Wine and ham pairing course

This review is well overdue. We were in Barcelona in October 2024 and were fortunate enough to find Enric and his tour offerings. He was responsive, accessible and set us up with a tour exactly matching our requests. The tour guide was a wonderful winemaker who was knowledgeable and provided us with insights and descriptions of the wine making and tasting process. It went flawless. When, not if, we return, another tour will be the first on our adventure on our itinerary!

This was an incredible day. Blanca took us to 3 wineries and then to a great lunch with wine pairing. WE would not change a single thing about the tour. 3 very different wineries but with excellent wine.

Una cata divertida, diferente y genial!

Hicimos una cata de vino en nuestra oficina y fue un total exito entre nuestros empleados. La calidad de los vinos, los detalles y explicación del sommelier y el servicio del camarero fueron excepcionales. El quiz hizo con que la experiencia fuera aún más divertida. Recomiendo 100%. Muchas gracias!

Cata bien explicada con apertura de botellas de ejemplo. Amena e instructiva. Recomiendo el curso de dos catas porque puedes probar toda la gama de vinos, incluido vermut y moscatel!. Curso totalmente recomendado.

I went on a private wine tour to Priorat and had an absolutely amazing time. Our guide Xavier was friendly and knowledgeable and really elevated our experience. We did tasting at two wineries and they were good story-tellers of their production and their passion for farming and winemaking.

My wife and I scheduled to visit three wineries in the Priorat wine region. We knew nothing about this area, but since it is better known for red wines (our preference), it seemed like the best place to go. Enric picked us up at our Barcelona apartment in his very nice and clean car. He spoke to us about the area during the trip there. After a quick stop at a very nice bakery, we arrived in the old medieval town of Porrera (population 470). The town was fabulous, and all three wineries were there. We proceeded first to a rustic (here, a good word) family-owned winery that was established in 1780, and tasted several wonderful wines. The next stop was similar, but we tasted the wines atop a mountain in the winery’s vineyards. Again, excellent wines! Our final destination was a very modern winery for lunch and, of course, more wines. It should be noted that while we purchased wines from all of the wineries, we never felt pressured to do so. Moreover, Enric will handle all of the shipping back to the U.S., once the local temperatures cool. It should also be noted that on the way back to Barcelona, Enric stated that many of his clients sleep on the way back, which I did. I am told my wife and he continued to talk wines during the return trip.

Overall, maybe the best winery tour we have ever had, and we have had many! Thanks Enric!

Enric ha organizado para nuestro pequeño grupo un evento privado inmejorable. La cata de 5 vinos con maridaje de quesos ha sido muy interesante y divertida. Seguramente volveré a contactar con él para más eventos.

If you're contemplating a wine tour in the Barcelona area, this is definitely the company that you should go with. Enric is wonderful and very communicative, and he will ensure that you're taken to wineries that fit the types of wines that you're interested in. Our group had a wonderful day, and we can't give enough praise.

Fuimos con la empresa a una actividad de equipo y fue muy divertida, el sumiller (xavi, perdón si lo escribí mal) muy bueno y lo hizo muy ameno. Además te ponen algo de picar que ayuda a acompañar los vinos. Muy recomendable!

Molt bona experiència gastronòmica amb una combinació excel.lent de vins i formatges.

Una experiencia excelente. Muy profesionales y encantadores. Repetiremos seguro!!

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience with Lluba. She was a great guide, very knowledgeable about local history and geography, as well as the different wines produced in the area. The vineyards we visited were very well taken care of, and the wines were delicious and multifaceted. We received a short but thorough lesson in wine tasting and our host at the winery was wonderfully gracious. All the food provided was delicious and a vegetarian option was provided for me as well! Thanks to Sara at Vinoteca L’Olivera, & Enric and Lluba with Tacadevi for such a beautiful end to our trip!

