Very small group, 6, so we were able to talk and get to know folks from different countries. Tasted 3 wines and a number of cheeses. Conducted in the back of their cheese shop. We were full when we left. Lots of history on cheese and wine making in the region. Would recommend.
Amazing wine and cheese selection. Lovely description of the wines and cheeses. Perfect pour and lovely guide, Alex.
Great experience at a. local cheese shop. Lots of good information and generous amounts of cheese and wine! Host, Eunize is the best!
The host (Eunize) was excellent. We tasted a lovely variety of 5 local cheeses and 3 wines. Eunize gave us loads of info on the cheeses and wines and there was plenty of time for questions. There was a good amount of both cheese and wine, and a couple of times she even gave us a refill of both cheese and wine. I'd highly recommended this experience to foodies who want to sample some of the best produce the area has to offer.
Great introduction into Galician cheese and wines. Our host Eunice, was so knowledgeable and interesting - would highly recommend
This was booked and we turned up at the office early and were sent to the start point. Here the owner told us he had no idea there was a tour. After he called the operator it appears there is no tour. We therefore lost our evening and they assumed just refunding us is 100percect OK. Well we are going to this city once maybe in a lifetime so it's not OK to cancel in this way. Please improve this it's not acceptable
Eunizia was a very personable, knowledgeable and enthusiastic hostess. Also was attentive and answered questions in English very well. Ample servings of cheese & wine. Overall was a wonderful experience.
It was amazing. Eunize presented the cheeses and wines wonderfully. We all had a good time
Great experience tasting wine and cheese and learning about the local history and culture. All was delicious.
Great Galician cheese and wine tasting experience. Our guide Alex was really knowledgeable about the 5 cheeses and 3 wines that we tasted, & clearly very proud of his region. The taster portions of cheese were enormous & we left feeling completely full! He also has a shop in the city if you want more information or to buy anything that you have tried.
Really enjoyed this wine and cheese tasting. Our guide was lovely and we learnt a lot about the region. I would definitely recommend it.
This was a great experience! The wines and cheeses were all delicious and our guide was very knowledgeable. So glad we did this!
Great presentation by Eunize and the wine and cheese were delicious. She was so accommodating to us.
Great tasting. Plenty of cheese and wine provided. Eunize was lovely, she explained each cheese and wine and was a great host.
Really enjoyed the wine and cheese tasting experience in Santiago. Great way to learn a bit about the food and drink culture in that part of the world and have a laugh with a few new friends in the process.
Amazing wine and cheese, all locally made. Very generous amounts of each to try. The host was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Would absolutely recommend.
Excellent guide and lical cheese and wine.
We had a lovely tasting experience with Eunize, who was knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to take the tasting at our own pace and everything was delicious! Eunize also provided local recommendations for the rest of our visit. Thanks!
Excellent mix of cheeses and wines, intelligently presented and flexible in timing and mix. Eunice the perfect host too.
This was a perfect way to learn about and taste the local wine. The host was very knowledgeable. She introduced us to some amazing cheeses. We also had honey with the blue. I would recommend this tour.
Had an amazing experience, delicious cheese and wine! Our host was friendly and extensively knowledgeable on the products. Would do again!
Good price for the experience. Very pleasant considering that a person that was explaining wasn’t usually for an English speakers, but he managed to explain everything very well.
During the tasting, consisting of three wines and five cheeses (soft, smoked, aged, plus variations), I enjoyed the lively and detailed descriptions provided by the host, and enjoyed chatting with the Irish couple who were also attending. The event is hosted by a wine and cheese shop, so the guide tended to us while shuttling back and forth from the shop in another room. The wines and cheeses were outstanding, the guide was charming, and the whole experience was delightful.
Great experience. Sampled 3 wines and 5 cheeses. The hostess was knowledgeable and super friendly. Would recommend the tour.
