Food and Wine Tours of Madrid

Tour Update and Notice

As Alun has mentioned early in my introduction, we hope in the near future to offer guided tours of some of Madrid’s culinary treasures. Highlighting both well-known monuments to food and more importantly, those little known treasures - we hope to offer a unique perspective on the food scene in Madrid. To start with, we will be offering 2 formats for you to choose from based on your specific interests:

A Cook's Tour
For anyone who likes to buy treats to bring back home, or for those of you who might have a kitchen in the room you are staying in, this is the tour for you. We will take you to 4 different shops in Madrid, where you will have the chance to buy some of the finest food and wine Spain has to offer.

First, a wine shop where we will get a chance to taste some wine while learning a little about where it comes from and how it is made. Second, ever think that Manchego was all Spain had to offer as far as cheese? Well, we’ll prove that theory wrong as we walk up the street to a cathedral of all things cheese. Walls lined with every type of fermented milk you can imagine.  Following this, we will move on to a chocolate shop whose reliquary holds some of the finest chocolates available to mortals! To round it all off, how about a stop at a Market where you can have the chance to buy fresh ham, ripe vegetables, myriad fish, not to mention much more.  All in all, this 3 hour tour will show you some of the finer gourmet treats Madrid has to offer.
Cost: TBA

Tapas, Wine and Fun
Come stroll with us down Madrid’s streets stopping in at a select few bars to try a variety of the typical flavors of Spain. During each stop you will have a choice of wines all of which come accompanied by tapas.  During this time you will learn something of the history of tapas; have a chance to gather some recipes; and also learn something about the wine regions that abound in Spain.
