Galicia is the place where the Spanish go to enjoy good food and good wine. Here, in the north of the Iberian Peninsula, they make spectacular wines, far away from large factories and mechanical work. Here in Galicia, the perfect world of wine still exists. Join us for this special wine tasting paired with local cheeses.

What to expect

This experience at La Coruña is brought to you by Pencil & Fork, host of another fantastic activity announced at this same platform with great reviews (Market Shopping and Cooking Workshop in A Coruña).

We will focus on Galician wines, explaining the history of our vines, our different kinds of grapes, our geography and climate. We are at Alfredo Vicenti 29 and the experience will last from 14:00 to 15:30 (other times may be available upon request)

We will talk about the five Galician DOs and will taste the three more known grapes: Godello, Albariño and Mencía (two whites and one red)

However, this will be an interactive experience. Together, we will go through the three steps of our wine tasting: visual, olfactory and taste analysis. No previous knowledge in wine is needed - this is a pleasant activity for all, not only for wine connoisseurs.

Each participant will have their own wine tasting score card and we will discuss each wine together. We will pair each wine with different local cheeses which will bring them more to life.
