We taste our way through Spain’s most famous wine region, Rioja, exploring the outstanding cuisine and internationally famous wines the area is known for: Tempranillo, Granacha, and Rioja Blanca.  We taste both modern and classic wine styles, learn about the complex history and culture of the area, and provide you with time on your own to make your own discoveries. 

​

Then we head to another of Spain’s great food regions:  the fiercely independent Basque Country, or País Vasco.  A picturesque mix of beautiful beaches, verdant agriculture, and sophisticated cities and small towns in northern Spain, the Basque region is known as a true foodie paradise.  Rumored to employ more chefs per capita than any other part of the world, this region is full of culinary delights.  It is also home to the indigenous Txakoli white wine, a crisp, lightly effervescent variety that naturally accompanies las frutas del mar of the northern coastline.
