        On our tour, you will be taken to a superb boutique olive mill, just 40 minutes’ drive from the centre of Seville. The mill which is an old “hacienda” or farmhouse is surrounded by olive trees of the Arebquina variety, which makes wonderful grassy and fruity olive oils. In fact, the oil produced at the mill, probably the best in the province of Seville, has won medals at tasting competitions all over the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, China, Japan and Israel. From the olive grove to the productions methods and the final product, you will learn about what goes in to making high quality extra virgin olive oil. You will also learn how to taste olive oil and how to recognize extra virgin olive oil and to differentiate it from lower quality oils. You will find out how to match olive oils with food, with an interesting tasting activity included. Altogether a wonderful experience.

        Join this tour, highly recommended!
        A most informative and enjoyable tour of a Iberian pig farm and iberico ham curing factory. Roger was a most delightful guide, providing lots of info on the iconic jamon of Spain and taking good care of us throughout the trip. We wanted to take another tour with Roger but as expected of such a good guide, Roger was already booked out in advance. Would definitely recommend anyone who is interested in iberico jamon to join this tour with Roger.

        Terrific tapas tour of Seville
        Roger was an excellent guide around some of the top tapas locations in central Seville. He's very well informed about everything Spanish including the wine and food and is warm and engaging. The evening was one of the best of our trip.

        Experience of a lifetime at an Iberian pig farm
        Roger Davies is first class. All I wanted for my 50th birthday was to visit an Iberian pig farm and then eat the best ham in the world. This is an all day excursion. We spent a few hours walking around a beautiful farm and then were treated to a delicious tasting of their ham and chorizo with wine. We then visited a ham producer, had a tour of their facilities and then ended with another amazing ham tasting with wine. We then finished our day with a leisurely lunch in Aracena. It was a perfect day.

        Brilliant. Just book it!
        Brilliant. Again. Roger knows all the places to go, is a fount of knowledge about food and wine AND about Seville. We did an evening taps tour, which cost E90 each, and we easily ate and drank more than half of that value. Four tapas bars, 8 or 9 dishes between us, four glasses of wine or sangria... When I said I liked chocos he ordered accordingly. We ate dishes we'd never have picked ourselves, went to places we'd never have found (including one bar at the back of a shop.. totally hidden unless you knew), and had a wonderful evening. This was our second trip with Roger.. first was a decade ago. And it was just as fabulous.

        Sherry is not an old person’s tipple
        We had a most enjoyable day with Roger, who took us to two interesting bodegas in Jerez. Roger is very personable and is able to impart his wide knowledge of the process of Sherry making in a clear and concise way. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him, to taste some wonderful sherries, to learn so much and to enjoy a delicious lunch. I would highly recommend his tour to anyone who is interested in tasting and learning about Sherry.

        A Day in Jerez
        Roger picked us up near our Airbnb in Seville and drove us to Jerez to visit two sherry bodegas. The first stop was at one of the large well known sherry houses. Roger used the barrels in the warehouses to detail the sherry making process (solera). And, a unique well lit barrel with glass ends enabled a perfect view of the 'Flor' mold layer. Our second stop was at a smaller bodega where could not only taste from bottles, but also from the barrels. This provided a unique opportunity to directly experience the magic maturation of sherry. We were also afforded time with the owner of the bodega, and the discussions provided great insight into the business of sherry. We concluded the tour with a superb lunch in the Jerez old town. Roger is a superb tour guide with vast knowledge of sherry and Spanish history.

        Informative and Enthusiastic Guide
        We really enjoyed this tour with Roger. He is very personable and knowledgeable about the wines (sherry) of the region. We learned so much and tasted great wines. It was interesting to walk around the cellars and taste the different varieties of wine in each room. We purchased a delicious bottle of vermouth at the second winery and can't wait to open the bottle. We also had a delicious meal in a small restaurant in Jerez that we still talk about (they have a cold potato salad that we never found on the menu elsewhere), which was followed by a short walking tour of Jerez. Because we decided that we also wanted to visit Cadiz, we asked Roger to take us to the train station and he happily obliged. I would highly recommend Roger and this tour, especially if you are interested in learning about sherry and vermouth.

        Highlight of our trip!
        We had a lovely meal in a super setting. The outstanding food worked so well with tasting the wine. Roger brings wine to life and the choices of wine to taste, talk about and compare were made perfectly. This was a highlight of our trip to Seville and we were a party of six but I can see this working well in slightly larger groups too.

