Cocktail Time

Discover the wild herbs and spirits of Costa Brava with Cocktail Time’s immersive outdoor tasting tour. Join Gerard Ruiz and Hanna for a flavorful journey through Cap de Creus’s rugged landscapes and local traditions.

Nestled along the rugged coastline of Costa Brava, the Cap de Creus region offers more than just stunning sea views—it's a hub for immersive, cultural outdoor experiences. Cocktail Time, led by founder Gerard Ruiz and Hanna from Boireta Private Tours, transforms a visit into a spirited journey through the area's natural herbs and local spirits. Participants embark on a walking tasting adventure that navigates the wild, windswept landscapes of Cap de Creus, famed for its dramatic rock formations and native flora.

Here, aromatic wild herbs flourish among rugged cliffs and hidden coves, their scents infused into handcrafted cocktails. As you wander these untouched landscapes, Gerard and Hanna share stories behind Noray gin’s origin—distilled from local botanicals—and explain how the region’s wilderness has inspired generations. This isn’t your average tour; it’s a lively blend of outdoor exploration, culinary education, and cultural storytelling, making it a standout activity in Costa Brava.

The experience shines brightest at sunset, when the landscape glows with warm hues, and your palate is elevated by authentic ingredients sourced directly from the local terrain. Small-group, personalized, and deeply rooted in the area's heritage, Cocktail Time offers a unique chance to connect with Costa Brava’s natural and cultural soul. It’s perfect for adventure-seekers who appreciate a good story paired with regional flavors and a bit of coastal mystique.
