5 Stars for a wonderful vermouth tasting!…read more While planning a family trip to Spain I made sure to look for tasting experiences in each city. In Madrid, I found a guided Vermouth tasting (through Airbnb Experiences) at Madrid & Darracot. It's priced at 20 Euro per person (Fridays and Saturdays) and also available for booking directly through their website. We initially had a tough time finding the shop as it had recently moved locations just up the street, but once we did we had a great time! Our guide was Irish (if I recall) and Spanish, so he was able to do the tasting in English, but also answer questions from my parents in Spanish. He took us through four very distinct Vermouths and helped us get an understanding of the importance of this drink in the country. It was informative, fun, and we got recommendations for the rest of our stay. We of course grabbed a couple of bottles for the evening and we're really impressed by not only their wine and vermouth collection, but also their spirits (including bourbon). Overall, I would highly recommend booking a tasting while in Madrid!

After my hunt in Barcelona and Madrid, I'm so glad that I found El Txoko the only place that I was able to find blue wine. Now buy a bottle and get some feedbacks like "Omg you found it, can you get me a bottle?" "How does it taste, does it turn your tongue blue? Now I want to go!" "I'm so jealous you got a bottle, man you're so cool" Aside from these praises, you also get a lot of thumbs up when posting on social media. Valentin is such a charm and very knowledgeable to talk too as well. Don't forget to try their exotic ice cream flavors!
