Next, sip three different kinds of Spanish red wines from different vintages and grape varieties. Your sommelier will choose ones from the Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, Mencía, or Monastrell o Mazuelo.
Finally, round out your tastings with nibbles on cheeses, charcuterie, chocolate, and nuts as you immerse yourself in the flavors of the Spanish terroir's produce. Relax as you complete your tasting and understand more about Spanish wines.
