What to expect
You'll arrive at the venue near Sagrada Familia and be greeted by a Ham Master who'll introduce the four hams you're about to taste. Expect a structured tasting: each ham is presented with background on its production method and quality tier, then paired with a wine, cava, or beer of your choice. You'll work through the lineup with breadsticks to cleanse your palate between samples, and the guide will answer questions about flavour profiles and how feed and ageing affect the final product. The session wraps after roughly an hour, leaving you free to explore the neighbourhood.

Good to know
This works best for food enthusiasts, wine drinkers, and anyone curious about Spanish cured meat production — no prior knowledge required. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible. Note that it's not recommended for pregnant travellers. The experience includes only the hams, drinks, and breadsticks; any additional food, drinks, or tips are extra. Groups are likely small given the intimate guided format. Peak times in Barcelona run spring through autumn, so book ahead if you're visiting then.
