Jamon tasting - Started off with a delicious local tapas and then moved to a ham house close by. We learned a lot about jamon and got to try a variety of cuts. Pedro was very kind, knowledgeable, and willing to answer any of our questions! Would highly recommend this tour, thank you!

A Top Tapas and Ham tour. - This was one of our favorite tours from our whole trip. Andrew, our tour guide, and also one of the owners of the company, carefully curated the locations and tastings. At each location we were able to sit as a group, learn about what we were tasting and enjoy delicious wine. The pace of the evening was relaxed and the company was great. We had a chance to get to know the others in our group, which made the evening even more fun. We highly recommend this tour!

Vamos a Tapas!!! - We had a great tour with Pedro, who taught us so much about Iberico Jamon, libero wines, tapas in general mixed in with the history of Old Madrid. Such rich history, food and wine! What could go wrong? Nothing! With all that, Pedro was the real treasure, so knowledgeable and personable.

Fantastic Tapas tour & unbelievable Ham Tasting - Pedro is a real pro with an encyclopedic knowledge of Spanish wines but the top prize had to be the Ham tasting with Cava.
I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in Spanish Wines and Ham

Great Introduction to Madrid & Spain - This tour was our first experience in Madrid, having landed the day before; Pedro was prompt and met us at appointed location, and we learned a little history and culture about the food and wine of Spain (and Madrid in particular) at two stops - the food was excellent and the wine a fine addition to the experience. Our small group of 6 enjoyed the lessons first with a light lunch then the various iberico ham options at our second stop. Pedro was a delight as a guide and we would recommend this tour to any and all.
