Spanish Culinary Pilgrimagewith Chef Michelle Weaver

A private VIP meet-and-greet cocktail reception with the group and co-hosts Chef Michelle Weaver and Chef Richard Gruica, setting the stage for the journey. The official tour begins Sunday morning, so please arrive in Barcelona by Saturday, November 7.

A private food tour of La Boqueria, Barcelona's beloved market since the 13th century: jamón ibérico, cheeses, seafood, olives and sweets, with the stories behind them.

A private guided tour follows through the Gothic Quarter and Barceloneta, then time for a siesta. At sunset, an exclusive private nighttime visit to a Gaudí house, followed by a special welcome dinner.

The group splits into two intimate tables, each hosted by Chef Michelle or Chef Richard, for a chef's table at Disfrutar, the #1 restaurant in the world (2024) with three Michelin stars, created by El Bulli alumni Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch and Mateu Casañas.

One group lunches at Disfrutar and the other dines there in the evening. Both visit Montserrat Monastery, the 11th-century Benedictine monastery high above Catalonia, home of La Moreneta.

Into Penedès, one of Europe's oldest wine regions. A private tour and tasting with the winemaker at Raventós i Blanc, birthplace of cava, where the family has farmed the same land for over 21 generations.

Then an artisan cheese aging room for Spanish cheeses with regional wines, a private chocolate tasting, and a gourmet dinner at one of Penedès' most acclaimed wine hotels.

A relaxed morning in Barcelona, then north to Girona, a city of Roman walls, a beautifully preserved Jewish Quarter and Game of Thrones-worthy streets.

Tonight, a private Michelin-starred dinner at the Roca brothers' boutique hilltop hotel, prepared by a team trained under Joan, Josep and Jordi Roca of El Celler de Can Roca, twice named the World's Best Restaurant.

To Roses on the Costa Brava and the hallowed ground of El Bulli, where Ferran and Albert Adrià changed the culinary world. Step inside the El Bulli Foundation, the creative research hub that carries its spirit forward.

A stroll along the Roses waterfront, then back to Girona for a private walking tour. The evening is yours.

A slow start, then back to Barcelona for a private guided tour of La Sagrada Família, Gaudí's masterpiece, and free time in the Eixample.

Check in to our five-star hotel, then the grand finale: dinner at Enigma with Albert Adrià, El Bulli's former pastry chef, a one-Michelin-star restaurant ranked #34 on The World's 50 Best Restaurants in 2025.

A private, behind-the-scenes day with Balfegó in L'Ametlla de Mar, the global gold standard in sustainable bluefin tuna.

See how each fish is tracked from sea to plate, watch master carvers perform a ceremonial tuna breakdown of akami, chutoro and otoro, then sit down to a dedicated bluefin tasting meal, from delicate tartares to rich toro.

Private VIP transfers from the hotel to Barcelona El Prat Airport.
