Description

Alicante or Murcia?

Discover two wine regions in southeastern Spain in an experience designed to compare styles, varieties, and ways of understanding wine through a commented tasting of four carefully selected wines.

The experience is held at Espacio Anelis, a cozy wine bar in Orihuela Costa, La Zenia, and will be guided by the winemaker and winegrower Hilarión Pedauyé, who will accompany the group during the tasting explaining the characteristics of each wine, the particularities of its territories and the differences between varieties, soils and winemaking traditions.

During the tasting you will taste two wines from Alicante and two wines from Murcia, accompanied by four tapas inspired by both provinces.

Murcia will provide spiced almonds, Gordal olives and a selection of cheeses and sausages from the region. Alicante will respond with artichokes with ham and pickled aubergines.

More than a traditional tasting, this experience proposes to compare, discover and discuss while enjoying a selection of local wines and flavors in a relaxed and close atmosphere.

In the end, you will decide which connects more with you: Alicante or Murcia.
