ARTALE FOOD & WINE TRIP TO SPAIN


October 3rd -11th 2024


Ralph Velasco is a Rockford resident who has been organizing and leading tours around the world for more than 15 years (and his trips are all 5-star rated). He has a more than 50 percent client repeat rate and group sizes range from just 6 - 10 participants maximum. 


Rest assured that the main focus of these incredible trips is the food, wine, spirits, and other historical and natural highlights of each of the places he visits, as is meeting the locals and being immersed in the authentic culture.


Accommodations are in unique properties such as a private 11th-century castle in France's Dordogne; a former private family villa in the Spanish hilltown of Laguardia in the Rioja region; and/or a gorgeous wine estate in the Douro Valley or boutique hotel in the center of Porto, Portugal.

NEW MEZCAL

Fidencio Mezcal was started by 4th generation Maestro Enrique Jiménez in 2007 using generations of family knowledge and only estate grown Espadín and responsibly sourced wild agave. Named in honor of Enrique’s great grandfather, Fidencio Mezcal embodies the classic spirit and deep-seated traditions of the family's lineage which continues in this family owned and run palenque. 


Ensamble

$109.99

Equal parts Espadin, Madrecuixe, and Tepextate varietals, fermented in open pine vats, and aged 3 years in the bottle.



Tobala

$119.99

Tobalá, is a tiny agave that possesses a bold and vibrant character. With high levels of saponins and terpenes they produce very complex mezcals. Harvesting requires extra care as the raw agave can irritate even the most seasoned skin. Handcrafted by Enrique, these mezcals often exhibit intense aromatics with bright fruit and minerals.

Aroma: Bright fruit, light smoke and minerals

Taste: intense and complex mix of fruits and minerals with a long briny finish

Texture: bright acidity, unctuous mouthfeel



Tepextate

$119.99

Tepextate is a large agave that can take up to 30 years to mature. Mezcals crafted from this agave variety are known for their bold character with herbal notes and robust spice. The amount of time spent in the ground produces a mezcal that is incredibly expressive of terroir.

Aroma: jalapeño, berries and spice

Taste: edamame, cherries, blackberries, spice

Texture: bold and spicy

La Croix Belle

It has persistence on the palate, with a great deal of finesse and mineral character.

The historic wine-producing district of Alicante is one of Spain’s chief heartlands for Monastrell vines– many of them venerably old and trained en vaso, or as bushvines. While the area is traditionally known for sweet, oxidative wines, Bajel Pirata is a perfect encapsulation of the modern side of its sunny Mediterranean essence: pure, fresh, juicy unoaked Monastrell from old vines that thrive in the hot, dry conditions.

An incredible value!
