While randomly walking through Segovia, my friend and I ran across this museum. For 3 euros, you…read morecan tour the museum and do a food tasting of cheese, wine, and iberian ham. The museum isn't that big and has 3 major sections. There are translations in English, so you can find out what is going on. They have information about some of their spirits industry, wheat, and food. Afterwards, you watch a short video about Segovia, then do the tasting. To me, the most charming thing about the museum is the owner. He is super nice and answers all of your questions about Segovia or just food in general. Caveat though, the owner speaks mainly Spanish, so you will get the most out of your experience conversing in Spanish rather than English.

This food museum was next to our hotel so immediately after checking in, we checked out this…read moremuseum. The museum itself is quite small, and features a few old items but it has a lot of interesting information regarding the history of food in Segovia printed on colourful displays on the walls in both Spanish and English. I have the feeling that the Spanish version is a tad more comprehensive, but nevertheless, you get a real sense of the scope of food production, tradition and importance that is held in this little walled city - both for the city itself, as well as for the rest of Spain. If you pay 5 Euro, following your walk around the museum (you'll need no more than an hour), you are treated to a tasting of local cheeses, bread, meats and a "sweet treat". I won't spoil what that is, but we did pick up a box of these to eat later! The staff are supremely helpful and informative. And whilst their English isn't great, and my Spanish is basically non-existent - we made do just fine.The foyer also sells a range of local dairy products, meats, wine and beers. We took away a few Segovian beers to drink on our hotel's terrace and they went down a treat!