Superb Penedes wine tour with Enric. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of Spanish wines and engaging. The three wineries we visited all offered a broad selection of white, red and cava, including some grapes that are a bit unusual but delicious. Our hosts at each of the wineries were enthusiastic and welcoming. The so-called "light lunch" at the last winery was substantial and delicious. Highly recommended.

Contraté el servicio para celebrar mi cumpleaños con amigas. Enric fue genial, nos lo pasamos súper bien, aprendimos mucho y fue una experiencia memorable. El servicio y los vinos excepcionales. Lo recomiendo muchísimo. Cuando vuelva a organizar una cata privada será con Taca de Vi.

Experiencia interessant

Un magnífic docent i enòleg ens ha ensenyat durant dos dies com fer un tast de vins i hem tastat uns vins excel·lents. Molt bona experiència!

Would thoroughly recommend Enric and his Company for the personal wine tasting tour - it was fantastic. We did the Penedès tour which was beautifully curated with 3 different wineries thoughtfully chosen (including a lovely lunch at the third). Enric was a pleasure to spend the day with and gave us lots of interesting information about the region and the history of wine making. Thanks again Enric, the day exceeded our expectations! Louise, Jan and Dan.

Hace unos días celebramos un evento de empresa en Taca de vi con cata de vinos y luego un tapeo y nos lo pasamos muy bien: la cata perfecta, la comida muy rica, y el servicio en general impecable! 100% recomendable!

They are incredible! They tailored visits for us to Priorat and Penedes, and it was an amazing experience we will remember forever (in the best way)! Highly, highly recommended!

Contratamos Tacadevi para nuestra reunión de empresa y el resultado superó todas las expectativas.
Enric es encantador y muy profesional. La elección de los vinos excelente. En el grupo había de todo y resultó muy interesante incluso para aquellos que no suelen beber vino.
Muy recomendable.

Very professional and a wonderful experience! Appreciated by the whole group! Really recommends.

Wonderful day with Lluba. She was fabulous and knowledgeable. The two wineries were amazing and it was a top notch experience. Also very easy to set up !!!

Molt professional, divertit i entretingut.

I booked a private tour with Enric for myself and my two cousins. We had the most excellent day with Enric. He brought us to some amazing wineries, guided us through tastings and was just the most pleasant, professional, friendly, knowledgeable guy to spend the day with. Enric even picked up a bottle of wine that was oxidised that we were trying, let them know so we could properly taste the wines. He’s clearly respected among the vignerons. We could not have asked for a better tour and I would highly recommend taking a tour with Taca de Vi.

Organizamos una cata de vinos para un grupo de 9 personas. Todos los asistentes disfrutaron mucho de la selección de vinos y del formato de la cata. Volveremos con otro cliente o para un evento interno sin dudarlo!

Hemos pasado un momento muy ameno y divertido, las explicaciones muy bien, hicimos la cata con maridaje de quesos y un pequeño juego de preguntas. Los quesos estaban muy ricos. Totalmente recomendable.

We recently had the pleasure of a private wine tour with Enric, and it was an unforgettable experience. The views of the three vineyards we visited were absolutely stunning. Each winery offered a unique and picturesque setting that truly enhanced the experience.

The wines and tapas were all delicious, providing a perfect pairing that showcased the local flavors. Enric's knowledge of the wines and the region was impressive. He was not only informative but also funny and engaging, making the tour both educational and entertaining.

Additionally, the staff at all the wineries were wonderful, providing excellent service and warm hospitality. We couldn't have asked for a better guide or a more enjoyable day. Highly recommend this tour with Enric to anyone looking to explore the local wine scene.

Una cata excelente. Tanto por los vinos como por el sommelier.
Pasemos un día genial.
Repetiremos.

David from Taca de vi provided one of the best tour experiences ever! From the breathtaking views of Montserrat to the incredible wine tasting, every moment was thoughtfully planned and expertly guided.

