About this tour
Walk through Madrid's oldest quarter whilst sampling regional Spanish wines and traditional tapas across three neighbourhood taverns. This 3-hour outing pairs stories of the city's medieval past with tastings of Rioja, Ribera, and Rías Baixas varieties, guided by a local who knows both the wine list and the streets. You'll taste your way through La Latina, learning how these wines developed alongside the city itself.
Highlights
- Three tavern stops in La Latina's winding medieval laneways
- Rioja, Ribera reds, and Rías Baixas whites side-by-side
- Tapas lunch paired with wine commentary from knowledgeable guide
- Stories of Madrid's history woven through the walk
- Local atmosphere, not tourist theatre
What to expect
Your guide meets you and heads straight into La Latina's narrow streets. Expect three separate stops at proper neighbourhood taverns, not polished wine bars. At each, you'll taste a different wine style—reds from inland regions, crisp whites from Galicia—with small plates designed to complement them. Between pours, your guide shares details about how Madrid developed around these quarters. The pace is leisurely; you're walking perhaps 10–15 minutes between stops. Lunch happens organically across the three taverns rather than at a single table.
