Food and Wine Tours

Upcoming Trip

The upcoming Taste of Andalucía Tour promises to be spectacular. The romance of Andalucía combined with the fresher than fresh seafood, the sin fin of tapas in Sevilla, the sherry tasting in Jerez, and in Granada, everything in Granada. As the inscription on the wall of the Alhambra famously reads, “There is no pain in life so cruel as to be blind in Granada”. See the Taste of Andalucía Tour.

Spanish Food and Wine Trails

Join us on a Food and Wine Tour led by Gerry Dawes. Traveling throughout Valencia, Andalucía or Extremadura, you will find yourself reeling from the astounding variety of Spanish food and wines. Top chefs, Michelin-starred & beyond-the-beaten-path restaurants, renowned wineries, artisanal cheeses and specialty foods come to your table.

Gerry Dawes is a specialist in Spanish food and wine. He writes and consults extensively on Spanish food and wine, and in 2003 won Spain’s prestigious Premio Nacional de Gastronomía, the coveted National Gastronomy Award. Thirty years of traveling throughout Spain has enabled Gerry to establish a commanding network of culinary professionals–chefs, vintners, artisanal food producers, culinary specialists–giving him an insider’s access to Spain’s gastronomic universe.

Gerry has led a number of food and wine tours to Spain, and past participants include top American chefs, wine clubs and the Culinary Institute of America. One such participant, Mark Miller, Chef/owner, Coyote Café in Santa Fe, NM, had this to say: “I have taken eight trips to Spain, but the best trip was the one Gerry Dawes orchestrated. His love and knowledge of the foods and wines of Spain are intoxicating. His ever-present enthusiasm made my Spanish experiences with him memorable.”
