Full description
On our Bodega tour in Barcelona, we will start by visiting the local market to spot a few delights that, paired with as many different drinks, will be tasted at the most emblematic wine establishments that dots Sant Antoni area and its surroundings.
We will drop by some holes-in-the-wall in the historic and multicultural Raval district, to try wines from the barrels and mingle with regulars, and from there we’ll make our way to some more upscale bodegas, where tradition is tweaked with a modern touch. Along with sips of hard-to-find wines from all over Spain we’ll also sample some fine Catalan wines together with some typical specialties and tapas on the side and, naturally, we will experience “vermouth hour,” the essence of Barcelona's aperitif time.
There is enough food to call this tour a long, well-lubricated meal and enough drinks to consider it an extended happy hour, but most importantly, it is a full immersion into the unique bodegas culture and the barrios that keep it alive.
