It was a super fun experience. We were divided in on tables with other people. Tristan explained the wines as we tried them it. And ended up taking 2 bottles with us

Itinerary
Treat yourself to the unique experience of an artisanal Spanish wine tasting hosted by a 3 Michelin Star Sommelier. My name is Tristan Van Doorn and I have worked as a Sommelier in some of the best Michelin restaurants in Europe. Arriving at The Tasting Room, my venue in the heart of Valencia, you will be welcomed with an aperitif. We will then begin tasting 5 artisanal Spanish wines while I go into detail about each wine, how wines from one region differ from the other and how the quality of the wine is determined. To compliment the tasting, you will also enjoy some typical Spanish tapas and some high-end Petit Fours!

Tristan was a fantastic host with great knowledge of the wines we tasted. The session lasted a little over 2 hours and was very informative and interesting. Definitely recommend!
We loved the wine tasting with Tristan! Tristan is very knowledgeable and experienced, and you can really tell how passionate he is about the wines he has carefully selected. He explains everything in a fun and approachable way, without making it feel too serious or complicated. The tasting is perfect whether you’re completely new to wine or already know a bit more and want to learn and taste something new. Tristan creates a really relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, which made the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend and well happily come back for another tasting :)
Really nice experience in the heart of Valencia, Tristan has a lot of wine knowledge and knows how to share it with you in a fun and understanding way. Its a good way to get to know other people as well as. Highly recommend if you like wine and get to know other people
What a wonderful experience! We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and we were introduced to the different wines in a fun and enthusiastic way. Each wine was a pleasant surprise, and it was great to learn more about the different flavors, origins, and stories behind the wines. All in all, it was a fantastic and enjoyable experience. We would definitely recommend it and would love to come back again!
Great experience. Loved the wine tasting by Tristan. He knows his stuff and displays this knowledge in an exciting way. Highly recommend a visit.
We had a fantastic time at the wine tasting in Valencia with Tristan, the sommelier. It was informative, relaxed and great fun, with a lovely sociable atmosphere. We sat around a table with other guests and everyone got chatting and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Tristan was knowledgable and engaging and made the whole experience really enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this wine tasting to anyone visiting Valencia.
Entertaining and great value. Tristan shares his vast knowledge of wine making and wines through exploring labels from smaller wineries in Valencia and Spain. Generating an appreciation of the regionally specific grape varietals and a curiosity for local wines in his guests.
It was lovely and interesting to know more about the wines!
Tristan was so knowledgeable and all of the wines were delicious! It’s a very social tasting and easy to meet other people.
What an amazing experience with Tristan! I went solo and met some lovely new people as the tables had been organised based on language I believe, so I had plenty of people to speak to. The booking fee was fair and the session length was perfect, with extra time after the session had ended to drink and talk and socialise. The setting was perfectly central and easy to find. I would totally book again! Thank you!
I received a tip from a Valencian friend that a Dutch sommelier organizes a wonderful wine experience in the old town. It was more than worth a try. We tasted beautiful wines with interesting stories, and the location was cozy as well.
We had a fantastic wine tasting experience! Tristan is incredibly knowledgeable and made the session both informative and engaging. We learned so much about Valencian wines while enjoying a wonderful selection. It was a fun, relaxed, and memorable experience that I highly recommend.
It was a great experience. Learned about different wines and had a good time with tasting and other attendees. The somelier has so much knowledge.
The tasting consisted of 6 different wines, one bubbly, three whites and two reds along with some snacks.
Everything was amazing. Tristan and the others were so friendly and knowledgeable. They were so welcoming and arranged an amazing experience. I had a fantastic time and highly recommend.
Upon arrival we were greeted with a lovely smile and glass of wine, shown to our seats. The whole tasting Tristan kept a great flow of the room more noisier tables got less attention to the tables wanting to listen. The food and wine was excellent, Tristan uses smaller local producers to keep things interesting. Thank you to Tristan and his team we had a lovely evening.
A wonderful evening hosted by sommelier Tristan. His explanations about the winemaking process, the influence of different climates, and the stories behind each wine were clear, engaging, and easy to follow. We tasted a great selection of wines, including some local grape varieties I had never encountered before — a real discovery. Overall a very enjoyable and informative experience. Highly recommended.
We had a great experience! The tasting is right in the heart of Valencia. We got to try five delicious wines paired with tasty snacks. Tristan is very knowledgeable about wine, so it was really enjoyable to learn from him. Highly recommended!
I went to Tristan's wine tasting as a birthday treat for my girlfriend and had an excellent time. Always a good sign when the 2 hours feels like it flies by! We enjoyed a really nice selection of 5 wines which were explained to us expertly by Tristan. The environment was very welcoming as we sat with other groups who were there for the experience and the tapas throughout were lovely. Will be looking out for another opportunity to join an event, thank you Tristan!
Nice experience. Tristán has a wide knowledge on the wine culture and explains all with clarity. Interesting selection of wineries.
A wonderful wine tasting experience in the heart of València! Tristan, the sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tasting both fun and informative. The wine selection was excellent, and the hors d’oeuvres paired perfectly. A great experience that I’d highly recommend while in València!
It was an amazing experience, a must visit for anyone going to Valencia!
Excellent tasting of Spanish wines from multiple appellation. We tasted six wines and had some snacks (meat and cheese) served to complement the wine. Tristan was an amazing host and shared his extensive wine knowledge. The wines came from small producers and showcased the artistry of the winemaker.
Tristan is a great host. At his tasting you start with some general info on wine production, as well as the different wines of Spain. The best part is the tasting though. All the wines are from small boutique bodegas, not the standard wines you can find in the supermarket. The different tastest really give a glimpse of the richness of the Spanish wines. 100% recommendation
Tristan was a good host, kind and polite. He shared kis knowledge the way anyone could easaly understand. Good wines, good vibes sprinkled with Tristan's unique personality.
Tristan hosted an interesting wine tasting evening. Good amount of facts and information without being too much. Lovely wines to try and nice tapas after. Good location, easy to get to from the town center. We booked directly on his website.
Last week I visited Tristan again for a wine tasting. In the past few years, I have already been there 4 or 5 times. Highly recommended. Tristan has incredible knowledge of (Spanish) wines, is always enthusiastic, manages to present surprising wines every time, especially from small houses, and makes every guest feel particularly welcome. Tasting a few fine wines between 18:00 and 20:00, followed by dinner on your own, makes for a top-notch evening in Valencia.
Great wines and great atmosphere!
Such a lovely experience! We really enjoyed it and had such a great time!
We had an amazing wine tasting experience! Everything was very well organized, and the atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and enjoyable. The sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about each wine in a fun and engaging way. The selection of wines was excellent, and the tapas paired perfectly with them. It was also great to share the experience with the other guests, which made the evening even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend this wine tasting to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and memorable experience
Ask what wines ae being tasted. The somilier was very good at providing what experiences you can expect from a particular wine. In all we tasted 1 Rose, 2 White wines and two red wines. It was a nice comfortable experience.
We were looking for a different Type of an activity and I saw this…looked fun and interesting so we booked it. We very much enjoyed Tristian. He’s charming, obviously knows a lot about wine. The wines were delicious…in fact we bought a bottle of 2 of them at end of event. There was NO pressure to do so which I liked. Even through we both enjoyed this…several things popped off to me that I do think he needs to rethink and change 1) even though I’m very outgoing and talked with the majority of the 9 other guests….a few arrived after us and I didn’t have a chance to chat with them. He introduced himself right off and then started with wines but since we were such a small group, I think he should have allowed time for each of us to introduce ourselves before we got started with wines. 2) the food was….NOT high end petit fours as described. A few pieces of a baguette, tiny bread with whipped ricotta and a small cheese plate at the end….isn’t enough. Not that we were looking for anything like a meal….something a bit more/heavier and different would be better. For $74 a person….it simply seemed lacking and should be improved upon.

