Private Madrid Tapas & Wine Tour

Absolutely. Madrid is Spain’s gastronomic capital, but the city’s best spots are easy to miss without a local. A private tour gives your group exclusive access to a hidden Rioja cellar, La Campana skip-the-line, the Royal-favourite Jamón Ibérico, and the city’s best garlic shrimp — at a flexible pace, with a guide focused entirely on you.

All food and drink across 5 stops, the Iberian ham-slicing experience, hidden Rioja cellar visit, La Campana skip-the-line, all wine and vermouth pairings, your dedicated private guide, and a donated meal via World Central Kitchen. No hidden charges, no upsells.

This private food tour runs 3.5 hours, with daily 10:30 am or 6:00 pm departures. Custom timings available for corporate groups on request.

Madrid’s Old Town (Madrid de los Austrias), Puerta del Sol (the city’s restless centre), Plaza Mayor (the imperial-era arcaded square), Mercado de San Miguel, and Barrio de las Letras (the Literary Quarter).

Private bookings are available for 2 to 12 guests. For larger groups, we can arrange a custom experience — get in touch.

We recommend at least 2 weeks ahead. Corporate groups should book 4+ weeks in advance — and around FITUR, Fruit Attraction, and major IFEMA fairs, much earlier.

Yes. Stops, pacing, dietary focus, wine selection, and start time can be adjusted. We can also build extended itineraries with our private tour team — including Toledo and Segovia day trips.

This tour is suitable from age 4 and up. Wine, vermouth, and cava are for ages 18+; non-alcoholic alternatives provided for younger guests, including the chocolate drink which kids especially love.

A full meal’s worth of Madrid classics — Jamón Ibérico carved in front of you, pan con tomate, garlic mushrooms, Padrón peppers, La Campana’s famous fried calamari sandwich, gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp), and handmade chocolates with a thick Spanish chocolate drink to finish.

Yes. Tinto de verano, white or sweet red wine, cava, local beer, vermouth, the chocolate drink, and water — all included in the price.

Vegetarian-friendly. Vegan, gluten-free, and kosher options may be limited given the Jamón Ibérico, calamari, and shrimp courses. Share dietary restrictions when booking; on a private booking we have more flexibility to plan around dietary needs.

Yes — you’ll eat at least the equivalent of a full meal across the 5 stops. The calamari sandwich and gambas alone are dinner-worthy.