We’ve done many wine tastings, but this one was one of our absolute favorites. David’s deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and passion for the region made the experience both educational and enjoyable. He ensured everything was seamless, from transportation to the carefully selected winery, where we enjoyed outstanding wines and warm hospitality.

If you're looking for an unforgettable, top-tier tour in Spain, look no further than David and Taca de vi. Highly recommended!

The experience was amazing!!! Specially for wine lover who are looking for something original and exquisite

Hicimos una cata en grupo para nuestra empresa y quedamos encantados, la cercanía, el trato, los vinos y lo fácil que nos lo hicieron todo. Repetiremos

We booked the Penedes winery tour with Tacadevi and I would say it was the highlight of our trip to Barcelona! Enric communicated with us prior to our arrival in Spain, picked us up at our hotel right on time, and was very knowledgeable about all things wine! It was delightful to spend the day with him. From the wine caves, to amazing views of Monserrat, to a delicious lunch at the third winery, our day could not have been better. Every wine we tried was a winner and we had much of it shipped home to enjoy over the next several years! Thank you Enric and Tacadevi!

Experiència inoblidable!! La recordarem sempre. Ens van sentir molt ben acollits, l'espai meravellós, ben organitzat i ben atesos per tot l'equip, explicacions en anglès perfecte, bon menjar. Tot perfecte.

I’m not sure this review can even give the justice Enric and his tour deserves. My wife and I did the 3 winery Penedes wine tour and absolutely loved it! Enric is a very knowledgable guide, not only on wines, but the area we visited, cheeses, food pairings, etc; what a wealth of knowledge.

Enric picked 3 beautiful wineries that were all so unique and different from each other that we got a great feel for the entire wine region. We started off with a very picturesque winery where the tour guide there was also a Somm. She walked us through a wonderful array of wines and explained in fascinating detail how cava is made and the history and projects this winery is working on. We then went to a small, boutique winery where the owner is a one woman job. She was very knowledgable as well and her wines and bottles were memorable. We finished at an elegant estate winery where the tour guide Nuria took us through the cellar where they keep their Grand Cru Cava (one of 10 in the world I believe). And we finished with a tasting with a delicious local style lunch.

I cannot recommend this tour enough; it is worth every penny!

Fantastic experience! Enric is both very knowledgeable and extremely nice. Highly recommended.

Excellent tour, with knowledgeable tour guide, who is a local owner of a small winery. Enric goes above and beyond to ensure that the tour is tailored to your requests and that everything runs smoothly (he even brought my phone back to our hotel when I forgot it in our tour guide’s car). Penedes is a beautiful region of Spain and definitely worth a visit!

Muy contentos con la cata de vinos en casa. Selección buena, explicación detallada y una organización excelente. ¡Repetiremos!

Molt bon servei, molt propers i molt amables. Es gaudeix dels coneixements dels sommeliers. Molts recomanable!

A truly great experience. David was an amazing guide and made our day personalized and special. Each location we visited was breathtaking in both location and quality. Thank you!

Muy buena experiencia, vinos muy buenos y sumiller que nos ha sabido trasmitir su pasión por este producto tan especial!

We had a fabulous day on the Wine Tasting Tour, with our sommelier Enric Catala. The wineries were excellent, being managed by people with real passion for Spanish wine. The tastings and guidance coming from Enric was first rate. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Barbara and Keith Hutton

Terrific experience from start to finish!
Our personalized experience was everything we hoped for and even exceeded our expectations!
10/10!!

Excelente experiencia y opción diferente para gozar Barcelona. El conocimiento de Enric no deja nada que desear. Recibimos un trato que nos hizo sentir entre amigos de siempre.

Es genera un ambient molt agradable, ideal si estàs començant en aquest món dels vins. Vam aprendre i gaudir molt!

Realizamos con Taca de vi una cata de vinos con unos clientes en la tienda de Madrid, y todo salió muy bien. Los clientes quedaron muy satisfechos con la actividad.

