What To Expect

Discover Barcelona's wine scene on this exclusive private tasting experience, designed for curious travellers who want more than the usual tourist trail.

Your journey opens in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, with a stop at a historic neighbourhood bakery — in business for over 170 years — where you'll taste a traditional Catalan pastry. As you walk through Barcelona's ancient Roman district, your expert guide uncovers hidden gems and brings the city's little-known history to life.

The centrepiece is a guided wine tasting inside a stunning medieval wine bar nestled in a centuries-old building. Your dedicated sommelier introduces four outstanding Spanish and Catalan wines, paired with premium artisan cheeses and homemade chocolates. You'll explore the distinct terroirs that shape each bottle, sharpen your tasting skills, and come away with genuine insight into what sets these wines apart.

Fully private from start to finish — no shared groups, no rushing. The experience moves at your pace and can be shaped around your interests. Ideal for wine lovers after a truly local, expert-led introduction to Barcelona's wine culture.
