Reviews
Priorat Wine Tour
My visit to the Priorat simply would not have been the same without Epicurean Ways. They got me into the best wineries. My guide knew just the right restaurants and personally knew the owners. It was wonderful. You go a long way to get there. Why not make the experience truly worth the journey?

Barcelona Walking Tour
George was wonderful! His knowledge of history, culture and food was extraordinary and we really tried to soak it all in. He did an excellent tour particularly since we wanted something more “unstructured” and perhaps a bit off the normal sightseeing path.

Gourmet San Sebastián
To summarize, this was a very well planned and executed gourmet trip.
