You’ll slip into a cozy terrace in Seville for a sangria tasting with four unique recipes, guided by a local host who shares family stories and tips. Taste local cheese and olives as you learn what makes each sangria special — all in an easygoing setting where laughter feels as natural as the drinks themselves.
I almost missed the entrance — it’s tucked away behind some potted orange trees, not far from the river in Seville. My friend was already laughing at my sense of direction. We finally found La Terraza, and honestly, it felt like walking into someone’s living room more than a bar. There was this faint smell of citrus and wine in the air, and I could hear clinking glasses before I even saw anyone. Our host, Marta, waved us over with a grin that made me feel like we were old friends (even though she definitely didn’t know us).
The sangria tasting started pretty casually — no stiff speeches or anything. Marta handed us our first glass (white wine this time) and told us about her grandmother’s recipe for sangria blanca. I tried to repeat the word “naranja” like she did but probably butchered it; she just laughed and poured another round. Each sangria had its own twist: one with cava that fizzed up my nose, another deep red one that tasted almost spicy with cinnamon. We snacked on salty olives and this crumbly cheese that stuck to my fingers — I kept reaching for more even after I said I was full.
I didn’t expect to care much about how sangria is made, but by the third glass (maybe fourth?), I was asking questions about every ingredient. The sun shifted through the terrace windows and everything looked kind of golden for a minute. Marta explained why Sevillanos use certain fruits depending on the season — apparently strawberries are only for springtime here. There was a couple from Madrid at our table too; we ended up swapping stories about embarrassing language mistakes. The whole thing lasted about an hour and a half but somehow felt both quick and slow at once.
The experience lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes.
