What to expect
You'll arrive in A Coruña's Old City for a structured tasting session. Staff will introduce each of the three Galician wines in turn, explaining where it comes from, how it's made and what to look for in the glass. Alongside the wines, you'll taste through a sequence of regional foods: a selection of Galician cheeses with notes on their distinctive qualities, a serving of empanada (the region's iconic pastry), and octopus prepared in the local manner.
The whole experience runs 90 minutes, paced so you can absorb the details without rushing. The session focuses on education and tasting rather than a formal sit-down meal — think structured sampling in a convivial setting.
