Spanish Cider (or rather, Basque cider) might be one of Europe’s most underrated drinks. Sagardoa as it’s called in Basque is traditionally enjoyed in a sagardotegi (cider house), where long communal tables, giant barrels, and generous pours are all part of the experience. And yes, there’s technique involved. A few things to know before your first pour: - It’s poured from high above the glass to aerate the cider and bring out its flavor. - It’s meant to be shared. Traditionally, everyone takes turns catching a splash straight from the barrel. - The food matters just as much as the cider. Locals pair cider with things like chargrilled steak, cod omelets, gildas, anchovies, local cheese with quince paste, and plenty of pintxos along the way. Comment “CIDER” for the ultimate San Sebastián guide packed with favorite spots to eat, drink, and experience the city like a local. 🍎 And if you’re ready to taste it all firsthand, join a San Sebastián food tour for pintxos, Basque cider, amazing people and vibes.

If you google “what to do in Barcelona” you’ll be overwhelmed with options. If you’ve never been, here’s a great place to start. 1.

Italy’s drink menu goes way beyond wine and Aperol Spritz. Craft beer is booming all over the country. There are way more kinds of spritz than you think, and also so many cocktails and digestivos you just have to try. So yes, drink the wine, but don’t stop there. And get as adventurous with what you eat as what you drink. Work your way through our regional eating bucket list, city by city. Comment EAT ITALY and we’ll send it over.🍴🍷 PS: Come eat and drink your way through Rome, Florence, Venice, and beyond with us. All tours are available on our website.

Tramezzini were born in 1920s Venice, inspired by British tea sandwiches, and then became a staple of the city. They’re made with soft white bread, crusts off, stuffed generously with fillings like tuna and artichoke or rich, creamy crab. Some bars make around 50 varieties a day! You order at the counter, pair yours with a Spritz, and eat standing up the way Venetians do. DM us the word “VENICE FOOD” and we’ll send you our list of the top 5 bars for the best sandwiches in the city, perfect for a little morning or afternoon pick-me-up as you explore. If you want to go deeper, join us on a food tour, where we explain the ins and outs of eating in Venice: bacari, cicchetti, pasta, spritz, wine and everything in between.

In Lisbon, you’ll often see people eating standing up at the counter, and it has nothing to do with being in a rush. It’s often seen during breakfast in Lisbon, but at snack time too (hora do lanche). For a quick coffee, a pastry, or a mid-afternoon snack, standing is just how it’s done, while sit-down is for lunch and dinner. [Comment BREAKFAST for our list of the best places to eat breakfast in Lisbon, and what to order] It’s a common thing you’ll see in Portugal, and you’ll find the same across Spain and Italy too. Coming to Lisbon? Join us on a food tour and learn how and where the locals eat the best food in the city.

How to eat & drink in Florence 🇮🇹👇 Most tourists walk straight past these spots… ad 📌 Save this for your trip to Florence. This is where locals actually eat and drink in Florence… tiny bars, historic trattorias, and neighbourhood enotecas, sharing simple Tuscan food and glasses of Chianti. If you’re visiting Florence, this is one of the best ways to experience the food culture properly… 👉 How the evening flows: • Antipasti (cured meats, cheeses, focaccia) + Chianti 🍷 • Wine from one of the city’s wine windows • A classic aperitif at a local gem • Fresh pasta • Florentine steak (bistecca alla Fiorentina) 🥩 • Gelato to finish 🍦 We spent the evening on the other side of the river (Oltrarno), which feels like a completely different side of Florence… less polished, more local and full of traditional spots. 🍷 One of the highlights… Florence’s historic wine windows (buchette del vino) – wine was served straight from people’s homes through these tiny windows onto the street… and during the plague they became a contactless way to serve wine 👀 We did a food and wine tour here, led by a local expert, which made it so much easier to discover local spots and know what to actually order. 📍 Florence Food & Wine Tour with @devour_tours Linked in bio to book this experience in Florence. #florencefood #florenceitaly #tuscanyfood #florentinesteak #wheretoeatinflorence

Food tour night one in Florence… not sure that was the move 👀👀 . . . . . . —————————————————————- Ciao! We’re Kelly & Boris. 🥂✨ After years in the Washington, D.C. corporate world, we decided to trade the 30-year mortgage for a new kind of “American Dream”: an apartment we bought on Lago d’Iseo in Northern Italy Lake for less than a U.S. down payment. Now, we’re documenting every high and low of our renovation journey, sharing the honest costs of Italian homeownership, and learning what it truly means to live la dolce vita. Whether you’re here for the dusty restoration updates or looking for tips on how to buy your own slice of Italy ethically, we’re so glad you’re following along on this adventure with us! 🇮🇹🏠
