In 'Lavinia' you'll find not only the perfect bottle of wine, but also an amazing customer service. Due to the current lack of specialised and/or kind (polite) customer service in a lot of establishments, finding employees who are well-trained and seem passionate about their jobs, is something that you will notice once you get into the establishment. As you all know, 'wine-pairing' (knowing how to pair the right wine with the right dish) is a science which, if you don't know anything about, don't worry because the staff of Lavinia will gladly advise you.

He only has naturally vivified wine and took the time to explain the difference. We had a lovely Spanish Cava and he offered a delicious taste of cheese and some bread. It's tiny, situated in an off the beaten track, diverse neighbourhood. An undiscovered gem which I know will change. We loved the quirkiness of this place and would highly recommend it.

After my hunt in Barcelona and Madrid, I'm so glad that I found El Txoko the only place that I was able to find blue wine. Now buy a bottle and get some feedbacks like "Omg you found it, can you get me a bottle?" "How does it taste, does it turn your tongue blue? Now I want to go!" "I'm so jealous you got a bottle, man you're so cool" Aside from these praises, you also get a lot of thumbs up when posting on social media. Valentin is such a charm and very knowledgeable to talk too as well. Don't forget to try their exotic ice cream flavors!

To name a few.... -poppyseed/honey -mojito (amazing- like a frozen mojito) -coco -pure poppyseed -green apple -vanilla (surprisingly not always easy to find here) The lady working the counter was cracking jokes, offered samples, and truly seemed like she enjoyed having customers. Great experience! They also serve tapas and have a part of the place that acts as a store (you can buy artisanal wines, cheeses, olive oils... good for gifts).

5 Stars for a wonderful vermouth tasting!…read more While planning a family trip to Spain I made sure to look for tasting experiences in each city. In Madrid, I found a guided Vermouth tasting (through Airbnb Experiences) at Madrid & Darracot. It's priced at 20 Euro per person (Fridays and Saturdays) and also available for booking directly through their website. We initially had a tough time finding the shop as it had recently moved locations just up the street, but once we did we had a great time! Our guide was Irish (if I recall) and Spanish, so he was able to do the tasting in English, but also answer questions from my parents in Spanish. He took us through four very distinct Vermouths and helped us get an understanding of the importance of this drink in the country. It was informative, fun, and we got recommendations for the rest of our stay. We of course grabbed a couple of bottles for the evening and we're really impressed by not only their wine and vermouth collection, but also their spirits (including bourbon). Overall, I would highly recommend booking a tasting while in Madrid!
