A fun and informative evening was had by all when my husband and I joined Insider Travel’s Jo Wivell for a Zoom wine tasting. Jo had invited Javier Bohórquez, a Spanish wine producer, to talk about his vineyard and winery Bodegas Bohórquez situated in the Duero. We were a multi national group with some appearing to be wine buffs (my husband and I are more quaffers)! Jo gave an excellent presentation contextualising the wine, the winery and the region which really inspired us to make the trip once the world has opened up again. Javier then took over and guided us through the tasting. We tried two wines : Cardela and the Bohórquez Reserva, which as big fans of Spanish reds we enjoyed very much. Javier talked with pride and passion about the vineyard, the terroir, the winery and the process as well as his journey in the wine industry which was fascinating. His wines are high scoring, highly regarded and not easy to get hold of in the UK – so we felt as though we’d had a real treat. A wonderful relaxed learning experience in lively and informative company with a large glass of full bodied red in hand – thanks Jo we’d love to do it again!

Absolutely loved the virtual wine tour.  The wine was exceptional…terrific to have the story direct from the wine maker.  Overall a lovely ending and great fun.  Can’t wait for the next one!

Great evening spent meeting new friends, hearing about a unique vineyard from a charismatic owner and tasting delicious wine – what could be better?
