January is usually the month of reflections, endless lists of resolutions, and solemn promises.
I could start this blog that way… but the truth is, something has changed.
This year I’ve decided to improvise, to go with the flow, and to enjoy the journey.
It sounds very cool, very on trend—yes.
But above all, it’s honest.
What I really feel like doing is continuing to enjoy what already works: seeing how my travelers discover Salamanca from a different perspective, how they’re surprised when they taste local wines, how they come to understand that Salamanca is also a city for drinking slowly.
Wine experiences in Salamanca: close, original, and soulful—even if that last word may sound overused by now.
The wine tastings in Salamanca are not a masterclass.
They are an experience.
An experience designed for curious people, for those who want to learn without overcomplicating things, for those looking for something different to do in Salamanca.
In every wine tasting experience in Salamanca , we talk about local products, territory, stories, and sensations.
Salamanca wines are tasted without prejudice, questions are asked, laughter flows, and glasses are raised.
Because wine is culture—but it’s also enjoyment.
Small, special-format wine tastings from Salamanca
This year I’m sticking with the same idea: Salamanca wine tastings in small groups, in a close, almost clandestine format (let’s call it that), where no one feels out of place.
These tastings are designed both for people visiting Salamanca and for those who live here and want to rediscover their city through a glass of wine.
And 2026 arrives with new things.
Sparkling wines and sake in Salamanca
Alongside wine tastings come new experiences: sparkling wines—because there’s always something to celebrate—and sake, because mixing cultures, flavors, and perspectives fascinates me.
Salamanca is tradition, yes—but also curiosity and openness.
And that’s reflected in Lavetonia’s tastings.
Wine tastings in Salamanca for travelers and lovers of the good life
Many of those who come to the tastings are looking for something more than traditional tourism.
They’re looking for an authentic gastronomic experience in Salamanca —something you won’t find in every guide, something that feels real.
The wine tastings in Salamanca for travelers have become a meeting point: people from different places, a glass in hand, and a shared desire to enjoy the city from the inside.
My Salamanca gastro guide: my favorite spots
And speaking of enjoying Salamanca…I’ve uploaded a small gastronomic guide to Salamanca..
It’s not a general guide.
It’s my own personal guide..
A selection of my favorite places to eat and drink in Salamanca: bars, restaurants, and corners where the product, the wine, and the atmosphere make sense.
It’s a guide designed to complement your wine tastings in Salamanca, so you can experience the city the way we do here —without rushing and without falling into the usual spots.
If you’re coming to Salamanca and want authentic recommendations, this guide is a great place to start.
And if you want more—if you’re looking for something more personalized based on your plans or your time,
write to me..
I love recommending.
Birthdays, another trip around the sun, and many glasses ahead.
Also, today is not just any day.
Today, January 6,I’m publishing this blog post—and it’s my birthday 🎂
Another trip around the sun.
That’s why I wanted to share a photo of the girl I once was.
She’s still there: curious, restless, happy to turn one year older and to keep doing what she loves.
This January isn’t about impossible lists.
It’s about improvising.
It’s about enjoying.
It’s about continuing to create wine tastings in Salamanca for foodies who won’t settle for the ordinary.
And if you pass through here—through Salamanca—this year,
I’ll see you with a glass in hand 🍷
