Spend two hours at family-run Bodegas Monje in El Sauzal, learning how volcanic soil shapes Canary wine before tasting four local wines with four artisan cheeses. English and Spanish tours are available, with English departures at 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM on weekends.
“Very interesting Tour, the host was great, and the wine and cheese were delicious.”
Visit family-run Bodegas Monje in El Sauzal for a 90-minute English-language tour and tasting. Learn about the cellar and winemaking, then pair four wines with cheeses from Tenerife, La Palma, Fuerteventura, and Gran Canaria. The small group has a maximum of 10 people.
“We are avid wine drinkers (and wine snobs) and have been to quite a few wineries around the world. Even with our experience, we both enjoyed the wine tour & seeing some of the unique processes that Monje Winery uses in their wine making. The wine was nicely paired with cheese to sample after the tour & we took home a few bottles we enjoyed for later in our vacation.”
Visit Bodega Pirineos near Barbastro with an English-speaking wine guide, see the grape intake area, old cellar, barrel room, bottle racks, and bottling line, then taste four wines with Aragón cheese and sausage. Jorge and Álvaro are among the friendly staff noted by name.
“La visita y la cata estuvieron genial, la atención y el trato de Jorge y Álvaro excelente. Recomendable 100%”
Meet at Galicia Travels in central Santiago for a 90-minute tasting of three Galician wines paired with local cheeses. Hosts such as Eunize explain the products and dining customs in English. The small setting may offer five or six cheeses, not just the advertised three.
“Great tasting of 3 local wines and 5 (although we only expected 3) local cheeses. It was held in the back room of a cheese shop and had a lovely intimate atmosphere. Our host was knowledgeable, informative and friendly. We loved it!”
Meet at Things to Do Córdoba at 6 p.m. for a 90-minute tasting led by hosts such as Bárbara, Mara, Gloria, Adrian, or José. You will sample four local wines, possibly five, including sherry, learn the art of venencia, and pair the drinks with four Córdoba cheeses. The setting is usually indoors, not an open-air sunset view.
“Fun, small group experience. Settling is indoors in a lovely setting. No sunset in view but the host, Gloria, was a ray of sunshine 🌞 She is very well versed in the world of Spanish wines, cheese and olive oils!! We returned the next day for an in-depth olive oil tasting which was an equally enjoyable experience!”
Meet near Santiago’s old town for a one-hour tasting led in English or Spanish. Try three Galician wines with three cheeses, learn how each is made, and enjoy a relaxed setting that may run longer when the group is small. Host Eunize is among the local guides.
“We had a great time learning about Galician cheese and wine. 🤗”
Meet a sommelier at Calle Carlos Rubio 11 for four Córdoba wines, a vermouth poured from the barrel, and four artisan cheeses. Learn how Pedro Ximénez becomes fino, oloroso, amontillado, and sweet PX, then try the traditional venencia serving method.
Meet your host near Plaza Mayor for a two-hour tasting of four Spanish cheeses with protected designations of origin and four regional wines. Hosts such as Toni, Anthony, and Yirelis have led sessions in several languages, explaining pairings, regions, and Spanish food culture in a friendly setting.
“Yirelis was a fantastic guide through our wine and cheese tasting!”
Meet at 6 pm in central Madrid for a 70-minute tasting of Mahón, Manchego, Murcia in wine, and San Simón da Costa cheeses with Spanish wines. Guides such as Carlos, Jesús, and Marcos explain regional flavors, pairings, jamón ibérico, and Spanish food culture.
“This was a delightful experience! Jesus was welcoming and a lot of fun. He’s very knowledgeable about wines & cheeses and his enthusiasm is contagious! We really enjoyed the wines & cheeses and the jamón ibérico too! The location is very easy to find and the facility was wonderful—very modern with a beautiful view.”
Spend seven hours with a small group of up to 15 people visiting a family cheese factory and Vera de Estenas Winery. Make goat cheese, tour natural cheese caves, taste eight cheeses with unlimited white wine, then sample three local wines with sausages.
“Guides were super friendly and tell a lot of fascinating facts about how wine was being produced. Definitely will recommend it to my friends”
