Uncorked Vines started from a simple idea: the best moments in Barcelona usually happen around a table, not at a landmark.

Our small group tastings take you through Barcelona’s wine bars with a certified sommelier, matching Spanish wines to local food at each stop. The focus is on good bars, unhurried evenings, and getting a real feel for the city, rather than racing through a packed itinerary.

Barcelona isn’t short of tapas tours, but more people now want something smaller and more local than being walked around in a big group. So we keep the groups small, pick the bars carefully, and never rush: a handful of good wine bars, Spanish and Catalan wines, and food chosen to go with them. It’s about how much better wine tastes somewhere with a bit of character, at a pace that lets you enjoy it.

I’ve been around wine for as long as I can remember. I grew up in my father’s wine bar, so I learned early how hospitality works: the regulars, the talk across the bar, the way a good bottle pulls people around a table.
Later I trained as a sommelier and spent years working in restaurants and wine programs. I started Uncorked Vines to give visitors a more personal way to see Barcelona through its wine.
My approach is simple. Wine should feel approachable, never intimidating. I’m not trying to impress anyone with technical terms. I just want to help you find what you actually like, and see a bit more of Barcelona while you’re at it.
