Absolutely would recommend this wine and tapas tour in Madrid. Jimena is extremely knowledgeable as a sommelier and provides excellent information regarding each of the wines. The pairings were perfect and really enhanced the experience. Not only were the wines top notch, but the food was as well. Jimena made the evening very fun while immersing us in both the Spanish wine and food cultures of the regions. We also had the opportunity to explore areas of Madrid which were new to us. Great experience all around!

Jimena gave us a fabulous experience that we never could have experienced without her knowledge and insight. We all had a great evening and enjoyed every minute with her. The wine and tapas pairings were fantastic and so were her choices in establishments.

Great tapas and wine tour with Jimena. Jimena was very professional and taught us lots of knowledge on Spanish wine. The tour ended with a special celebration for our birthday guest :) With Jimena we could spent quality time together. Thank you so much.
