My wife and I had a wonderful time at this wine and food pairing experience. We were lucky enough to be the only guests that day, which made it feel very private and romantic.
Our host, who is originally from Chicago, was friendly, welcoming, and made the experience even more enjoyable. The wine was delicious, the food pairings were excellent, and we learned a lot along the way.
If you’re looking for a relaxing and intimate experience in Barcelona, I highly recommend this tasting!
Everything except finding it was excellent!
Host was awesome, food fantastic-Ira a full meal, wine matched well with the food. I highly recommend. Despite the different languages being spoken everyone friends and shared many stories.
In primate dinner with wonderfully paired dishes and local wines. The company around the table was eclectic yet engaging even amidst language differences. Will recommend to several friends visiting the area.
We lost power during our wine tasting and the staff was absolutely wonderful and entertaining during this power outage. Definitely recommend going on this excursion to anyone looking to book. Wine and food was excellent.
It's a very intimate setting with about 8 other people. The wine and food were amazing! The staff was very nice and did a great job of explaining each wine and each pairing of food. If you're a foodie this is a wonderful place.
It is Very hard to find. You’re looking for a crochet fashion store that will be closed - this is the front to the wine tasting and pairing dinner. You will notice on the side wall of the store it says Wine Bar - they open the doors just a little before the start time and it’s a room behind doors of the crochet store with two farmhouse tables set with glasses.
The host was very casually dressed, a lovely man. Myself and another couple were on time and we said we were willing to wait to start for another couple they were waiting on who were parking. He poured us plenty of wine until they arrived, which unfortunately was 45 mins late. We started a bit after 30 mins in. The intro cocktail was unique and delicious; the wine pairings were spot on.. the main dish was delicious but Luke warm. The dessert was fabulous. In general the pace was very slow, and the host was stressed helping in the back to move things along. That said, the pace was fine because we had fun talking with the new friends we made and drinking wine. We ended the night about 11:15pm, satisfied and happy.
A delicious meal, great wine, and new friends- what else could you ask for? The location was a little tricky to find, but the experience was worth it!
This wine-pairing tapas dinner was absolutely fantastic. The food and wine were both delicious, and each pairing felt thoughtful and perfectly matched. Robert did an outstanding job accommodating dietary requests and took the time to explain every wine and why it complemented each course, which added so much to the experience.
The setting at Vivino was lovely and intimate, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed, memorable evening. We all had a wonderful time, and the great music was a nice extra touch. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a special, well-curated wine and tapas dinner in Barcelona.
Delightful experience! Robert was exceptional in describing the dishes and then the accompanying wines. 5 Stars!
Lovely walk through five course tapas dinner. Wine pairings were wonderful. Robert our guide did a great job explaining the wines.
Easy to find. Our hosts were attentive and gave great explanations of each wine and course of food. Paying attention to any food allergies by participants. A wonderful experience!
This was a great combination of food & drinks with a nice explanation of each pairing. Some complemented each other while others contrasted so that you could better enjoy the experience
Doesn’t open until the exact booking time
so plan accordingly.
Cool walk to venue- we took the TMB.
Food and wine was great! Omar, our host was kind and accommodating!
The restaurant was private and beautiful. Our host was very knowledgeable and the food was delicious! If you love wine and or you are a foodie or you just want a great experience this tour is for you!
Logged into Viator for the first time in about a year and saw I never left a review for this. Over a year later, and I can tell you we had an amazing time with great food and great wine (even as a self proclaimed picky eater is was great!) 10/10 recommend.
This sommelier is incredibly knowledgeable, the food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is great. It’s also a really good opportunity to meet people from all over the world. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.
It was great! Such a fun experience and Christina is an amazing host. The food and the wine were delicious and the group was very lively
A great dinner with wonderful wine samples. It was nice to meet other travelers as well. You are able to choose between 2 options on your cold salad, main course, and dessert.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Hi, thank you for your kind review, we are glad to hear you had a great time with the other travelers!
Such a lovely experience, 5 wines plus a simple cocktail at the start with many courses of lovely food. I thought the portions looked small but we were so full by the end I'm glad he didn't give us more to eat! Lush wine, a really fun evening and excellent explanations and wine/food combinations. The restaurant is really lovely too and in a great area. Extremely good value for the price, thank you !

Hello,
Thank you for your kind review, we are glad to hear you enjoyed the courses and wine pairings!
We really enjoyed the information shared by our host Vivian, who was very personable. There were five courses, which was plenty of food. The pairings were well-selected, and were all from the regions surrounding Barcelona.
What a wonderful evening to celebrate my husband’s birthday than with an exclusive wine tasting and dinner led by our lovely
host and Sommelier. The meal was delicious and was deliciously complemented by the wines. This was definitely a must do!!
A very well prepared matching of food and wine selections. There were only three of us, but we shared an excellent evening of conversation, with the host giving us as much time as we wished to enjoy the fare and to ask questions. There was a wide variety of wine types (aperitif to dessert) and the food was largely of a very good standard.
Had a wonderful time with my friends for my husband's birthday! Excelente good, great wine and Agostina was an amazing host and guide... she made it fun and interesting
Our hostess was knowledgeable and friendly and the pairings amid wine and food were excellent! I would recommend highly for anyone who wants a great dining experience.
I had a great time at the dinner and pairing. Our sommeliers were very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about wine.
This was a last minute booking for us and so worth it! Private tasting of food and paired local wine. The restaurant was closed so we were a private part of 7 and met some wonderful other travellers! We thought excellent value for money for 5 courses and paired wine. Thoroughly recommend!
This was a fun evening and we learned quite a bit about various wines. The food options could be tricky for some but we enjoyed the bites that we had. Only 4 total at our table which was disappointing but we had a nice time.
The tapas were amazing and the wine pairings were impeccable! One of the best experiences you can have locally.
Lovely location easy to find. An awesome experience. Highly recommend I learned a in pairing The food quality and taste worked well with the wine.
Mostly when you have an wine tasting together the food the food is a bit simple but this food was amazingly good paired with the wines. We even had different choices and allergies where no problem at all. There was a great atmosphere with the whole table, everyone was talking with each other so really nice to meet other people as well! Overall, i would really recommend this even though you can think is it a bit expensive.
