Stop At: Bodega La Puntual, Carrer de Montcada, 22, 08003 Barcelona, Spain
Start your night the way most locals do in Barcelona—with a classic aperitif in Barcelona’s original style of tapas bar. Here you’ll enjoy sweet vermouth straight from the tap, and you’ll learn why this delicious fortified wine is making a comeback. You’ll also try two quintessential Barcelona tapas: Iberian ham croquettes and spicy patatas bravas.

Next up, you’ll head to a modern wine bar that highlights small, local Catalan wine producers. That means that the wines we try here are ones you’ll never find in a normal store! First we’ll dive into the world of sparkling Spanish wine—cava—which is mostly produced in Catalonia. You’ll taste two very different cavas before moving on to something Spain is a little less known for: white and rosé! These wines will be paired with gourmet, open-faced toasts, a traditional Catalan dish.
Duration: 50 minutes
Stop At: Bar del Pla, Carrer de Montcada, 2, 08003 Barcelona, Spain
We’ll finish with a sit-down tapas dinner at a restaurant that’s fully booked most nights of the week. If you want to understand tapas culture in Barcelona, this is where you need to go. The contemporary farm-to-table food has a clear connection to tradition, as well as to Barcelona’s modern cuisine. Plus, the owner even makes his own wine! You’ll taste a couple of Catalonia’s standout reds, paired alongside dishes like melt-in-your-mouth Iberian pork or tender braised beef.
