Galicia is the place where the Spanish go to enjoy good food and good wine. Here, in the north of the Iberian Peninsula, they make spectacular wines, far away from large factories and mechanical work. Here in Galicia, the perfect world of wine still exists. Join us for this special wine tasting with a paired lunch of Galician specialities.
PLEASE NOTE: we need a minimum of two people for this experience to take place. If the minimum is not reached, we will notify you.
fantastic activity announced at this same platform with great reviews (Market Shopping and Cooking Workshop in A Coruña). This time, Pencil & Fork will focus on Galician wines, explaining the history of our vines, our different kinds of grapes, our geography and climate. We are at Alfredo Vicenti 29 and the experience will last from 12:00 to 14:00. We will talk about the five Designation of Origin (DOs) that we have in Galicia and will taste the three more known grapes: Godello, Albariño and Mencía – two whites and one red. However, this will be an interactive experience. Together, we will go through the three steps of our wine tasting: visual, olfactory and taste analysis. No previous knowledge in wine is needed - this is a pleasant activity for all, not only for wine connoisseurs. Each participant will have their own wine tasting score card and we will discuss each wine together. We will start with a Galician cheese board to match each wine. We will then pair each wine to typical Galician tapas which will bring them more to life and we will finish with a sweet touch.
The venue of activity is at Alfredo Vicenti street (number 29), just behind the Riazor beach. There is street parking available and a public parking, only a 2 minute walk from us. We are also 2 minutes away from Plaza de Pontevedra (Pontevedra Square), the main public transport link at La Coruña.