This was the best wine tour we’ve been on! Enric being a sommelier meant that we got an additional layer of knowledge at each stop. He was fantastic! If you are ever in the Barcelona area, we can’t recommend him enough!

Great day in Priorat with Enric. Informative and fun. Wineries and lunch were wonderful experiences.

Las mejores catas de vino de Barcelona, las recomiendo mucho!

A very enjoyable day. Enric is very knowledgeable and passionate about regional wines and cava. We highly recommend using his services. We went a party of four and he he took excellent care of us during our time together

I booked this Private tour to the Priorat region of Spain with Enric for my birthday present. I couldn't have had a better birthday. Enric was the perfect host, driver and sommelier. He arranged a terrific line up of 3 wineries, including a very special one that normally doesn't take visitors. All the wineries were stunning, and the wines were excellent. If you have the chance and are looking for a for a 5 star wine tour, Enric and Taca de vi is the one to choose(even if you have to rearrange your travel schedule to fit him in). You will not go wrong.

Ha sigut una molt bona experiència.
Molt ben explicada i dirigida.
Ha sigut amena, divertida i aclaridora en les diverses preguntes que han sorgit durant el tast.
Els vins i caves ben escollits.
L'acompanyament de formatges curiós i agraït.
Una experiència totalment recomanable

We had an amazing tour with Anthony. We visited three absolutely beautiful wineries. Not only pretty visually but with delicious wines as well! Each was unique in it's own way. Plus, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at the end. Highly recommend!

Una experiencia estupenda! Esther nos ha hecho una cata de vinos para un evento y se nota que sabe mucho y que le gusta lo que hace, así que resulta en una experiencia perfecta! Gracias Esther!

We had a wonderful time touring beautiful vineyards.  Our driver and tour guide, Ricard, was amazingly friendly and hospitable.   We had such an enjoyable day.  I recommend this experience highly

Enric was fantastic! His sommelier knowledge and amazing personality was the perfect pairing for our tour in Priorat. He responded to all my questions prior the tour on a timely manner. The wineries that we visited were great. I’d definitely call him again for a tour as soon as we return to Barcelona.

We did the Montserrat and wine tour. Our tour guide, Lluba, was fantastic and very knowledgeable. She drove us to Montserrat and showed us around, and then we went to Can Bas Winery and there was a nice tour and lunch provided. We want to come back and do Priorat next! Thanks Lluba and Enric!

We had an outstanding experience with Enric and Tacadevi. From the first contact and throughout the entire wine tasting tour, everything was top notch. The wineries, the wines, the food and most important, the professional service and kindness by Enric made this a very memorable day for us. Thank you.

No dudéis en contar con ellos para cualquier evento. DE VERDAD!
Isabel nos atendió con una amabilidad impecable, y Enric hizo de la cata toda una experiencia, selección de vinos y quesos espectacular! Ayer fue la primera vez que trabajé con ellos, pero os puedo asegurar que no será la última.

Actualizo el comentario: segunda vez trabajando con ellos, y ya os puedo asegurar que no me planteo hacer una cata de vinos si no es con Taca de vi. Nos vemos pronto, segurísimo!! Millones de gracias por la implicación, la experiencia, y por hacerlo todo tan tan tan sencillo 🙂

We spent a wonderful day with Enric on a combined wine and bike tour through the beautiful landscapes of Penedes. Enric was an excellent guide and most important extremely knowledgeable about wines in general and Penedes area in particular. To top it off the day ended with a fantastic lunch at A T Roca vineyard with spectacular views. We would highly recommend Enric and this tour.

Hicimos una cata de vino online para el departamento como actividad Team building y fue genial! Enric lo organizó todo fabulosamente, adaptó la cata a nuestra empresa para que fuera 100% personalizada y lo pasamos muy bien ya que nos montó un juego super divertido!
Además gestionó el envío del vino perfectamente. La actividad ha supuesto un antes y un después en el equipo después de tantos meses teletrabajando! Super recomendable!

