Wine and gastronomic experience in the Old City of A Coruña

Three wines, three tastes of Galicia, explained by someone who knows them

A 90-minute wine and food tasting in the Old City of A Coruña pairs three Galician wines from different regions with a cheese board, empanada and octopus, each one presented with explanation of its origin and character. The guide speaks English or Spanish and leads the experience in an establishment known for regional wines and products. Suitable for all fitness levels and wheelchair accessible.

The experience

You taste three Galician wines, each one chosen to show a different side of the region's vineyard. The guide explains where each wine comes from, how it is made and what you are tasting in the glass. The clarity matters here, because the wines are not just poured and left to speak for themselves. The pairing is built around what Galicia actually eats: a table of regional cheeses with their own stories, empanada as the foundation of local cooking, and octopus prepared the way it appears in the region's kitchens.

The experience runs about 90 minutes in a place that specializes in Galician wines and products, in the historic heart of A Coruña. You are not moving between stops or following a route. You are sitting with the wines and the food, learning them in one room. The guide is live (English or Spanish, your choice at checkout), and the staff of the establishment runs the tasting itself. Travelers under 18 receive alcohol-free beverages. Everyone else tastes the wines as part of the pairing.

The location is wheelchair accessible, all surfaces are accessible, and public transportation options are nearby. Infants can sit on an adult's lap or travel in a pram or stroller. Service animals are welcome.
