Gastronomy and Wine Tours

GASTROTOURISM, WHAT IS IT?

Gastrotourism or gastronomic tourism is a great way to get to know places. It is increasingly established in international tourism, since it is very attractive to know the most typical dishes and drinks of the place visited, as the main activity during the visit.

GASTRONOMY OFFERED BY CANTABRIA AND ITS SURROUNDINGS

Cantabria presents us with multiple ways to be able to carry out gastrotourism. Here are some of them:

Pinchos routes:in Cantabria, going out for an aperitif or a pincho is a real tradition, especially on holidays or weekends. What better way to do tourism than to follow this magnificent practice? We recommend the best places to feel like a Cantabrian.

Visits to wineries:Cantabria has a wide range of wineries to visit. We propose guided tours of its facilities to get to know first-hand the elaboration processes and carry out tastings.

Visit to anchovy canneries:a great proposal is to know the whole process of making the famous Anchovies of Santoña, to know the facilities and of course, to taste the products of the canneries.

Visit to cheese factories:we offer visits to cheese factories so that you can get to know the rural world from the inside. You can be in direct contact with animals and producers, know first-hand their work, their daily care, participate in the tasks they perform and enjoy their products: cheeses, curds, yogurts, …

Visit to pomace distilleries:a unique proposal to learn from the hand of its producers how the entire process of distillation of pomace, a typical product of Cantabria, is carried out.

Visit to beer producers:great temptation of this guided tour with tastings included, in addition to other experiences focused on beer. Cantabria, has about twenty breweries where you can discover the artisan technique.

Visit to producers of sobaos and quesadas:Without a doubt, the most typical products of Cantabria are the sobaos pasiegos and quesadas, you can not stay without visiting their facilities, observe how they make the elaborations in their small workshops and much less, leave the province without tasting their products.

Restaurants specialized in fish and seafood:one of the advantages of Cantabria is its location, thanks to being on the shores of the Cantabrian Sea you can taste in its restaurants the best and freshest fish and seafood. We have at your disposal a list where we recommend the best places where you can go to enjoy these products.
