Art & Wine. Madrid Tour

Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza and the famous Mercado de San Miguel have joined forces to create a unique experience for residents and visitors to the capital: Art & Wine. Madrid Tour. This project combines art and gastronomy: paintings by old masters coexist with the aromas of Spanish wines, turning a regular museum visit into a sensory journey through flavours and eras.

Visitors can choose between two itineraries. The first is for those who wish to enjoy art at their own pace: a walk through the museum’s rooms with an audio guide will tell them how wine inspired artists from different periods. This is followed by a tasting of three exquisite wines at the legendary Mercado de San Miguel. By scanning the QR code, visitors can learn the story of each drink, its characteristics and the sommelier’s advice on the perfect food pairing.

The second option is for lovers of exclusive experiences. Participants can visit the museum before it opens, accompanied by a guide, and will then enjoy a private tasting of five wines led by renowned sommeliers María José Huertas and Juanma Galan. The wines will be accompanied by appetisers from the market’s finest food shops.
