About this tour
Spend 90 minutes tasting three regional wines and cheeses in a Santiago de Compostela restaurant run by locals who'll walk you through each pairing's backstory. The setting is intimate and unhurried—after the structured tasting wraps, you've got the run of the place to linger over a drink or order food. It's a solid introduction to what Galicia actually drinks and eats, delivered without ceremony.
Highlights
- Three Galician reds and whites, tasted side by side
- Three local cheese varieties with tasting notes
- Hands-on explanation from restaurant staff
- Meet locals in an authentic neighbourhood spot
- Free time to eat or drink afterwards
What to expect
You'll be seated and presented with three wine glasses and three cheese boards, each labelled and ready to explore. A staff member will talk through the vineyard or dairy behind each one—soil, ageing, what pairs with what—then step back and let you taste at your own pace. It's informal enough that you can ask questions. Once the formal tasting concludes (usually around the 90-minute mark), the restaurant is yours to use: order a meal, have another glass, or just sit and watch the street. No rushed departure.
Good to know
Arrive slightly early to settle in. The restaurant is walkable from the city centre and near public transport. Prams are fine. If you're sensitive to tannins or prefer lighter wines, mention it when you arrive.
