“We loved our paella cooking class with Victor and Belen. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, and Victor explained every step clearly, so it was easy to follow even if you are not an experienced cook. The class was fun, informative and very well organized, and we ended up with an amazing paella that tasted like something from a top restaurant. It’s a great experience for anyone who wants to learn real Valencian paella and enjoy a few hours in good company”

Valencia city-center wine tasting with sommelier Tristan Van Doorn, cava aperitif, 5 Spanish wines, tapas, and petit fours in about 2 hours.
“As a wine lover, looked forward to this experience only to be disappointed. The event was way overbooked with about 35 people on this tiny terrace. The actual occupancy should’ve been max 10-15 people. Everyone was sardined in and couldn’t move nor hear the explanation. Speaking of sardines, the “high-end petit fours” were sardine paste on white bread and a whipped gorgonzola thingie with fig, along with plain white bread. All of which were served late in the tasting and were of questionable taste level. All in all, the wine selection was fine, the host provided some information although it was hard to hear with all the people there and…”

“This was a great half day tour to a less well known wine region of Spain. Elise was our guide and everything ran very smoothly. The tour itself was really well structured (we got to visit one of a larger wineries followed by a family winery) and Elise was excellent at facilitating the wine tastings. Her wine knowledge is very impressive and her tour would definitely be enjoyable to more seasoned wine appreciators as well as those who are just beginning to learn or simply enjoy a good glass of wine. Highly recommend this tour & Elise as your guide.”

“We had a really unexpected start to this trip, when we were waiting with our guide Paulius for coffee at a cafe near the first winery stop…my husband’s chair collapsed under him when he tried to move out of the sun, and he cut the back of his head on the corner of the table! It was bleeding & looked like a few stitches were needed. Paulius was great—so helpful!! He immediately drove us to the nearby hospital ER, helping us translate. He said that, in his 10+ years of doing the wine tours, this was a first for him, but he handled everything like a pro. Thankfully, it wasn’t…”

Amanda prepared the most incredible ten course meal with wine pairings to eat whilst watching the sun go down. They were both so lovely and welcoming!”
Small-group Valencia wine and tapas tasting in Ruzafa with a sommelier, 4 wines, 5 tapas to share, and stories from local regions.
“Our tour started late as we were waiting for another person (not part of our group) to arrive. Once she joined us we went round the corner from the meeting point to a tapas bar, where we remained for the duration. We were expecting a tour as stated in the description, so this was a bit disappointing. Paul was very free flowing with the wine and knowledgeable which was great, but title of the activity is a bit misleading, especially given the price of it.”

“This tour is a great day trip from Valencia. Even though this is the off-season (February), we enjoyed seeing the Spanish countryside, especially with the help of David's commentary. He explained the history of wine making in Spain, as well as historical information about the town of Requena. Both wineries were interesting, especially the underground "caves" at Murviedro. Highly recommend!”
