10/03 – Pairing – “Que no te den con queso”. This Spanish expression has its origin when merchants of dubious or low quality wines, or even chopped ones, offered buyers a cheese cover to accompany the wine tasting. The flavor of the cheese managed to disguise the flaws of the wine and the buyers left satisfied with this pairing. Over time this expression has become ingrained as a warning not to be deceived and to be forewarned. Nowadays there is a widespread opinion that wines are of good quality, and cheese is usually one of the favorite foods to accompany a glass of wine.

We propose a pairing of cheeses with wines to enjoy to the maximum this combination so rooted in our culture. We will discover the general characteristics of the cheeses that will allow us to choose the most suitable wine to pair with each of them. We will also introduce you to different types of wine to find out which cheese is the most suitable. We invite you to enjoy a great experience with 5 wines and a careful selection of cheeses.

24/03 – Tasting – The Penedès wine region is a historic territory where vine cultivation has been present for more than 2,700 years. Its landscape is characterized by a combination of forest, sea and a notable presence of large expanses of vineyards spread over the regions of Alt Penedès, Baix Penedès and Garraf. Each of them has landscapes so different from each other that, consequently, their wines are also an example of this characteristic contrast. The Denomination of Origin Penedès expands throughout this area and has the presence of more than a hundred wineries spread throughout the territory.

We present you a tour of 6 Penedes wines to get to know this liquid territory that, since the time of the Romans, has been well present throughout our history and the Mediterranean region.
