Marbella Gastronomy & Tapas: Private Food & Wine Tour

Taste your way through Marbella's vibrant culinary scene on a private, expert-led food and wine journey — from market stalls piled with Andalusian produce to family-run tapas bars and boutique wine pours of local Málaga Moscatel. A feast for every sense.

What to expect

Begin at Marbella's bustling Mercado de Marbella, where your guide introduces you to the vendors who supply the town's top chefs — tasting cured Andalusian olives, aged manchego, and freshly fried churros straight from the fryer. Move through the Old Town's narrow lanes to a sequence of carefully chosen tapas bars, each representing a different facet of southern Spanish cuisine: gazpacho, boquerones en vinagre, slow-braised rabo de toro. Each stop is paired with a well-chosen local wine or Manzanilla sherry. Your guide weaves in social history and culinary tradition throughout, making the food deeply meaningful as well as delicious.

Good to know

Tours run best 11:00–15:00 when markets are at their liveliest; confirm timing with your guide relative to your ship's all-aboard. Inform the operator of any dietary requirements when booking — they will adapt every stop. Puerto Banús to Marbella Old Town is a 10-minute taxi ride (approx. EUR 10–15); your guide can advise on the smoothest logistics from the marina.
