Discover yourself the amazing Spanish gourmet delicacies that our regions have to offer you. Have a real treat tasting our star products: Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Regional Wines, “Iberico” Smallgoods, Cheeses and the internationally awarded "ethical" foie gras.
Our guided gourmet tours consist in two parts: a full explanation of the product and a tasting session, lasting approximately two hours sampling different types of top quality products.
