Tastings and pairings with wines, olive oils, cheeses and chocolates

All the workshops are designed for small groups who want to open bottles and discover the stories of each small producer or large winery, as well as for larger groups who are looking for a different way to relax or do group dynamics.

THE JOY OF WINE TASTING
The joy of wine tasting is an activity to enjoy wine and what's behind every glass of wine. At first, the activity involves detecting different aromas related to the wine through a fun aromas game. Once this first challenge has been overcome, a blind wine tasting begins to discover Empordà excellent wines, as well as wines from other Catalan wine regions, depending on the occasion.

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL TASTING
Virgin olive oil is a key product of the Mediterranean diet, it is the essence of olives, which are the fruit of the olive tree. We will learn to detect its aromas and flavours, which will indicate the quality of the oil, the ripeness of the olives, as well as the different Catalan varieties. With the official oil tasting glasses, we will taste each of the oils, focusing on the aromas, flavours and textures that can be perceived on the palate. We will discover excellent Empordà oils as well as oils from other Catalan designations of origin, depending on the occasion.

WINE AND CHEESE PAIRING
Wine and cheese pairing is a gastronomic activity to enjoy all kinds of wines combined with artisan cheeses, that is to say, cheeses made with raw milk from local Catalan dairies. The land gives them their personality, and the people who make them give them their quality. We will stop to detect the aromas and flavours of each product in order to learn how to best combine them.

WINE, OLIVE OIL AND CHOCOLATE PAIRING
Chocolate, wine and oil are synonymous with pleasure. But have you ever tried to combine these three delicacies? Pure cocoa does not go with just any product, in this gastronomic workshop we will look at which chocolates can be combined with certain wines and which chocolates make a fantastic combination with extra virgin olive oils.
