to have a good time.

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. We can arrange wine tasting or wine pairing meals in different Spanish cities or even in the countryside. 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.