My friend and I had a lovely evening at Tristan’s wine tasting event. Everything was perfect - nice venue, amazing wines, interesting information about the wines, and then delicious tapas. He gave enough time in between for everyone to socialize with other people at the table. The event felt very well-planned and thought-out. Not too short, not too long, just enough information, just enough wine and food for a pre-dinner outing. I highly recommend!
Tristan is a very pleasant, welcoming and talented host, whose passion for and knowledge about wine makes for a very enjoyable and educational wine tasting.
Amazing knowledge and overall experience - would highly recommend
Wonderful wines and Tristan was super friendly & knowledgeable
Great wine, good conversation, highly recommend
Great guy, Knows his share about wine, I had a lot of questions, i learned a lot. Definitely worth it Wish i could have stayed longer
Great wine with great explanation! Would recommend!!
Informative but felt like a sales pitch to buy wine. Snacks were very minimal compared to other venues. Over quickly host stood buy door waiting for us to leave… portions very small for the money. Venue impossible to communicate with.
Tristan really knows his wines, and really put thought into how each wine is better than the other. It's also nice to be able to connect with others really easily thanks to putting people at joined tables. This has been my second time and would recommend anyone with a love for wine to go!
Amazing experience!!! Meeting people plus learning about wine! Recomend it 100%
Excellent wines, a nice venue, and not too heavy on the wine jargon! The tapas were very tasty too.
We had a great wine tasting with Sommelier Tristan in Valencia. He served five delicious wines, with well-paired bites in between that complemented each one nicely. Tristan is friendly and knowledgeable! You can ask him anything, and he always has a clear answer. The setting was relaxed and made for a really enjoyable evening. Definitely recommended.
We had a wonderful evening at Tristan’s. The three of us did the tasting together. We learned a lot of new things and were able to stay afterwards for a nice glass of wine. The accompanying bites were original and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!
