Step-by-step itinerary

Food tour with tastings and city highlights

• Meet your local foodie host
• Enjoy 10 hand-picked food and drink tastings
• Taste classic Coca and Pimientos de Padron
• Try unique local dishes typical of Dénia

The experience

You meet your local foodie host and spend the next three hours moving through Dénia's food scene on foot, stopping at spots they've chosen based on what they actually eat and why. Each tasting is a real dish (not a sample plate or a demonstration), and the guide explains what makes it matter to the city. You'll taste Coca and Pimientos de Padron, the classics locals order, alongside unique dishes typical of Dénia that tourists usually miss. The guide tells you why they love each one, and you get to ask questions as you go.

The tour weaves food stops with city highlights, so you're not just eating. You're learning the place through what it eats. Between tastings, you stop to look at landmarks and hear their local relevance from someone who knows the neighborhood. If you have dietary restrictions or prefer vegetarian options, let your host know at booking and they'll adjust the tastings to match. The tour is private: only you and your guide, no other groups joining in.

You pick the 6-tasting or 10-tasting option when you book. Both run the same three hours. The difference is how many stops you make and how much you eat. A carbon-neutral tour organized by a B-Corp certified company.
