The richest selection of wines for tasting by the glass.
How to discover the whole variety of flavors of Spanish wines in a single visit to San Sebastian? It's not an easy task, unless you visit El Almacén bar in the heart of San Sebastián's Antiguo neighborhood. There are over 120 wines to try by the glass. You can order a tasting in a separate room or just sit down at the bar and make an order based on your preferences or the bartender's advice. This is a first establishment with such a concept in the city. In one evening you can travel from the north to the south or from the east to the west of Spain: appreciate wines with a slight mineral tinge made from grapes grown on the volcanic soil of the Canaries, enjoy the oceanic flavor of Basque chacoli (txakoli) and taste Mediterranean varieties from hot Andalusia. Choose your route - from albariño to cava, from listan negro to paraded, from Rioja to Somontano. You won't be bored, that's for sure. You can even visit neighboring countries because El Almacen also offers wines from France and Italy. And to make sure your journey doesn't end in oblivion, accompany it with snacks from the bar. On the one hand, they are simple enough not to draw attention away from the wine, but on the other hand, they can be a gastronomic surprise. Who would turn down rice with black trompette mushrooms, a pan bao with pan-seared brisket, or a delicious steak tartare. This is exactly the kind of gastro-enological adventure that you were searching for in San Sebastián.
