About this tour
A 4-hour wine tasting for anyone from casual drinker to enthusiast, centred on Alicante's wine regions and Spanish production. You'll taste four local wines paired with regional specialities—cured cheese, pickled bonito, local bread, and olive oil—while learning directly from wine experts about what makes Spanish wine worth your attention. Laid-back but substantive, it's designed to deepen your appreciation rather than overwhelm.

What to expect
You'll meet your group (minimum two participants) and spend the session tasting wines selected to represent Alicante's key producing areas. A wine expert guides you through each pour, explaining the region, production methods, and what's in the glass. Between tastings, you'll sample local specialities: cured cheese, pickled bonito (garrofeta alicantina), fresh bread with local olive oil, and toña alicantina—a regional bread served with chocolate. The format is relaxed; there's time for questions and conversation rather than a rigid lecture. By the end, you'll have moved through four wines and understood the landscape of Spanish wine beyond generic assumptions.
