What to expect
You'll arrive at a central Madrid venue and spend 90 minutes making three drinks that define Spanish gatherings. Your guide walks through each recipe—proportions, timing, ingredient choices—then you prepare your own batch. Between pours, you'll hear why Spaniards reach for sangria at garden parties, red summer at casual meet-ups, and kalimotxo at street fiestas. The session stays loose and sociable; you're tasting as you go, nibbling Murcia-style crisps, and picking up the rhythms of Spanish social drinking. No lecture feel—just practical know-how and the kind of conversation that happens around a good drink.
