Barcelona Small Group Wine & Tapas Tour with a Sommelier
Description
Barcelona is a wine and tapas city, but the tourist core does justice to neither. This small group tour fixes that. A certified sommelier walks you through Sant Antoni, a genuine local neighbourhood the tour buses skip, pairing four artisan Spanish wines with seven creative tapas, 11 tastings in all, across three unhurried, seated stops at family run restaurants. You taste your way from a cava to a bold Rioja red, and learn exactly why each pairing works. Because the sommelier chooses around the season and what is best that week, no two tours are quite the same. You will leave with a personal list of bars and restaurants for the rest of your trip, and lunch or dinner already taken care of.

What a beautiful experience in an incredible city. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and was so kind and polite. She was super friendly, relatable, and by the end, felt like another friend in the group. I cannot recommend this experience enough.
Javier is knowledgeable, articulate and had a great sense of humor. You can always judge a person by how they are greeted by people and everywhere we went people genuinely loved seeing him. Wines were exciting to try also. Highly recommend him. !!!!
Thank you for this Corina, it genuinely made my day. Trying wines with people who are as curious as you guys were, is my favorite part of doing this, so I'm happy the tastings were fun. And you're kind to mention the welcomes we got around the restaurants. I've been lucky to build those friendships over the years. Come back whenever you're in Barcelona. There are always more bottles worth opening. Cheers.
It was such an enjoyable experience we had with our sommelier Kaylee. She was so sweet and very knowledgeable about our wine and food pairing and history of Barcelona and vineyard in the area. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has a love for food and wine. Thank you so much for an amazing evening.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your evening with Kailie and appreciated her knowledge of wine, food pairings, and Barcelona’s local history. Creating relaxed, meaningful experiences around great food and wine is exactly what we hope to offer. Thank you for recommending us, we hope to welcome you back to Barcelona one day!
Guide was fabulous. It wound up being only 4 of us and the places she chose were outstanding. The food and wince choices were top notch and was definitely the best tour we took in Barcelona. I would recommend doing this tour the first night or 2 in Barcelona as we would have wanted to go back to some of the restaurants for dinner. Only feedback I have is to change the meeting point directions to 1 Rda de Sant Paul vice 11. Once I GPS “Stay Together Barcelona Apartments”, I had no trouble finding her.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We’re truly happy to hear this was your favorite tour in Barcelona and that you enjoyed both the food and wine selections so much! I’ll also make sure your kind words are passed along to your guide, she’ll be delighted to hear them. We also really appreciate the helpful feedback regarding the meeting point. The Viator app occasionally redirects guests incorrectly through its native maps integration, which is why we always recommend using Google Maps directly and checking the exact address shown on the voucher itself. Thankfully, once you searched “Stay Together Barcelona Apartments,” it sounds like everything became much easier to find. We loved hosting you and truly appreciate the recommendation to future travelers. Hopefully we’ll welcome you back again on your next visit to Barcelona.
Wonderful evening sampling and learning about local wines and food at hidden tapas bars in Barcelona that are off the beaten path. Javier is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. A must next time you visit.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it truly means a lot! I’m really glad you enjoyed discovering some of the more hidden spots around Barcelona and that the wines and food made the evening special. It’s always my goal to go beyond the obvious and create a relaxed, engaging experience along the way, so I’m happy that came through. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d love to welcome you back for another round of discoveries next time you’re in the city. Warm regards, Javier
You MUST do this tour. Javier made our exploration of Barcelona food & wines just an incredible experience. He is super knowledgeable about wines and ensured we were able to taste the less typical/obvious wines and some real gems instead. In addition, he's just a great guy to spend a couple of hours with. His food choices were great as well. All in all, worth it 100%!
Thank you for such kind words! I’m especially happy you appreciated the more under-the-radar wines, those are always my favourites to share. It was a real pleasure hosting you, and I’m glad the experience came together the way it should. You guys are always welcome back anytime. Cheers.
Our tour was amazing. Our guides were so sweet, friendly and knowledgeable. I experienced this with my mom and my daughter. We all had a fabulous time.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to hear that you, your mom, and your daughter all had such a wonderful time together. I’m especially glad the experience felt welcoming and engaging across generations, that’s something we truly value. It was a pleasure hosting you in Barcelona. Warm regards, Javier
This was a really fun, unique way to see Barcelona. The tour leader was knowledgeable, fun, and approachable, and the selections were unique and felt much more local than anything I would have been able to source on my own for a short trip. The wine and food were nicely portioned, and the team was able to accommodate dietary restrictions relatively easily. This was a great value and a very fun way to access a more locally authentic experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m really glad the experience felt authentic and thoughtfully curated, that’s exactly what we strive for. Great to hear the pairings, portions, and dietary accommodations all came together seamlessly. It was a pleasure having you with us in Barcelona. Warm regards, Javier
Great tour, Javier does a great job explaining the wines and tapas at the three restaurants. You get to experience different tapas and wine pairings. Javier is very down to earth while providing insights and information. Would definitely book again the next time in Barcelona.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m really glad you enjoyed discovering the different tapas and wine pairings across the three stops. It means a lot to hear that the explanations and stories behind the wines helped make the experience special. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back anytime you’re in Barcelona for more great food, wine, and conversation. Cheers!
Great wines and food. Fun learning about Cataluñyan culture and regional wines. Javier was a wonderful host.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad you enjoyed both the wines and the food and that diving into Catalan culture and regional wines added something special to the experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to share this. Hope to raise another glass together in Barcelona someday 🍷
