This is the right choice for people who want to initiate on wine tasting, and for people that having some knowledge want to improve it and discover new wines.

Introductory wine tasting session
It is a two hours wine tasting session where through a very practical and enjoyable way are explained the main particularities of the wine tasting. Around eight to ten wines are tasted. The selection of the wine is made in order to taste wines with strong differences between them so that the new taster can easily and quickly start to identify the qualities of the wines. During each wine it is explained the characteristics of the production area, the history of the cellar and the particularities of the wine production and tasting.
We start with three different styles of white wines; these different wines will give us the opportunity to identify in the wines different aroma families, fruity, floral, spicy, etc. Before we move to red wine we taste one amazing aromatic Rosé from a very Appellation very close to our house, Cigales, where the fruity aromas of red fruit are just delicious.
The tasting of the red wines is an amazing thing, as we will taste the most representative elaborations in Spain. Starting with young and fruity red wines, going through barrel fermented and ending with old “Gran Reserva” wines we will discover the enormous variety of styles of wines in Spain. But most important after this course you will be able to see the differences between them and to better enjoy each wine you drink.
To end the wine tasting we will delight us with some of the sweet wines elaborated in Spain, such as Malvasía, Albillo, etc.
Wine and cheese pairing-tasting session
It is also an introductory wine tasting session where also wines are matched with some different cheese from local producers. The wines tasting is similar to the paragraph 1 above, but including cheese pairing. For each wine the characteristic of the wines, grape and elaboration are explained.
