Literary Quarter (Barrio de Las Letras)
Madrid, SpainStart things off with a stroll through Madrid's best neighborhood for a night out: the vibrant Literary Quarter. Get a sense of atmosphere through the beautiful architecture that surrounds you as you pass by locals making their way to their favorite bars for an aperitif—which you'll do next!20 minutes • Admission Ticket Free2
The first stop of your Madrid tapas and wine tour is one of the most eccentric taverns in the Literary Quarter, filled with unusual antiques and even an authentic Picasso. Come evening, this aptly named bar is constantly packed with dozens of "gatos" (a local nickname for Madrid residents) beginning their nights out with vermouth and light bites. You'll do just the same, pairing your flavorsome vermouth with a selection of tostas (open-faced sandwiches with a variety of ingredients) and the famous gilda, a savory skewer of pickled ingredients with roots in the north of Spain.30 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location

Plaza de Santa Ana
Madrid, Spain, 28012Dive deeper into the neighborhood of Las Letras as you soak up the lively atmosphere of a Madrid evening. Stroll the cobblestone streets and marvel at buildings that have been standing for centuries and whose stories helped shape the neighborhood. 20 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location4
Head to your next tapas bar: a neighborhood institution with roots in the 17th century that today is an essential stop on a Madrid-style night on the town. You’ll be treated to two white wines, crispy homemade croquettes, and a selection of Spanish cheeses while your guide shares insider knowledge on how to decode Spanish wine and read a wine label like a pro.35 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location

The final stop of your tapas and wine tour is a centennial tavern in the heart of the Literary Quarter. This historical landmark nearly closed down forever before three local chefs brought it back to life in recent years. It's the perfect place to end your evening with a fun wine challenge as you blind-taste two essential Spanish reds. Both pair perfectly with the shared plates you'll pass around the table: potatoes with spicy sauce and garlic aioli (patatas bravas), stuffed mushrooms, and the finest cut of Iberian pork available.45 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location
