A shout out to Madrid & Darracott. Not only did they provide us with regular online tastings during the lockdown, but they are the only wine shop in Madrid that I know of that have restarted their wine tastings in the new normal, Most other wine shops and bars are open here, but haven't started … Continue reading Thanks to Madrid & Darracott

Before we were put into lockdown I went to a lovely Champagne tasting at Reserva y Cata. This wine shop is based in central Madrid just off Paseo de Recolectos. It sells a range of both Spanish and International wines. It also has a small bar area and a table for wine tastings. I had … Continue reading Reserva y Cata
Bar La Espumosa
Located on Glorieta de Pintor Sorolla in Madrid Bar La Espumosa has become a post lockdown favourite. Firstly because it's a champagne bar and we wanted to celebrate our freedom. Secondly because it has a large Terraza that allows social distancing even for groups. The food is pretty good as well. Everything is made with … Continue reading Bar La Espumosa

DOC Enoteca Italiana
One of the great things about living in Madrid is the plethora of wine tastings available here. I could be out every night and have to stop myself for the sake of my liver.

Club de Vinos Madrid
Last month I went to an Italian Wine Tasting organised by Club De Vinos Madrid. This group is run off Meet-up and arranges monthly wine tastings at various wine bars around Madrid.
