Wine Tasting Initiation Course in Madrid

Maybe you’ve never taken a wine tasting initiation course, but surely you’ve said at some point:

‘I don’t understand wines, I just know if I like a wine or not…’

Well, congratulations! You’re already halfway to understanding wines.

Understanding wines doesn’t mean knowing the name of every winemaker from the more than 4,000 wineries in Spain. Understanding wine is knowing what you like, being able to define why you like it, and understanding the factors that contribute to your preference.

Gourmet Madrid’s wine tasting initiation courses have been a benchmark in Madrid’s wine leisure since 2008. Our sommeliers select very different wines from various Denominations of Origin to ensure that the tasting is an experience where you can compare, learn, and have a good time

We are winners of TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence since 2011 for the thirteenth consecutive year and triply belonging to the hall of fame, making us one of the top Wine tasting initiation course in Madrid.

Cata de Vinos Madrid
We had a wonderful wine tasting on a recent visit to Madrid.
Our sommelier Enrique was very knowledge and passionate about Spanish wines.
We look forward to taking what we learned and enjoying Spanish wines for years to come.

Wine tour Ribera Review
Superb wine tasting morning with Jaime. It was a real pleasure to spend a morning’s tasting with Jaime, and to get the benefit of part of his knowledge and enthusiasm for Spain’s huge variety of wine regions.
The chosen selection of wines was really thought through in order to highlight regional characteristics, and was something that distinguishes this tasting from others I’ve attended.
It would be remise not to mention Jaime’s warmth and enthusiasm, and his keeness to share his knowledge of the local area and tips on places to lunch or dine (which we followed that night, and had a fantastic meal).
I’d definitely go on a wine tour with Gourmet Madrid the next time I’m in the city.

I organised a Wine Tasting event with Gourmet Madrid entertaining a group of clients.
Paula at Gourmet Madrid was extremely helpful and professional. The event was a great success, the location was good, the food was excellent and the sommelier Jaime was fantastic with the clients.
A well put together and executed evening. Gourmet Madrid are highly recommended!