The cheese was wonderful and wines were delicious. The chocolate and cookies added a nice touch. Enjoyed the history of the cheeses and family business
Wonderful experience, Eunize was a fabulous host. Would recommend to anyone travelling to Santiago. Great wines and cheese
Eunize is perfect for this job. She clearly loves her job, and is welcoming, informed, interesting and conversational. The tasting took place in a lovely little room in the back of one of the best cheese shops in Galicia. A perfect cozy spot to enjoy the wine and cheese combinations.
This was an amazing experience! High recommend it - great way to try exceptional gallego cheeses and wines from the region. Our host Eunize was great - super accommodating, knowledgeable and made the overall experience amazing. It is really intimate and quant in the back of a cheese shop - feels like you are at someone’s home. Great thing to do before dinner - but just don’t get too full off the generous portions of cheese like we did.
We really enjoyed this experience. The wine and cheese were delicious and we were given the option of asking for more if we wanted. Eunize was a wonderful host who she was so nice and very knowledgable and passionate about the products. Would definitely recommend.
We liked the wine and cheese! It was fun. Gave us something to do, we got to meet people and the cheese was delicious. The three wines were unique and really good. Two whites and one red.
There were 5 cheeses on offer along with 3 wines. The quality of the products was excellent and we enjoyed everything. Eunize our hostess was charming and very knowledgeable about the products.
Really enjoyable cheese and wine tasting with delightful Eunice- extremely informative and she clearly cares about the products she is sharing. Great value, so pleased we booked it ☺️
This was such a fun experience! The organizer contacted me when I was having trouble locating the shop and helped me find my way. The tasting was in a local cheese shop with really delicious cheeses. The wine pairings were also excellent. Eunize, our guide, was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail in both Spanish and English. I enjoyed connecting with the other participants as well. I ended up liking one of the cheeses so much that I bought some to take home with me! Highly recommend!
We had a great experience! We went as a two - mother and daughter and no others had booked in so we had a full experience as of a private tasting. The description says 3 wines but we actually had 5 large full glasses and tried 5 cheeses which are all local from the shop. Eunize Our host was fabulous and she was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Full recommend and great value for money to try local cheese and wine.
Had a spare couple of hours so decided to book the cheese and wine tasting experience of galicia. Would highly recommend to anyone, the setting was brilliant, the host was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the cheese and wine. And the wines and cheeses were so good. If have an hour or two spare get your self there, you won't be disappointed.
This was very enjoyable. Our guide was very welcoming and knowledgeable Three lovely wines and five delicious cheeses. Good value for money.
Our wine and cheese tasting experience with Galicia travels in Santiago De Compostela was fantastic. Our host Eunize was so knowledgeable and friendly.

5 Really interesting to hear about the different local cheeses which were beautiful Wines equally fab. Eunize was very generous with the wines Her knowledge was superb and English excellent
Cheese and wine tasting was held in a cute restaurant in downtown Santiago. Perfect night to end my Camino. All three wines were delicious and reasonably priced should you wish to buy a bottle.
Excellent experience and activity. Alex from Prestes did a great job, he was a great one. The experience was very enjoyable.
Eunicia was lovely - smart, funny and knowledgeable about her cheese products and the wines served with them. Cozy atmosphere and excellent presentation.
This is a little family owned cheese shop. The girl working explained the different cheeses, how best to taste them and started us with a white wine made in the valley east of us. We had SIX different cheeses and three wines. It was pouring rain outside so this was a great interlude
We had a wonderful time and the cheeses and wines were delicious. Eunize was a wonderful host and very knowledgeable
Great tasting of 3 local wines and 5 (although we only expected 3) local cheeses. It was held in the back room of a cheese shop and had a lovely intimate atmosphere. Our host was knowledgeable, informative and friendly. We loved it!
We loved the intimate and laud back environment. Eunice was amazing!!! Very knowledgeable and she made the experience a memorable one for all of us…the cheese was also delicious!
What a great experience! Eunize was knowledgeable and engaging. The story behind each cheese and wine growing region really made the tasting. Highly recommended visiting Eunize for a wonderful afternoon.
