Wine tasting is supposed to be fun. We take the snobbery out of discovery.

As the name suggests, ¿Wine Not? is all about drinking the wine, we like to say that we always swallow, never spit when it comes to vino. We won’t bore you with useless advice on how the wine should  taste, but instead give you some information about the region it comes from, the grapes used, any interesting information about the wine’s production – while you taste the wine and tell us what you think. 

While we’re tasting the wines there will be music playing and snacks provided and the conversation will flow just like the very generous glasses of wine we pour up. 

Stoke Travel and ¿Wine Not? offer Barcelona wine tastings for lovers of wine, people who actually love to drink wine, and don’t want to be bored with self-indulgent explanations or underwhelming pours. 

And the best thing about our wine tastings? We make sure that you get all the bang and for not much buck. You’ll be tasting more wine with us, and for less than more boring wine tastings in the city.

White or red? Wine not both? An exploration of Spanish and Catalan wines

We’ll be trying an array of wines from the immediate region, as well as from across Spain; our focus is on providing a diversity of delicious wines. From around Catalunya we’ll try wines from big hitting regions like Priorat and Penedes, but also from Alella – the area around Barcelona – as well as Emproda, Terra Alta, Montsant, Costers del Segre, and Pla del Bages. We travel around and visit small, boutique wineries to find the best wines from around the region for us to sample. 

But we don’t only stick to the immediate region. ¿Wine Not? also has a collection of the most exciting reds from La Rioja, Ribero del Duero, and lesser known areas, like Calatayud, Toro, Somontano, Requeña and Jumilla. We guarantee that we’ll introduce you to new wines and cheaper wine options from around Spain. 

We don’t just stick with the reds, though. We will take you on a journey, from white to reds, sampling Spain’s freshest and most fun summer whites. The quality of white wine is too often overlooked, but we’ll take you to some local white wine regions, like Alella and Penedes, and to further flung zones, like Galicia’s Rias Baixas, with its saltwater influenced whites, the amazing and unrefined whites that come out of Andalucia’s sherry regions, or Rueda, which finds itself nestled between two of Spain’s greatest red regions, but is renowned for its whites.

Let’s make a party of it. We’re here to swallow, not spit, after all. ¿Wine not?

These sessions are parties themselves, with free-flowing wine If you don’t feel like you’ve tried enough wine, we’ll give you your money back. 

Introducing: Bottomless Sangria & Salsa

Perfect for these colder evenings, the beginner Salsa classes will warm you up, with the bottomless Sangria (or white wine cava) giving you the confidence you need to hit those dance moves.
