The experience

The tour opens on Málaga's most iconic pedestrian street, Calle Marqués de Larios, then moves into the bars and restaurants where locals actually eat. You'll taste four wines (from Malaga's sweet wines to refreshing whites, fruity reds and artisan vermouth) paired with food at each stop. The first is a tavern founded in 1840 that still serves wine straight from the barrel, the way it has for over a century. Next comes a traditional Spanish grocery shop where you'll taste their house vermouth and Iberian cold cuts.

The route passes Constitution Square and the Cathedral as you move between tastings. At a classic local restaurant, you'll eat Andalusian tapas like gambas al pil pil or tenderloin in Pedro Ximénez sauce, each paired with a Spanish wine. The tour ends near the Alcazaba at a contemporary restaurant where a local chef reimagines traditional dishes (gazpachuelo malagueño or arroz con chistorras) alongside a final wine pairing. You'll leave with a Dining Guide to keep exploring Malaga's food scene on your own.

The group stays small, capped at 13 people, and the guide leads in English. If you have dietary restrictions, let the operator know at booking. They note that a fully cross-contamination-free experience cannot be guaranteed. Public transportation is available nearby if you need it to reach the starting point.
