Get ready for a fun and fascinating exploration of Spanish food and wine in the style of an evening spent eating and drinking your way across Madrid in true local fashion. With a friendly, knowledgeable guide to lead the way, you'll discover some of the best tapas bars the Spanish capital has to offer—each with its own unique story to tell, not to mention perfectly paired tapas and Spanish wines. From a quirky hole-in-the-wall that stands as the perfect symbol of all things Madrid to a reinvented centennial tavern that's defining the modern tapas scene, you'll experience all the spots that madrileños know and love best.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Literary Quarter (Barrio de Las Letras)
Start things off with a stroll through Madrid's best neighborhood for a night out: the vibrant Literary Quarter. Get a sense of atmosphere through the beautiful architecture that surrounds you as you pass by locals making their way to their favorite bars for an aperitif—which you'll do next!
2.
The first stop of your Madrid tapas and wine tour is one of the most eccentric taverns in the Literary Quarter, filled with unusual antiques and even an authentic Picasso. Come evening, this aptly named bar is constantly packed with dozens of "gatos" (a local nickname for Madrid residents) beginning their nights out with vermouth and light bites. You'll do just the same, pairing your flavorsome vermouth with a selection of tostas (open-faced sandwiches with a variety of ingredients) and the famous gilda, a savory skewer of pickled ingredients with roots in the north of Spain.
3. Plaza de Santa Ana
Dive deeper into the neighborhood of Las Letras as you soak up the lively atmosphere of a Madrid evening. Stroll the cobblestone streets and marvel at buildings that have been standing for centuries and whose stories helped shape the neighborhood.
4.
Head to your next tapas bar: a neighborhood institution with roots in the 17th century that today is an essential stop on a Madrid-style night on the town. You’ll be treated to two white wines, crispy homemade croquettes, and a selection of Spanish cheeses while your guide shares insider knowledge on how to decode Spanish wine and read a wine label like a pro.
5.
The final stop of your tapas and wine tour is a centennial tavern in the heart of the Literary Quarter. This historical landmark nearly closed down forever before three local chefs brought it back to life in recent years. It's the perfect place to end your evening with a fun wine challenge as you blind-taste two essential Spanish reds. Both pair perfectly with the shared plates you'll pass around the table: potatoes with spicy sauce and garlic aioli (patatas bravas), stuffed mushrooms, and the finest cut of Iberian pork available.

Several people have recommended Devour Tours to us & now we know why! We took the Tapas & Wine Tour our 2nd night in Madrid and used what we learned throughout the rest of our travels in Spain. Our guide was Nicole, a US ex-pat who is now a winemaker in Spain. It was fascinating to get her perspective & she really engaged the whole tour group with interesting facts about the wines and tapas we were sampling. We went to a number of really cool tapas bars and had a reserved space at each. Devour Tours is definitely the way to go in Madrid! Can’t wait to try them on future travels to other cities!

If you are considering booking a tapas tour in Madrid.. THIS IS IT! I booked this tour for our first night in the city, and it was the perfect way to kick off the trip. Liliana was our guide, and not only does she have incredible knowledge about the city and the tapas culture, she is extremely passionate about wine! It was so much fun to talk with her about all of the food and wine we tasted. Everything about this tour felt so personal - each tapas spot was special in its own right. We loved our time with Liliana and absolutely loved this tour!

My husband and I were thrilled to have gone on the Madrid Tapas & Wine Tour led by Liliana. We had a wonderful evening and learned so much about the wines and food of Spain. Liliana was fun and so informative. We ate delicious food, drank a wide variety of delicious wines and made friends for life with our group filled with people of all ages from around the world. We are so glad to have spent our evening this way.

Montes gave us an amazing culture and history tour along with visits to some very old family owned bars. She guided us through some local favorite Tapas that I would have been unaware of. We sampled on site made vermouth and local wines. A great group and lots of fun. Would do again.

This was our sixth wine and tapas tour with Devour over several years and, like all our past experiences, it was instructional, fun and, above all, delicious. Arantxa was our terrific host, full of energy, charm and knowledge. You will not only have a good time, but learn a lot about Spanish wine, food, and history. We highly recommend this tour.
