You step out into Chueca as late-afternoon light slides across tile facades and the neighborhood hums—street vendors calling, the clink of glasses from a nearby tavern. Your sommelier guide greets the group and leads you through narrow streets to a centuries-old tavern where the first taste is a traditional vermouth, herb-scented and slightly bitter, setting the tone for a sensory game.

Chueca evolved from a 19th-century market district into a cultural hub; vermouth and tapas culture grew from Madrid’s habitual midday and evening social drinking traditions.
