Gourmet Experience: Tasting of Spanish Cheese and Exclusive Wines

About this tour

Spend 70 minutes sampling Spanish cheeses from across the country, each paired with a complementary wine. A trained oenologist guides you through the tasting, explaining how regional production methods shape flavour and which wines bring out the best in each cheese. You'll taste varieties like creamy Manchego and smoky San Simón da Costa, learning pairing principles you can apply at home.

• Wine pairings chosen to enhance each cheese's character

What to expect

You'll work through a curated selection of cheeses, tasting each one before its paired wine arrives. The guide walks you through production techniques—the ageing, the milk sources, the smoke treatments—so you understand why a cheese tastes the way it does. Between tastings, you'll hear how the wine interacts with the cheese on your palate: which notes emerge, which fade. It's a practical masterclass rather than a lecture. By the end, you'll have picked up enough to make confident choices when browsing a cheesemonger or wine shop.
