Meet Valeria from Valencia 

A Different Way to Discover Valencia

My role is not simply to guide visitors through a city or a wine region.

I help travellers discover the identity of Valencia through its history, gastronomy, local traditions and wine culture, always adapting each experience to their interests and curiosity.

Whether we're wandering through the historic centre, exploring the Central Market, visiting artisan workshops, discovering family-owned wineries or sharing a traditional meal, my goal is always the same: to create meaningful conversations that help you connect with the destination.

Because understanding a place always leaves a deeper impression than simply seeing it.

Understanding Valencia Through Wine

Wine is one of the most fascinating ways to understand a territory.

Every vineyard reflects its landscape, every bottle tells the story of the people behind it, and every tasting opens a window onto the history, traditions and gastronomy of the region.

As a Certified Sommelier, WSET Diploma holder and Weinakademiker, I enjoy making wine approachable for every traveller, whether you're taking your first wine tour or already have extensive knowledge.

You don't need previous wine experience—only curiosity.

Professional Expertise & Recognition

My work combines more than 25 years of experience in tourism with over 15 years specializing in wine tourism.

I am an official licensed tourist guide of the Valencian Community, guiding visitors in Spanish, English, German and Mandarin Chinese. Living across different languages and cultures has helped me understand how travellers experience a destination in different ways, allowing me to adapt every tour to the people in front of me.

Beyond guiding, I remain closely connected to the Spanish wine world through founder of BlancoTinto, an online wine shop, where I carefully select wines from family wineries and independent producers. This ongoing work allows me to stay in constant contact with winemakers, new vintages and the evolving wine landscape, bringing that knowledge into every wine experience I lead.

During the pandemic, I also wrote "The Best Bike Tours In and Around Valencia", published on Amazon, with the aim of helping visitors discover the city and its surroundings from a different perspective.

Alongside my professional qualifications, my tasting skills have also been recognized internationally. I was part of the team in the World Blind Tasting Championship Winner (2023), achieved 4th place at the World Blind Tasting Championship in France, and later qualified with my tasting partner for the Vila Viniteca Blind Tasting Competition (2024), one of Spain's most respected wine competitions.
