A seated tasting in a Valletta wine bar in which each Maltese wine is paired with a local farm cheese.
The Taste of Malta Wine and Cheese Experience in Valletta is an evening tasting session held in a wine bar in Valletta, the capital of Malta. It is run by a locally owned Valletta wine bar and sold through Expedia partner sites, and the venue address is provided at booking rather than in the public listing. The format is a seated tasting rather than a walking tour, so there is no route: guests stay in one place and are served a series of Maltese wines, each paired with a local farm cheese.
The focus is on Maltese wine and the island's farm cheeses. Malta has a small but growing wine sector built around both international grapes and native varieties such as Girgentina and Ghirgentina and Gellewza, and the island's cheese tradition is centred on gbejniet, small fresh or aged cheeses made from sheep or goat milk. The listing does not publish the number of wines or cheeses, nor the specific producers, so visitors should expect a guided pairing that introduces the style of each wine and the cheese chosen to match it. The balance is savoury and drink-led, with no dessert course described.
The price starts from EUR 67.60 (about USD 77.74) per person and includes the wines and the paired local farm cheeses. Additional bottles, food beyond the pairings and gratuities are not included. The experience is an evening session, so it suits visitors who want to end a day of sightseeing in Valletta with a relaxed, seated activity. Group size is not stated, and language and any dietary substitutions, such as lactose-free or vegan options, should be confirmed with the booking platform in advance, since the format depends on dairy and wine.
The pace is slow and conversational, which makes it a sit-down alternative to the walking food tours in the capital. Because the location is a wine bar in the old town, the venue is usually reached on foot through Valletta's streets, with limited vehicle access. The experience is offered year-round.
