How is a Gourmet Wine Tasting and Pairing Madrid?

Once you create a balance with the main flavor components in both the wine and the dish, you can get creative by combining the more subtle flavors.

Rules we like following and transgressing as well.

  1. The wine should be more acidic than the food.
  2. The wine should be sweeter than the food.
  3. The wine should have the same intensity of flavor as the food.
  4. Red wines pair best with intensely flavored meats (e.g. red meat).
  5. White wines go best with meats of light intensity (e.g. fish or chicken).
  6. Sour wines (e.g. red wines) are best balanced with fat.
  7. It is better to accompany the wine with the sauce than with the meat.
  8. Most of the time, white, sparkling and rosé wines create contrasting pairings.
  9. Most of the time, red wines will create congruent pairings.

Wine tour Ribera Review

Ismael made our tour wonderful. I was staying in a hotel near Atocha station, which was close to the pick-up station. Ismael was a great guide, knew his wine, helped translate when needed and invited us to a local restaurant for lunch. It was one of my favorite meals during my week-long visit. One of the owners of the wine did not know English, but he knew his wine very well. I ordered him a case for help. To help the owner, Ismael gave the tour. 100 would go again and do the same route with Ismael.

I had a great time on this tour and Carlos does a great job of helping everyone feel included and makes sure everyone is having a good time. The tapas selection was varied at each location and the wine choices on the tour were excellent. Definitely a lot of food for everyone and an enjoyable experience in Madrid.

A fantastic tapas tour through a good variety of boutique venues with a rich variety of food and wine. Carlos was an excellent guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and eager to answer as many questions as he could. I also met a very friendly group of fellow travelers on the tour. I highly recommend this tour if you are in Madrid for a short or long time. It is a very entertaining evening. It was very good value for money as well.
