Guidekin's take

Three hours in Madrid's oldest quarter with a Spanish Wine Tasting Association member pouring wines from his own collection, alongside acorn-fed Iberian ham and a Pedro Ximenez over ice cream finale.

Groups cap at eight; the crowd skews English speaking couples.

In our comparison: #7 of 49 in Food & Tapas Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
