In central Madrid, an intimate evening tasting distills Spain’s wine styles into a single social ritual: between two and six Spanish wines—white, rosé and red—are poured and explained by a professional sommelier, each glass matched with a tapa so groups can taste, compare and learn before a night on the town.

THE TASTES

A practical tour of Spanish styles

Choose from packages that span 2–6 wines; standard options present whites, rosés and reds in measured progression so you taste regional variety and contrast, with one tapa paired to each glass.

THE SOMMELIER

Guided, conversational learning

A professional sommelier leads the session, explaining color, aroma and flavor of each wine while keeping the mood convivial—an accessible way to learn tasting basics as a group.

THE STARTER

Perfect for kicking off a Madrid evening

Designed as an evening activity, the tasting functions as a social warm-up—easy to combine with other Madride Travel offerings and ideal for groups looking to begin their night with food, wine and conversation.

What the day feels like

What the tasting feels like

The rhythm is deliberate and social: a group meets in central Madrid at night, a sommelier introduces the first wine, and each pour is paired with a tapa while the guide describes what to look for—color, nose, palate—and encourages comparisons. Depending on the package chosen, you move through four to six focused tastings in roughly two to three hours, finishing with an easy camaraderie that sets up the rest of an evening in the city.
