Itinerary
Tapas Tour
Day One Sevilla
Transfer to your deluxe hotel. Your specialist guide picks you up at the hotel and leads you on a tapas tour of the best spots in Seville. The tabernas, though often diminutive, astound with the dizzying variety of tapas covering the bars. Your guide knows the specialties of each place.
Bodegas, an Alcázar & Cooking
Day Two Jerez & Sevilla
Today’s visit is a must as the sherry bodegas are unique in the world. Jerez, whose name means sherry, is home to myriad bodegas–cavernous palaces housing stack upon stack of wine barrels. We tour our first bodega and learn the intricacies of making sherry, brandy and sherry wine vinegar. After sampling a number of different types of sherry, we move on to a small family-run bodega to sample some remarkable wines. We then visit the thirteenth-century Moorish Alcázar in Jerez and eat in one of the best local restaurants featuring authentic jerezano cuisine.
We return to Seville for our first cooking class, where we begin our exploration of Spanish and Andalusian cuisines. Dinner with wine will be in the instructor’s restaurant.
