Winery Tour or Cooking Lesson in Sevilla or Barcelona
 

Has anyone ever taken a winery tour/tasting or a cooking class in Sevilla or Barcelona. Any that you would recommend that are priced reasonably?

We will be there at the end of May and I am looking for a few fun, different activities.

A little further North from Barcelona, you can find a winery visit at Torres near Girona.

I'm not sure about Sevilla but if you go a little further South, you can find a large selection of bodegas which give visits. Try in Jerez or even El Puerto de Santa Maria.

There is a cooking class in El Puerto but this is a longer period for the class. Plus, this is only in Spanish.

Stlaac,

From Sevilla your best bet is Jerez, it about an hour by train. Jerez is home of Sherry wine and many of the wineries are open for visits. I personally have visited sandeman http://www.sandeman.eu

They have scheduled visits daily - sorry can't remember the cost but it was not much.

For cooking classes in Seville and tours of sherry/manzanilla winery tours in Jerez and Sanlúcar, I look at A Question of Taste.

Epiculinary also has daily cooking classes in Seville with chef Willy Moya of the prestigious Poncio restaurant in the Barrio de Triana.

Ocio Vital offers one day tours to the wineries outside of Barcelona in the Penedès and Priorat.

Wrong link to Ocio Vital in the above.
Should be www.foodwinetours.com

In addition to the wine touring program, Ocio Vital offers half and full day cooking classes in Barcelona.
78 euros for class, 93 for class and visit to Boquería market.
