For the very best food and wine experience in La Coruna, Galicia, look no more ;) I have lived in several countries and traveled to many, many more. After living in Mexico and the US, I decided to change continent and moved to Spain, my mother's homeland. I lived in Madrid initially for about 8 years before settling in La Coruna with my wife, who moved from the UK herself. I'm fully bilingual - I actually speak English on a daily basis at home as you can imagine from my family situation. During my travels, whether it's for business or pleasure, I always try to experience and soak in the local culture, of which I firmly believe gastronomy is a very important part of. I'm always looking for the hidden jewels known only by locals, apart from the well known, top-of-the-line places and renowned chefs of course. I believe a proper mix of both not only keeps a good balance but also helps experience the local scene to the max. On top of that, my family has roots in some of the best regions food and wine regions in Spain, Galicia being undoubtedly one of them. I also have very good friends and contacts in the restaurant and wine industry, which help me enjoy and share unique experiences, being made to feel at home when visiting them. I keep my own little wine cellar and enjoy cooking at home so I know what I'm looking for when I go out for a nice meal and treat myself. If the place is worth it, I'll go out my way to find it, try it and share the experience ;) I believe a day of sightseeing, discovering the town from a local perspective deserves ending on a high note with some fabulous food and wine! For the past 10 years or so, I've been lucky enough to meet like minded people from different walks of life and show them a good time in my neck of the woods with the only hope of turning their already great vacation into an unforgettable experience. As a result of this I can say I've been blessed to not only have met very interesting people, but also to have made fantastic new friends and stay in touch with them. Whether it be a very special day in town enjoying what other people only hear about; a private, specially designed, gourmet wine-paired dinner (often accompanied by the chef/owner/bodega); a day tour for a personalized visit to a nearby town and/or top winery (which on certain tours open especially for us) followed by a delicious meal washed down with amazing wines; or a multi-day trip to a nearby region including all of the above and more, it's all about you and the sky is the limit. I'm always open to suggestions, special requests and new adventures, so if there is anything you have in mind already, feel free to get in touch. I take a lot of pleasure in sharing this passion and will greatly enjoy showing you what this fabulous country has to offer for us foodies and wine lovers while soaking in the culture and sights from a local enthusiast's perspective. All my tours can be customized, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions I have a Master's Degree in Project Management and have worked in various different fields in my career. About 10 years ago I decided to follow my passion for food and wine learning as much as I could on an ongoing process while sharing it with friends, old and new by organizing different activities around them and haven't looked back since. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments.

Overview of your Vigo tour

With about 80 different official wine regions (5 of which are in Galicia), Spain has a wide array of wine tours on offer. This, however, is not your standard box group tour. This is an exclusive, one-of-a-kind food and wine experience! Rias Baixas refers to four estuarine inlets located on the southwestern coast of Galicia: Ria de Mouros e Noia, Ria de Arousa, Ria de Pontevedra and Ria de Vigo. The region borders to the north with Cape Finisterre and with Portugal to the South. It is rich in marine life, which helps the fishing and aquaculture industries and is well know for its beaches, marinas, distinctive towns and plenty of water activities. I'm lucky to have several top winery owners as friends, which translates into a truly unique experience, whenever I visit them. They have given me a true, insider's view of their wine making and shared with me stories, history and of course, their very best wines, all things I would love to share with you as part of this exclusive and customizable, VIP tour.

Your Vigo tour itinerary

This tour is originally designed as a shore excursion from La Coruna (about an hour driving each way). However, it can be adapted to start from Ferrol, Vigo or any other place in Galicia. It can also be part of a multi day or multi port tour. Once we get there, our hosts will give you a true, insider's view of the bodega's passion for wine making, their stories, history and of course, their very best wines! Depending on your particular itinerary, we will either have lunch right there at the bodega, paired with their fabulous wines of course, or head to a previously selected restaurant, where we'll enjoy some delicious and authentic Galician fare and of course, more wines! Galicia is known for it's amazing food and more than generous portions so make sure you are hungry, and thirsty! As I mentioned before, this is a totally customizable tour so please contact me with your particular requests so I can give you suggestions and we can put together a truly MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE for you!
