VALENCIA · DRINKING TOURS
Every trip has one free morning too few. These 7 bar walks justify the slot, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes.
Start at Hôme Youth Hostel at 9:45 pm, then follow a guide through several El Carmen bars. You get a shot at each stop, drinking games, and club entry at the end. Groups can be large, so this suits social night owls more than couples seeking a quiet evening.
“It was a good experience. Camilo our guide was good and helpfull. Will recommend it toy friends too thanks”
Start at 9 p.m. in Plaça de la Mare de Déu and follow an English-speaking guide through four old-town bars. You get a welcome shot at each stop, then finish with two hours at Fox Congo, where you can continue clubbing. Sven, Alexandria, and Krisi have received especially warm mentions.
“Sven and Alexandria were the perfect host! They kept a good pace for our group and were very engaged with us all! We visited 4 unique spots all with its own VIBE!”
Meet Felipe at Olhops Craft Beer House in Ruzafa for four Valencian and Spanish craft beers paired with four seasonal tapas from the neighborhood market. Expect clear guidance on beer styles, aromas, brewing, and serving, with samples that may include sours, IPAs, and stouts.
“Fillipe este extraordinar! Ne-a povestit si ne-a explicat foarte clar metodele de fabricație si tipurile de bere, modalitatea de servire si aromele berilor. A fost o seara excelentă!”
At The Art Wine House in Valencia, you will paint a canvas with fluorescent colors under neon lights, guided by a professional such as Carmen. No art experience is needed, materials are supplied, and unlimited wine and water are included during this two-hour social activity.
“The place has a very good reputation and the assistant was very nice. And the wine was very good too.”
Join QED Pub Quiz in Valencia for a 2.5-hour English trivia night held twice weekly at changing venues. Bring up to five teammates or get matched with others, then tackle four rounds, enjoy optional street food and drinks, and compete for prizes.
“Super fun night with a real buzz between all the quiz teams (about 15 teams in total). The four rounds of questions were pitched at just the right level. The theme varies each week, this time it was film, photography and TV with a general knowledge round. Lots of prizes and giveaways, plus the quizmaster made sure all teams got a mention and round of applause. Perfect way to start the week.”
Meet your captain at Marina Real Juan Carlos I for a private 1 to 1.5-hour pedal boat ride. You get three drinks, music, sofas, 12 pedal seats, coastal views, and a chance to swim. English, French, and Spanish are available, and guide Erik may captain your outing.
“Was a lot of fun, good value for money. We were allowed to swim which was cool, Erik was a very accommodating tour guide, allowed us to play our own music”
Join Pablo, a local beer guide with more than 10 years in the trade, for a three-hour walk through Ruzafa. You’ll visit four craft beer venues, taste four half-pints, pair each with a tapa, and finish back at the starting shop.
“The tour was great! Very interesting to taste the different kind of beers, and see the different pubs. Pablo informed us very well about the beers, and also took the time to give us some more recommendations in the area. :)”
Pick a riverbed, a market or a boat.