Experiència molt recomanable; cata i maridatge amb formatges.
Moltes gràcies Felip per transmetre la teva passió i amb bon humor.

I booked a winery tour as a birthday surprise during our recent trip to Barcelona and Enric helped to arrange a wonderful day with one of his best sommeliers, Ricard. Enric and Ricard communicated with me prior to arriving in Spain and make the arrangements and pick-up as smooth as possible. It was wonderful to have Ricard be our guide to ask questions about the area, history and the wine - he was very knowledgeable being a winemaker himself. The wineries were amazing and every single selection in the tastings were outstanding! The lunch and hosts at both wineries were also a delight making our day very special and memorable. Whenever we're back in Spain, we'll be in touch - thank you Ricard, Enric and Tacadevi!

Wine Tasting & competition in Barcelona
I recommend Tacadevi 100%, Enric managed the team building for our company in a high class event, he speaks very good English, he is a very good entertainer, he is very kind and engages people during the activity, he has a real passion for wine and he transmits it to the whole audience, I have to say that the team building was very well organised.

Espai agradable, dinàmica fluïda sense presses, explicacions interessants i formatives.

Ens ho vam passar molt be

Una molt gran experiència, molt contents amb la cata personalitzada que ens van fer. Recomanable 100%

Great experience touring Montserrat followed by a lovely and informational wine tasting along with a lunch at a local winery in the Penendes region. Our guide, Lluba, was highly knowledgeable and a great person to travel with. Highly recommend it!

Such a seamless experience. Everything was perfectly organised and catered for each individual of our group of 8. Beautiful tastings and wineries! Definitely recommend if you are in the Barcelona area 🙂

A great day with sommelier and wine maker, Riki. It was a delight spending time with him as he led us to 2 boutique wineries in the Penedes region. His passion for wine is infectious!

We had the most wonderful time on this tour. Our guide, Emma, was kind and knowledgeable, the wineries were beautiful, the wines amazing, and they even created a fully vegan lunch for us at the end. Everything was perfect, and we’ll definitely be booking with them again. Thank you Enric and Emma!

Our family of three spent a great afternoon with Enric touring a beautiful winery with amazing wines. Excellent tasting, food and conversation. Highly recommend!

Muy buena experiencia: un momento excelente, ameno y lleno de detalles.
La conversación y el intercambio de información durante la cata es excelente y sales habiendo disfrutado y aprendido.
Lo recomiendo.
¡Hasta pronto y muchas gracias!

We had a great visit! Enric was a perfect guide and we will definitely be using his company again when we visit Barcelona in the future! Great knowledge of the area, no language barrier at all and we felt comfortable.

Enhorabuena por la gran experiencia y gracias por el trato humano, la enseñanza y el momento. Mi pareja y yo nos hemos ido con una gran sonrisa (que nunca falte en la vida), aprendiendo conceptos que no sabíamos, con la sensación de haber estado rodeado de amigos y con un paladar más fino.

Miles de gracias a taca de vi y sobretodo a Felip, sin duda un gran maestro del vino y una muy grata persona.

Todo muy bien, el local, el sumiller y los vinos elegidos. Para repetir.

Es interessant.

Enric's tour and service are amazing. My wife and I had a fabulous time and he put together an incredible slate of wineries for us to explore in Priorat. We cannot recommend him enough. I have had private wine tours in our wine regions around the world, and this was hands down the best experience.

Hicimos una cata de vinos en casa con el sommelier Nani Ramon y nos encanto! fue muy amable, pudo esperar porque tuvimos uan demora y aparte trajo unos vinos bonissimos y explico cosas interesantes que hasta los amantes de vino como nosotros no sabiamos. totalmente recomendable y el precio vale la pena!

Una experiència increïble, un tast de vins i maridatge de formatges, molt recomanables. Repetirem segur

I have never written a Google review before, but I was so impressed with my recent wine tour with Enric and Tacadevi to Priorat that I really must!

