Craft Gin Tasting in Madrid City Center

Context This craft gin tasting takes place at Vinopremier, a specialized wine bar located in Madrid’s historic city center, near Plaza Mayor. The experience immerses participants in the world of premium gins, featuring three carefully selected varieties distinguished by unique botanical profiles and innovative distillation processes. For example, Alkkemist gin is distilled according to lunar phases—a rare practice that imparts subtle, nuanced characteristics to the final spirit.

The Experience Over 1.5 to 2 hours, guests are guided through tasting three small gin and tonics made with premium craft gins such as Celtic Dos Héroes, cold-distilled for a crisp, clean profile, and Ginbear Madrid Dry Gin, which reflects local terroir. The aroma of juniper and citrus fills the air as participants learn to balance flavors and textures in each cocktail. The session includes a hands-on demonstration of cocktail preparation and ample time to ask questions and deepen understanding.

For Whom This activity is ideal for adults over 18 who are interested in artisanal beverages, botanicals, and distillation techniques. It suits small groups, couples, or enthusiasts seeking a relaxed, educational experience. Not recommended for individuals with botanical allergies or alcohol intolerance.
