What to expect
You'll meet your guide and begin a walking route through Santiago's older quarters, moving between 3–4 local bars over the next few hours. At each stop, you'll order and taste a selection of tapas (cured meats, cheeses, seafood, regional specialities) alongside Galician wines chosen to complement them. The guide will explain the food, wine pairings, and the bar's local significance.
Pacing is relaxed—you'll spend 30–45 minutes at each spot, giving you time to eat, chat and soak in the atmosphere. By the end of the tour, you'll have grazed across several small plates and tried a range of local wines. The tour wraps when you've worked through the final bar stop.

Good to know
Best for anyone genuinely interested in food and wine rather than a quick drink. You'll walk between bars on city streets, so comfortable shoes help; the tour is accessible for wheelchair users and parents with prams, but check with the operator if you're using mobility aids to confirm specific bar access. The tour is unhurried and suits all fitness levels—it's about tasting, not trekking. Expect a small group atmosphere. Food and wine are included; if you want a soft drink or coffee instead of wine at any stop, clarify beforehand. Peak times are evening hours; booking off-peak may mean a quieter experience.
