Spain has a long history of producing great wines and on our gourmet wine tours you'll find out exactly why the country's produce is so popular. Thanks to its abundance of grape varieties and its rich and diverse terrain, it is able to produce a fantastic array of wines that complement its delicious cuisine.

Indeed, food and wine go hand in hand in Spain and are a major focus of our gourmet wine and culinary tours. As well as sampling produce from some of the country's most exciting winemaking regions, from Rioja in the north to Andalusia in the south, you'll also dine in traditional tapas restaurants, explore the country's local food markets and take part in Spanish cooking classes with celebrated chefs.

All of the wineries featured in our tours have been hand-picked for the quality of their produce, as well as their architecture and the experience they offer to visitors.
