Discover why Madrid is considered the spiritual home of vermouth on this intimate small-group experience through the city's most authentic bars.
Led by Tío Tours founder Nicholas and Madrid vermouth expert Luis, you'll visit five carefully selected vermouth bars, from century-old taverns to modern artisan vermuterías, while discovering the stories, traditions and flavours behind Madrid's favourite aperitif.
Begin with an exclusive guided tasting flight of more than five Spanish vermouth styles before exploring the city one bar at a time. Along the way you'll enjoy delicious tapas, hear fascinating local history and experience the relaxed social tradition Madrileños call "la hora del vermut".
With groups limited to just six guests, this is far more than a food or drinks tour - it's an authentic cultural experience that reveals a side of Madrid most visitors never discover.