        Day trip to Sherry country
        Day trip to Jerez de la Frontera or simply Jerez, city and municipality in the province of Cádiz in the community of Andalusia, in southwestern Spain, located midway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Cádiz Mountains. Known for its picturesue landscape and more famously the centre of the universe for Sherry! Visited two different wineries with our new friend Roger Davies from A Question of Taste. First stop was Lustau Jerez making a fantastic array of sherries for every taste. While not the largest, very well respected and a wide range of sherries. Fascinating history and over 2000 casks aging in the ”cathedral”. Second stop, a small very high quality producer of sherry and brandies. Fernando de Castella. Knock out brandy and several aged sherries. Roger then took us for a delightful outdoor patio lunch in Central old town Jerez. Wandering around the ancient city, its own Alcazar and Cathedral. If you have a chance to travel in the region, we highly recommend calling Roger to be your guide.

        A Wine Tour of Galicia
        Following an excellent sherry tasting trip to Jerez in 2018 with Roger from A Question of Taste, we decided to do a wine tasting trip to Galicia with him. We have just completed the twice postponed trip (due to Covid) and it exceeded our expectations. We chose Galicia because it was an area of Spain we didn't know and also knew very little about the wines of the region. Roger made all the arrangements for hotels, wine tours, meals and additional attractions. He drove us throughout the region, stopping to see some amazing sights and we stayed in three different towns. Roger met me and three companions late one evening at Santiago de Compostela railway station, the less said about the Spainish railways the better! He took us to our hotel and the next day we started our four day tour. We visited wineries in Rias Baixis, Ribeiro, Ribeira Sacra, Valdeorras and El Bierzo. We visited two or three wineries each day punctuated by lunch in a local restaurant and a periodic visit to a historic site to break up the wine tours. The hotels were very comfortable, including one Parador, and each night we had a delicious evening meal of local cuisine in a different restaurant. At the end of our trip, Roger dropped us at the airport. The highlights were the Ribeira Sacra region where we had a boat trip on the river and saw up close the vines growing on very steep hillsides, and the fact that at most of the wineries we were shown round by and talked to the owner and wine maker, so we were able to discuss the wines and the challenges they face in making the wines. Roger was very knowledgeable about the area and the wines and had an excellent relationship with the producers. The whole trip was very well organised and was one of the best wine tours we have been on. We are now planning a trip to Rioja with Roger.

        Complete Excellent Jamon Tour Experience
        Roger is a great tour guide, host. He has a great relationship with to site hosts which opened up the people interaction; the pig farm is very real, authentic, providing insight; Roger’s knowledge gave us a complete understanding when he toured us through the cure rooms; his lunch restaurant experience selection is perfect - great local Spanish cuisine and people. Chatting with Roger in the drive about Spain, Jamin, and various subjects is great fun; we learned a lot!.

        Great introduction to sherry and tapas
        This was our first evening in Seville and friends had booked a tour with Roger, AQOT. It really was an excellent experience, the four tapas bars we visited were varied and offered a range of dishes from fish to iberico ham and cheeses. The accompanying drinks, sherry and wine came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Roger is a very personable and professional guide, you cannot help but finish your experience as friends.

        Unquestionably great taste, thanks Roger!
        Roger is incredibly knowledgeable about everything to do with wine and food in the Seville area. He's been doing this for over 20 years and still takes evident joy and interest in what he does. We spent an evening with him discovering the tapas bars of the city - all of them charming with typical and terrific tasting tapas. He doesn't just do tapas - his 'thing' is wine and he will be your own personal google about the bodegas and wineries of Spain. I highly recommend him.

        Fantastic tour from a sherry wine guru
        Roger was a fantastic guide. Not only is his knowledge of sherry so vast, he also knows the staff and owners of the places that we visited. This means that he's able to get insider knowledge of everything that's happening. When we visited Lustau, they had a setup that was new and he was able to find out that it was for the single-vineyard process that the winery is starting to experiment on. We tasted different sherry wines, vermut, and a sherry vinegar in Lustau. Really opened our eyes on sherry wines! Palo cortado was our favourite. Fernando de Castilla was the other place that we toured and in there we tasted a brandy as well as different sherry wines, some of which we even got to try straight from the barrel! The lunch that followed was also fantastic. Roger ordered various local specialities and some of our favourites were the garlic clams and fried baby squids. This tour was definitely one of the best ones we've had in our trip and Roger played a key role in it. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking into knowing (and tasting) more about sherry wines!

        A wonderful evening
        We had a wonderful evening with Roger who is an engaging host. He selected some interesting and tasty wines, including some from his personal cellar. The food pairings were well selected and he talked us through each wine knowledgeably (with occasional maps).

      After a recommendation, myself and my Daughter booked a Tapas bar tour with Roger. He was a wonderful host, and took us to bars which we would have been unlikely to frequent. His knowledge and passion were infectious, and he delivered a fantastic experience in Seville. Great food, great wine and great company. Thank you Roger, I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting this wonderful City.
