    You'll begin your tapas and wine tour at one of Barcelona's trendiest bars, run by a passionate young team dedicated to blending the classic with the contemporary in unique and delicious ways. Enjoy a glass of Catalan cava and learn all about Spain's most famous sparkling wine as you taste a selection of light bites as an aperitif.

    Next, it's off to a cozy tapas bar that specializes in blending Catalan and Latin American cuisine. Here you’ll indulge in a glass of white wine and a vermouth straight from the tap—and learn why this refreshing, fortified wine is coming back into vogue. You’ll also try a range of classic Barcelona tapas and home-cooked delicacies that pay homage to the owner's native Argentina—as well as her love for her adopted home of Catalonia.

    Finally, enjoy a dinner of shared plates at a restaurant so popular among locals that it's fully booked most nights—but not to worry; your table is already guaranteed. The family-run spot serves a mouthwatering array of Catalan tapas, and we've picked the perfect Catalan red to complement each dish. Your meal with one last glass of wine, a digestif from the region.