We did the private tour to Priorat from Barcelona as part of a birthday vacation. We also included the 4x4 drive of our first vineyard. In my opinion, the 4x4 drive is an absolute MUST. It made the whole day for me. (And it was only stop number one!) We were overlooking a mountain range, sitting in the actual vineyard where the grapes were grown for the wine we were tasting - it was truly fantastic.

Enric was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and a great host. He picked us up from our hotel in Barcelona and, from then on, the entire day felt like a VIP experience.
I was really impressed with his selection of wineries. Each one felt special and different from the next. With great individual guides, great food, and really great wine. (And none of the those big, corporate places to be found, thankfully!)

I actually looked at a couple different companies and a few different tours before choosing this one. I am so happy with what I chose. If you are doing the same thing, look no further and book this one right now! I'd give it 10-Stars if Google allowed it.

Fantástica elección, la solicité para hacerla en casa como sorpresa para el cumpleaños de mi marido, éramos 14 personas. Disfrutamos de la elección de los vinos y del maridaje de quesos. Aprendimos cosas nuevas y fue ameno y divertido
Les he recomendado a varios amigos porque es un éxito su propuesta. Está claro que a nivel de gustos cada uno tiene el suyo, pero la propuesta es muy acertada.

Buena experiencia y buenos quesos!

Wonderful tour with an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. Good wines, good food, and a very enjoyable day.

We booked the Penedes Winery tour with Enric as part of our honeymoon and had an absolutely great time. After getting home we agreed it one of our favorite things we did abroad and would absoultely recommend the tour or an excursion with Enric to anyone looking for a fun experience in Spain.

We had a wonderful day exploring the wineries around Barcelona with Enric! He selected a great trio of wineries that provided an excellent representation of the wines from the area and neighboring regions. The education was outstanding and the tours and tastings lots of fun too! Highly recommend!!

Excellent trip, great wines. Enric was very knowledgeable, friendly and the two wineries were very good. Would recommend every time

We had an incredible day with Enric as he took us out to Penedes for a couple private winery tours! His winery selections were excellent. He was a pleasure to be with - very knowledgeable and personable. He even took us to a local chocolate store - bonus! Thanks for a wonderful day, Enric!

L Enric ens va organitzar un cap de setmana inoblidable per el Priorat, visitarem 4 cellers i cada un d ells va tenir el seu encant, també ens va reservar els restaurants on desfruitarem de la gastronomia local exquisida amb gent fabulosa que ens varen fer sentir com a casa. Esperem tenir mes ocasions per repetir experiència. Enhorabona per la teva professionalitat i atenció rebuda ha esta un vertader plaer, gràcies.

Fa un parell de setmanes vam organitzar una activitat de Team Building amb l'ajuda de l'Enric i la Isabel. El resultat va ser excel·lent i vam rebre un feedback immillorable per part del nostre client.
És una activitat ideal per a passar una tarda divertida i interessant, aprenent i degustant vins i formatges d'alta qualitat.

Gràcies de nou!

Perfecto de inicio hasta el fin: organicé una experiencia con Enric para un evento de empresa y todos quedaron encantados. Muy recomendable!!!

Un tast perfecta … Enric ets un crack. Moltes gracies

We have the most amazing wine tasting tour thanks to Xavi!!
Xavi pick us up at our hotel right on time with a huge smile. He grew up there so was full of information about the area, culture as well as wine and the wine region. We decided to visit two wineries one including lunch. Our first experience was seeing the discouragement of champagne in person. What a treat! I really enjoyed it. Great wine with a personal tour from someone working at each winery.
We felt like we were in the best hands, and with the best company. We would highly recommend this company, and if you have a chance to have Xavi as your guide you’re in luck!

Enric set us up with his colleague, Emma, to tour Can Bas winery. Rob (Can Bas employee), gave us a great tour full of history and Emma topped it off with plentiful information during our wine tasting and delicious food. 10/10 highly recommend
