Description
Taste the flavours of Northern Spain on an epicurean journey through one of Europe’s most rewarding food and wine regions. A wine-lover’s variant of the stellar Northern Spain Real Food Adventure, this special itinerary comes courtesy of Vinomofo, like-minded friends of Intrepid whose wine knowledge and connections take the experience to the next level. Taste not only the best of hearty northern Spanish cuisine – from Catalonia through to Galicia – but visit handpicked provincial wineries along the way to sample some of the region’s most beloved varietals. Explore the underground caves of Laguardia, hit the beach in San Sebastian, experience a traditional Asturian sidreria (cider house) near Oviedo and venture to vineyards around Santiago de Compostela.
- In additional to your foodie Intrepid leader, this trip comes with the added bonus of a wine specialist from Vinomofo, which means double the epicurean expertise
- Enjoy tastings in top provincial wineries sought out by Vinomofo, including Vinedos de Paganos in Laguardia, and Losada Vinos de Finca in Cacabelos
- Steeped in pride and tradition that stretches back an age, Catalan cuisine is all about fresh local produce. Get a chef’s insight into the best ingredients at Santa Caterina market
- Logrono is a wonderland of top-notch taperias, each with their own speciality. Watch the master of mushrooms at Bar Soriano prepare hundreds of buttery, garlicky wild mushrooms for you to feast on during a tapas crawl
- Sample Rioja, the signature local drop, in the unique surrounds of Laguardia. Centuries-old cellars lie beneath this fascinating medieval walled city
- One cannot eat and drink all day, so mix things up by taking a hike in the epic Picos de National Park, soaking up its gorgeous Alpine-esque landscape
- Few places do a farmers market better than Potes – it’s been happening here in the same spot since the 1200s
