About this tour
A 1.5-hour vermouth tasting and crafting session in Barcelona where you'll learn about Spanish vermouth culture from an expert, taste four different styles, and make your own 250ml bottle to take home. You'll gain hands-on knowledge of how vermouth is constructed — flavour profiles, botanicals, and blending — rather than just sampling finished products.
Highlights
- Taste four different vermouths with olives included
- Blend and bottle your own personalised vermouth to take home
- Learn vermouth-making secrets from an expert vermouthologist
- Discover the history and contemporary practice of Spanish vermouth
- 250ml custom bottle included in the experience
- Hands-on practice-based learning, not passive tasting
What to expect
You'll meet your guide and dive straight into tasting four different vermouths, developing your palate for the range of styles available. As you taste, you'll learn about the botanicals, fortification, and regional variations that shape each one. The core of the session is the crafting component: you'll work with your guide to blend your own vermouth, experimenting with flavour combinations before bottling your creation to take away.
Olives are provided throughout. The whole session runs 90 minutes, with the balance split between tasting education and hands-on blending. By the end, you'll have both learned the fundamentals and have a tangible product — your bottle — to show what you've made.
