Description

Enjoy a tasting of Valencian vermouth while taking a boat ride on the Albufera, Spain's largest freshwater lake.

When you arrive in the village of El Palmar, a former fishing village just a few kilometers from the city of Valencia, we'll be waiting for you at the jetty of 'Rosa la Barquera y Tonet'.

From there, we'll board the typical traditional boat and head to the spot chosen for that day depending on the weather. We'll drop anchor and start the vermouth tasting.

In the meantime, the boatman or boatwoman will tell you about the history of the village and its traditions, and they'll give you information about the flora and fauna of the natural park. Once we've stopped, we'll serve the vermouths. We'll talk about the history of vermouth in Spain and specifically in the Valencian Community, about the wineries and the production process, and about the different botanicals used in each one. All of this accompanied by an appetizer (tapas)

A unique experience that combines leisure, gastronomy, and scenery.
