Spain is the third largest producer of wine and the world’s leading producer of olive oil. Its regional cheeses have won numerous international awards. So, we would like to take you on a gastronomic daytrip to introduce you to these 3 pillars of Spanish cuisine. From Seville we head south to the Grazalema and Ronda Sierras. Our first stop will be in a local olive mill on the outskirts of Zahara de la Sierra.
Enjoy a private tour of the mill and a tasting of country bread drizzled with olive oil. We will then travel further East to the outskirts of Ronda. Visit a local winery and enjoy a guided tour by our hosts around the vineyards and the bodega and of course, be privy to a tasting of their finest wines! Over 20 wineries now cultivate grapes on the land surrounding the town, most of them small, boutique and family run. Meteorological and topographical conditions ensure the production of some excellent red and white wines. It will then be time to drive to one of our favorite white villages for lunch and an explore. After lunch we will visit the delicatessen of a local producer of the famous Payoyo cheese where we will enjoy a tasting of the numerous styles and combinations of cheese that they produce. It will then be time to return to Seville after an action-packed gastro day.
