30 de May de 2025

Looking for a unique experience to enjoy with friends, family or colleagues? Organizing a private tasting is the best way to get into the world of wine in a fun, educational and personalized way. In our wine cellar in Malaga, we turn each tasting into an unforgettable event, tailored to your tastes and needs.

What is a private tasting and why choose it?

A private tasting is an exclusive session in which a sommelier or wine expert guides you through a selection of wines specially chosen for your group. It differs from open tastings because it is totally adapted to your preferences: the type of wines, the atmosphere, the duration and even the pairing.

Advantages of organizing a private tasting:

  • Total customization: Choose between tastings of red, white and sparkling wines, wines from different appellations such as Ribera del Duero, Rioja, Somontano, Bierzo, Jerez, local wines or even themes such as “wines of the world” or “cheese pairing”.
  • Exclusive attention: Only for your group, with the dedication of a professional who will answer all your questions and will reveal the secrets of each wine.
  • Ideal for celebrations: Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, company events, farewell parties, friends reunions or original gift experiences.
  • Fun learning: You don’t have to be an expert to enjoy. The tasting is adapted to the level of the participants, with pleasant and practical explanations.

How do we organize your private tasting?

In our wine cellar, we design each tasting to measure, taking care of all the details:

  1. Personalized advice: You tell us what kind of experience you are looking for, for how many people and what styles of wine you prefer.
  2. Wine selection: We propose several tasting options, including Andalusian, international, organic or premium wines.
  3. Exclusive space: We reserve our tasting room or, if you prefer, we organize the private tasting at your home, company or at the place of your choice (check availability).
  4. Gourmet pairings: We offer pairings with artisan cheeses, cold meats, chocolates and other selected products, to make the experience complete.
  5. Professional sommelier: An expert guides the tasting, explains each wine, solves doubts and shares anecdotes and curiosities of the wine world.
  6. Optional extras: You can include blind tastings, aroma games, thematic tastings (orange wines, signature wines, etc.) or even activities for company groups.
