 Spanish
Wine & Gastronomy
In this new section designed especially for In Spain, Cellar
Tours are delighted to highlight a variety of wine regions
(emerging and traditional), winery profiles, gastronomic specialties,
and wine festivals and events.
Our writer - Genevieve McCarthy - is founder of Cellar
Tours, a hugely sucessful company that provides unforgettable
wine tours through some of the most charming, untouched wine
regions
in the world.
There are few wine producing countries that can boast such
a diversity of landscapes, wine styles and gastronomy as Spain.
The Celtic north -western region of Galicia, with its delightful,
fresh white Albariño wines and drizzly weather, starkly
contrasts with the lusty, velvety red wines being made in the
flat, hot Castillian plains of Ribera del Duero. The delicious
cold garlic soups, freshly caught seafood and zippy “Fino” style
wines of Andalucía have virtually nothing in common
with the wonderful (and heavy) meat dishes, winter vegetable
stews and luscious, full bodied red wines of Castilla y Leon.
Thanks to its diversity and quality, Spain is a fascinating
and rewarding destination for the gourmet traveller.
