Savoring Madrid Since 2008…

15 Years Tasting Together

Founded by professionals with a long career in the world of wine

Gourmet Madrid was founded by professionals with a long history in the world of wine, gastronomic tourism and in communication projects of Madrid’s cultural heritage.

Our objective was to consolidate an offer based on the knowledge of a Madrid resident that could bring together the best possibilities of not only the city, but the province, the nearby wine-growing areas and its most interesting towns.

Always with wine and gastronomy as the common thread, we propose an approach to culture leaving conventional tourist routes and coming into contact with the local character.

Our commitment is to bring the Community of Madrid to its well-deserved position as a leading gastronomic destination, not only within Spain but on the world stage.

Since 2008 we have managed to transmit to our clients that warm feeling that comes from having drunk, eaten, learned something and shared a laugh in good company.

Our team

Journalist born in Madrid, with the ideology that people’s intellect flourishes at aperitif time at bar counters. By photographing and writing about cultural heritage and putting to good use the knowledge acquired during years of sneaking into wine fairs with the excuse of being a journalist, he decided to dedicate his efforts to bringing people closer to wine in one way or another. To do this, he looked for the ideal partner, finding, instead, Cristina Alonso with whom he founded Gourmet Madrid. Within it (of Gourmet Madrid, of course) you can enjoy his three great passions: Madrid, Wine and writing about himself in the third person. He is a sommelier, member of the Spanish Union of Tasters and collaborates in radio programs about gastronomy.


Jaime Baeza

An engineer by profession, she was the pioneer of wine tourism in Spain. From his fiefdom in Burgos, he has been organizing tailor-made trips for individuals and groups for more than 20 years in the most important wine regions and wineries in the country.
