Overview

When you dine solo in a new city, you miss the story behind each dish and the relevance of each ingredient. On this half-day small-group food and wine tour, journey to a range of Barcelona eateries in the medieval district of El Born to sample rich paellas, ‘bomba de Barceloneta’ filled fried potato balls, and an eggplant tortilla or fried eggplant in balsamic honey, all paired with local wines and vermouth cocktails.

Small-group tour: Lots of chances to ask your guide questions
Bond over dinner with like-minded foodie travelers
Located near Picasso’s first home—a great spot to explore after dinner
Hear the cultural relevance of each dish—something most guidebooks miss

What's Included

Sip like a local: pour white wine from a porrón, enjoy a vermut cocktail, and toast with cava
Walk through the most iconic neighborhoods, from the alleys of El Born to the charm of Barceloneta

Fantastic experience! Lindsay was our guide, and she was awesome–very personable, fun, and knowledgable. The food was delicious, and there was way more of it than I expected (we made a couple extra stops that I don't think were listed in the description). It was such a fun way to learn about the city and its history. Would definitely do it again.

Great tour but pricey.

Victoria_D, Oct 2025

Great tour and food. Lots of walking but Sky was great. Food was. Good but not a lot for the cost. Wear comfy shoes.

We strive to provide the best selection of high quality ingredients in historic context for you on every tour, and we hope to host you again in a new foodie city to improve your experience with us!

Guide great, but food not so much

John_M, Oct 2025

Guide was excellent but the food was not. Sky was friendly and knowledgeable, she was born for this job. However, for the price I expected much higher quality and quantity of food/drink. It was mostly 'peasant' food which is available anywhere for next to nothing. Nothing served was the least bit special. I feel this tour was really overpriced.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear John, Thank you for taking the time to send us some feedback from your experience on the Barcelona Tapas & Wine Tour. We are thrilled that you liked your guide, but we´re sorry that the quality and quantity of the food was not to your expectations. We take your feedback very seriously, and appreciate the opportunity to improve our product to consistently offer the 5 star experience we strive for. We hope to have another opportunity in the future to improve your experience with us! Safe Travels!

Sky is an incredible tour guide! We had such a blast learning about the amazing history of Barcelona and eating and drinking through different neighborhoods, highlighting some of the most famous dishes. I would highly recommend!!!

Great experience from start to finish

Andrew_S, Jul 2025

Great experience from start to finish!! Our guide Sky did not disappoint. Learning about different cultures and traditions through their food is one of my favorite things to do while traveling. Her passion for sharing the flavors of Barcelona while intermixing the history was evident and powerful. On this tour you don’t just hear about history you step back in time and sip wine in a traditional manner. While this was my first time in Barcelona, it was not my first time using Eating Europe for food tours. I will happily continue booking their offerings!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Andrew, We love to hear that our passionate and knowledgeable local guides contribute to a memorable experience on tour! Thank you for sharing your experience on the Eating Barcelona Food & Wine Tour with Sky. We look forward to exploring more foodie cities with you in future travels!
