A Taste of Alicante: Winery Tour and Wine Tasting with Tapas
This 3-hour experience in Alicante offers a chance to explore a picturesque winery in the Valencian Community, learn about wine-making, and sample three different wines paired with delicious tapas. Priced at $69 per person, the tour promises an intimate look at Spain’s local wine traditions, guided by knowledgeable staff in a small group setting.

What we love most? First, the personalized attention that comes with a limited group size—no overwhelming crowds here. Second, the combination of learning about the process from vine to bottle and tasting local wines that showcase regional character.

A minor consideration is that the tour requires moderate walking across outdoor vineyard areas and production rooms, so comfortable shoes are recommended. Also, as the tour is only open for booking 2 days in advance, you’ll need to plan a little ahead.
