Wine and gastronomic experience in the Old City of A Coruña

About this tour

Taste three Galician wines sourced from different regions across the vineyard, each paired with regional specialities in the heart of A Coruña's Old City. Over 90 minutes, you'll learn how each wine is made and what makes it distinctive, then match them against local cheeses, a traditional empanada, and octopus prepared the Galician way. The guide walks you through flavour profiles and the stories behind each pairing.

Highlights

• Three distinct Galician wines, each from different designation regions
• Local cheese selection with origin and character notes
• Traditional Galician empanada as cultural centrepiece
• Fresh octopus, cornerstone of regional food culture
• Intimate tasting in the Old City setting

What to expect

You'll move through three wines in sequence, spending time with each one. Before tasting, staff explain where the grapes come from, the winemaking process, and what your palate should pick up on—acidity, fruit character, finish. As you taste, the cheeses arrive first, followed by the empanada, then the octopus. It's not a lecture; it's conversational. Expect to ask questions and hear local stories woven in. The pace is unhurried, designed so you can actually taste the differences between wines and food rather than rush through.
