About this tour
This is a short call about vermouth hour in La Latina rather than a walk to any single bar. I talk through which places pour from the barrel and which only claim to, using what I learned working briefly for a small producer. You leave with a shortlist matched to your own timing.
We start with when you plan to go, since not every bar is at its best on every day. I answer questions about the drink itself as well as specific bars along the way. At the end I send over the list with notes on each one.
This suits anyone who wants a proper vermouth hour rather than whichever bar happens to be nearest. It also suits curious drinkers who simply want to understand the tradition better.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider

I talk through which bars in La Latina pour vermouth from the barrel and which only bottle it, drawing on my time working for a small producer. You tell me when you plan to go and I match the list to the day and hour.

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Madrid: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
