Marina Alta wine walk with historian guide in Alicante

Wine and history on foot through Alicante's old streets

A four-hour guided walk through historic Alicante combines local history with wine tastings at three restaurants, each wine paired with a small dish, ending at a scenic restaurant for additional wines and bites. Led by Jan Kasimir, a historian and wine expert, in English, Spanish, German or Dutch. Minimum age 18. Wheelchair accessible.

The experience

Marina Alta's charming old streets are the setting for this walk, where Jan Kasimir leads you through the town while sharing its history: stories woven into the architecture and the neighborhoods themselves. The pace is unhurried. You're walking to discover, not racing through a checklist. Along the way, you stop at three local restaurants, each one a tasting point where a carefully chosen wine meets a small, prepared dish designed to complement it.

The experience builds toward a final restaurant, where the day doesn't end but expands: more wines arrive, more bites follow, and the afternoon stretches into a full immersion in what the region's food and wine culture actually tastes like. This is not a lecture about wine or a rushed sampling. It's a slow unfolding of flavor and context, with someone who knows both the town and the glass in front of you.

What’s included

• Guided exploration of historic streets and their stories led by Jan Kasimir, a historian and wine expert.
