Itinerary
Arrive at Jamón Experience near Sagrada Familia
Meet your Jamón Master at Passatge Simó 26, just steps from Barcelona's iconic Sagrada Familia. Step into a tasting room designed for this exact experience, where cured hams hang overhead and the scent of aged Ibérico fills the air.
Taste your first jamón varieties with expert guidance
Begin with Paleta Gran Reserva and 50% Ibérico Cebo, learning how factors like breed, diet, and aging time shape flavor. Your Jamón Master slices each variety by hand, explaining the marbling, texture, and aroma that define quality Spanish ham.
Discover mid-tier Ibérico hams paired with Spanish wine
Progress to 50% Ibérico Campo and 50% Ibérico Bellota, tasting the difference acorn-fed pigs make. Each slice is paired with a carefully chosen Spanish wine that highlights the nutty, earthy notes, as your guide demonstrates proper pairing techniques.
Sample premium Bellota varieties with cava
Move into the top tier with cubes and slices of 50% Ibérico Bellota paired with sparkling cava. Your Jamón Master reveals how bubbles cleanse your palate between bites, allowing you to appreciate subtle flavor shifts across cuts and curing styles.
Master the art of pairing jamón with wine and cava
Put your new skills to the test as your guide walks you through pairing principles. Learn which wines amplify sweetness, which cava complements fat content, and how temperature affects taste, all while enjoying breadsticks between tastings.
