About this tour
Venture beneath Madrid's historic centre into a restored underground bodega—the former home of a legendary guitar tavern—for a self-paced wine tasting. You'll navigate Spain's regional wines independently using audio guides or tasting notes, sampling four selections across white, red, or mixed varieties. Pair your wines with local cheese or chorizo, or upgrade to watch flamenco dancers perform in the atmospheric cave. The whole experience takes 45 minutes.
Highlights
- Underground cellar in a converted historic mesón
- Four Spanish wines at your own pace
- Audio guides in English, Spanish, or French
- Local artisanal cheese or chorizo pairing
- Optional live flamenco in the cave
- Intimate stone setting below the city streets
What to expect
You'll descend stone stairs into a cool, candlelit cellar with exposed brick and vaulted ceilings. The tasting unfolds on your terms: grab your audio guide or tasting sheet and work through four Spanish wines—Rioja reds, Albariño whites, or a blend. Each pour comes with tasting notes to guide your palate. A plate of local cheese or cured chorizo arrives to complement the wines. If you've booked the flamenco upgrade, dancers will perform among the tables, their footwork echoing off the cave walls. The whole affair feels more like a private discovery than a group tour.
Good to know
Booking opens wine pairing choices at checkout; select your preference then. The cave stays cool year-round. Arrive 10 minutes early to collect materials. Limited seating if you've chosen the flamenco option, so book ahead. Not wheelchair accessible due to stairs.
