About this experience
Passport to Spain, a hands-on indoor food adventure! You’ll receive a paper passport to guide you through five delicious tasting stations. All products are imported from Spain or Italy. This is a hands-on experience for food lovers!
Start by pairing fresh fruits with over ten authentic balsamics—like cherry, blueberry, and red apple—then craft your own sparkling White Balsamic Refresher, a light and bubbly drink that’s as refreshing as it is fun to make. Next, savor warm, freshly made pasta and season it with infused salts, before moving on to toasted bread paired with flavorful pestos and extra virgin olive oil imported directly from Spain.
Top your locally made ice cream and brownies with chocolate, espresso, dark balsamic, or golden honey. Available year-round, this interactive food experience is perfect for travelers, locals, and private groups alike. Looking for the perfect present? Gift cards are available. Happy to accommodate allergies and dietary needs.
