This year the Hotel Tapa Tour 2019 has a marked ecological character. Under the slogan "Think global, eat local", the edition celebrates local culinary culture, one which is more respectful of the product and the environment, without sacrificing excellence. During the event all the participating hotels will be offering a wide range of traditional recipes and typical dishes representing Catalan cuisine to be enjoyed as tapas, bite sized samples that will also compete for the awards within the different categories.
The tapas will be paired with wines with Designation of Origin: Las Pisadas (DO La Rioja) or Jean Leon 3055 Chardonnay (DO Penedès), an organic wine.
