Oviedo Food Tour with Sidra and Wine Experience Small-Group Walking Tour
Taste the authentic soul of Asturias, one cider pour at a time.
This Oviedo food tour takes small groups through four traditional restaurants in the heart of Asturias, pairing iconic dishes with local cider and wine under the guidance of a knowledgeable local host. It is a genuine culinary journey designed for travelers who want to eat and drink the way residents of Oviedo do every day.
Asturian cuisine is rooted in bold, honest flavors shaped by the region's rugged landscape and Atlantic coastline. Over three hours, guests sample a carefully curated menu that moves from artisan cheese and Iberian charcuterie to slow-cooked fabada and the celebrated cachopo, a breaded veal fillet that remains one of the most debated dishes in northern Spain.
Beyond the table, the route passes through the layered history of Oviedo's Old Town. Stops near the Fontán Market, the Cathedral, the San Pelayo Monastery, and the storied Cider Boulevard reveal how deeply food culture is woven into the city's everyday life and urban identity.
Each restaurant on the itinerary has been selected for its authenticity and its standing among local regulars, not tourist guides. The small-group format keeps conversations natural and gives every participant the chance to ask questions, compare notes, and linger over a well-poured bottle of sidra.

Tour Itinerary
The tour begins in Oviedo's Old Town, where the guide introduces the group to Asturian food culture with a starter spread of local cheeses, quince jelly, Iberian cured meats, and house-made bread, paired with the first pour of wine and sidra.
The walk continues past the Fontán Market, the old fish market in Trascorrales, San Isidoro Church, and City Hall before arriving at the second stop for cod and leek omelette and handmade ham and crab croquettes alongside another round of regional drinks.
Guests arrive at the third restaurant to share the tour's centerpiece plates: the highly regarded cachopo served with fried chips, slow-cooked Asturian fabada with accompaniments, and a marinated northern bonito salad with pickled onion and tomato.
The route ends along the Cider Boulevard near the Cathedral, San Tirso el Real, and the San Pelayo Monastery. The final stop features tortos with ham, scorpion fish pie, and chorizo cooked in sidra, closing the experience with one of Asturias's most traditional combinations.
