Brew and taste Colombian coffee with a Madrid twist

Great coffee starts with great beans, of course, and Colombia grows some of the best. In this hands-on workshop, we'll experiment with the best way to brew Colombian coffees to bring out their unique aromas and flavors. • I'll begin by talking about my project to source coffees from my family's estates in Colombia, have them roasted here in Madrid, and then sell them directly to Spanish customers. • Then, we'll make coffee using three different methods: the Moka pot, French press, and dripper. We'll talk about how factors like the fineness of the grind and steeping time affect the final cup. • We'll taste three different Colombian coffees using these methods, so you'll discover which brewing method works best with different beans and learn how to make it at home. You'll get to experience Madrid´s specialty coffee scene by tasting exceptional coffees, asking me all your questions about how coffee is grown and sourced, and learning new brewing skills to practice at home.

Savor Spanish wine and cheese pairings with a frommelier

In this pairing and tasting, indulge in some of the finest flavors from the diverse world of Spanish cheeses and wines—and discover your own favorites. • We’ll start with traditional Spanish cheeses. From the sophisticated manchego of Castilla-La Mancha to the pungent cabrales from Asturias, every cheese and its flavor tells you something about its region. • I’ll introduce you to Spanish wines from some of the world’s most famous wine regions. Whether you’re into bold reds with deep fruit flavours or a crisp, refreshing white, Spain has a wine to match your taste. • For the highlight, we’ll pair the two: the key is to match the weight of the wine with the texture of the cheese, and to experiment with combinations that you love. Everyone’s palate is different, so trust your own instincts. By the end of our time together, you’ll have a newfound appreciation for the cheeses and wines of Spain and how they bring out the best in one another.

Prepare to be dazzled by Spanish wines expertly paired with small bites, or tapas. Learn about how these wines are produced, the geography of different growing regions, and the characteristics of each winery while relaxing in this cozy, intimate wine bar. • We’ll start with a glass of cava, a fine Spanish sparkling wine, and discuss its production process, the winery's location, and its philosophy. • Enjoy a glass of white wine from Galicia, a Spanish region renowned for its white wines. You’ll learn about the region's unique viticulture system while snacking on a smoked sardine tapa, which complements the wine's salinity. • You’ll taste a full-bodied red wine from Ribera del Duero, Spain's most prestigious red wine region.

I offer you an indoors real local tapas crawling journey, based on traditional dishes. Over 3 hours we’ll be visiting 4 spots. A market cuisine restaurant, a well-kwown ice-cold beer bar for locals, a new slow food tavern, and a one-century old bodega in a high quality and non-touristy tapas area, which madrileños love.

All the included spots are family-owned bussines, and I'm lucky to know the owners (David, Jesús, José and Paco) since many years ago. I grew up in this fantastic district called Chamberí and I have been trying their many bars and dishes thoughout my life, so I know them... in detail! This is also a great experience for teams, groups and team-building!!!! There's a lot of food on our tour (10-12 tapas servings), we recommend you to make a light lunch!

Come with me on a intimate tour with a nice mix of history, architecture, fun anecdotes, a few jokes and really, really, tasty food (Not the mainstream, cliché, touristy food!). We'll start at the Plaza Mayor and then make our way through the old village, stopping at a local market to enjoy some entrees and drinks. Then continue our historical journey through the most ancient and interesting parts of the old town, to finally end before the majestic Royal Palace. After putting aside the history we’ll finish the tour at a really classic local restaurant where you'll get to taste different, mouth-watering food and local drinks. Of course, aside from the food goodies, we will get an opportunity to chill, know each other better and share some laughs. Come and see Madrid through my eyes, I want to make you feel as if you're walking through the city with a bunch of friends but one of them happens to know a lot about it and is more than willing to share the knowledge with you! If you're easygoing, like history and kind of a foodie, this is your place!
