A Dutch sommelier shows you the wonders of Valencian wines!

Valencia Wine Consulting & Tours was founded by sommelier Johan de Smedt, who is originally from the Netherlands. He’s a social anthropologist with many years of experience in humanitarian work in Africa, with organisations like Médecins sans Frontières and Oxfam.

Johan has been living in Valencia since 2008, and did his sommelier training in Valencia. He specialises in Valencian wines, and has visited most of the Valencian wineries, to taste their wines. 

Valencia used to be a bulk wine producer, but nowadays, the region produces top wines, often made with local grapes, like the Bobal, Forcalla, or the Verdil grapes. Valencia produces mostly red wines, but also outstanding white wines and Cava. These could be conventional wines, but also organic, biodynamic or natural wines.

After the sommelier training Johan ventured into tourism, doing wine tours and tastings for local agencies. In 2016 he decided to set up his own agency, and do everything himself. Apart from the wine tours and tastings, he also organises all sorts of city tours, and specialises in wheelchair accessible tours in the city and the region.

With Valencia Wine Consulting & Tours you can make your wine experience in Valencia a memorable one!
