Discover Catalan cuisine and wines at the most essential tapas bars in the Born.
You'll begin your tapas and wine tour at one of Barcelona's trendiest bars, run by a passionate young team dedicated to blending the classic with the contemporary in unique and delicious ways. Enjoy a glass of Catalan cava and learn all about Spain's most famous sparkling wine as you taste a selection of light bites as an aperitif.
Next, it's off to a cozy tapas bar that specializes in blending Catalan and Latin American cuisine. Here you’ll indulge in a glass of white wine and a vermouth straight from the tap—and learn why this refreshing, fortified wine is coming back into vogue. You’ll also try a range of classic Barcelona tapas and home-cooked delicacies that pay homage to the owner's native Argentina—as well as her love for her adopted home of Catalonia.
