This country has some of the most interesting, thought-provoking, unique, and pleasing wines. The reference to grape varietals is most often superceded by the region’s intricate soil characteristics and the glorious amount of wood aging (grapes are not even listed on the labels, but regions and aging terms are!)

THE RESULT: countless layers of flavors that usually leave the drinker speechless. Taste the reds and whites of Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Rueda and learn the difference between Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva wood aging. Plus, you will be able to experience the perfect blend of flavors from tasting premier Spanish wines with an array of distinct cheeses and TAPAS snacks from this Mediterranean country.
