Wonderful wine lovers trip
Spain

Sep 14 - Sep 28, 2024
We had a wonderful trip around Spain from Madrid through Rioja region to San Sebastian and Barcelona. We really enjoyed the recommendations made by our Kimkim guide Marina in each city, the restaurant recommendations came in especially handy! Each of our guides for various tours were wonderful. Manuel gave us a unique tour of Toledo that allowed us to see old hidden caves. In Rioja, Itziar provided us with a wealth of knowledge about wine and we loved the ability to have more private tastings at smaller vineyards. Jaime gave us a wonderful tour of some smaller towns along the Basque coast.
Activity Reviews
This was a very fun activity and we thought the guide was fun and engaging! It is a good activity to meet other travelers as well.
We loved getting to do wine tastings in an intimate setting. It was also nice to tour smaller production wines and try some unique wines in addition to the traditional Rioja varietals. We also enjoyed getting to learn about the grapes and vines during harvest season!
This was one of our favorite activities because we had a great guide and fun small group. Additionally, each of the pintxos we tried were delicious. Our guide Sarah was very sweet and prepared a further paper guide with recommendations for pintxos and things to do in San Sebastian
Our guide in Barcelona was fun to walk around with and learn about different wines from all around Spain. She took us to lovely, less touristy part of Barcelona for samplings of a variety of different wine and food pairings.
We had a lovely day being shown around Toledo. From driving around town for panoramic views to walking through various parts of town to tour old underground caves and churches, we really enjoyed the entire day with our guide.
