Gastronomic tours

Enjoy the best food and wine tours at the best guaranteed prices. Can you imagine it? Spending your morning on a beach towel or hiking in the mountains… the afternoon discovering a museum and a winery… and when the sun sets, sitting down to a special dinner as part of a gourmet tour. What more could you ask for?

Which gastronomic experience should you choose?

Everyone travels differently. Some people prefer a beach holiday with nothing but a sun lounger, others choose the peace and quiet of a mountain stay, and many enjoy planning every visit and attraction in a bustling city. But there are also travelers who love variety—and often, that mix includes gastronomic experiences. At Reserving, we’ve got plenty to choose from. And as always, we keep an eye out for the best last-minute deals and discounts.

If you’re one of those travelers who likes to mix it up, this is the perfect read for you. Let’s take a look at some of the best food and wine routes in Spain and across Europe. They don’t need to be part of a long trip—they can be the main reason for a weekend getaway. In fact, the goal could be as simple and wonderful as eating and drinking well. Or better yet: discovering the customs and stories of a place through its food. That’s what culinary tourism is all about—understanding the world around us through flavor.

Why take a food tour on your holiday?

There are plenty of reasons. First, as we mentioned above, it’s a great way to make your trip more dynamic and interesting—breaking free from the monotony of everyday life. Second, it’s deeply cultural: culinary experiences are one of the best ways to learn about a region’s traditions. And third, perhaps most important: pure enjoyment. For many of us, happiness is a great dish and a fantastic wine. What more do you need to start planning your next foodie escape? These can be one-off culinary experiences you add to a broader holiday, or you can plan a whole trip around them. That’s the idea behind gastronomic tourism and wine tourism—two types of travel that are growing fast. Many hotels, cities, regions, and wineries now offer well-organized food and wine tours you can enjoy at your own pace.

Top gastronomic experiences in Spain

Spain has many things to be proud of, and food is high on the list. Listing every food tour would take a whole book (and in fact, there are several out there), so here are some highlights. You can’t go wrong with the gastronomic routes of Asturias, Aragón, or Andalusia (this flamenco show with a drink in the Albaicín and Sacromonte is pure magic). Don’t miss the chance to enjoy fresh seafood and wine in Galicia or the bold and beautiful flavors of the Basque Country. A food tour in Madrid or Barcelona is also a great way to truly understand Spain’s two biggest cities.

Looking for more specific plans? At Reserving, we have plenty for you. Try an Andalusian wine and flamenco experience in Seville, go tapas tasting and wine sampling in Montserrat, or visit the Mendoza Wineries in Alfaz del Pi (Alicante).
