Taste five Spanish wines with five tapas courses in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, guided by a sommelier at an intimate Vivinos dinner.
“We had such a lovely time at this wine tasting. I have been on many wine tasting excursions and this one was wonderful. Vivienne (sp?) was lovely, extraordinarily knowledgeable about wine, and yet presented everything in an accessible way. I had a lot of questions, and she answered them all with a smile! The wine's were lovely (Spanish wines always are!) and there was an appropriate variety of white, red, and cava. And then there was the cheese! And the event was in an appropriately tasteful--even elegant--venue. There was much to enjoy. Thanks!”

“Werden bij aankomst naar een andere locatie gestuurd, waar we dan toch niet moesten zijn. Moesten 15min voor start ter plaatse zijn, maar de gids kwam zelf maar net op tijd. Zeker niet geschikt voor rolstoelgebruikers. Mensen in onze groep met rolstoel hadden hoop miserie om vooruit te geraken. Wijn is middelmatig. Kazen zijn lekker.”
