“What can say about Elio food tour other than wow. Honestly this was absolutely fantastic and a must of wanting to experience food and drinks the sevillian local way. The food and drinks were top noch with Elio passionately explaining the food and drinks. Elios knowledge of food and drinks is honestly mind blowing. The tour was fun, engaging and you certainly don’t leave hungry. Elio also then sends recommendations for restaurants, coffee shops, cocktail bars for the remainder of your stay. It was my partners 40th birthday and Elio made him feel very special and shared a cake and candle at the last stop with a happy birthday song. It really was a brilliant few hours and if your thinking of a tour book this. Worth every penny & More. Thanks again Elio, hope to see you soon.xx”
Wine Concierge
A personal advisor for the wines you drink — and the ones you collect. Honest, curated recommendations from a certified wine educator based in Seville.

Drink + invest
two angles
direct to Elio
One person who actually knows wine, on your side.
Choosing a wine is easy when there are six bottles on a list. It becomes a problem when there are six thousand — and a serious one when real money is involved. The Wine Concierge is a quiet, personal service for both moments.
We help you pick the right bottle for tonight, the right case for the year, and — if that's what you want — the right wines to put away for the next decade. No catalogues, no commissions on hidden inventory, no "house favourite" pushed because it has stock to clear.
Two angles, one advisor
For your table
Bottles for tonight's dinner, a birthday, an anniversary, or a case to ship home. Tell us the occasion, the food and the budget — we'll come back with hand-picked suggestions and where to buy them.
- Daily-drinking selections across all price points
- Pairings for a specific menu or dish
- Gift bottles for clients, friends or family
- Cases to take or ship home after your trip
For your cellar
Spanish fine wine has quietly become one of the most interesting collectible categories in Europe. We help you build a small, focused cellar — bottles meant to age, appreciate in value, and one day, be opened on a very good night.
- Investment-grade Spanish and European wines
- Vintage selection, storage and provenance guidance
- Allocations from family producers (Jerez, Rioja, Ribera, Champagne…)
- Honest opinions on what to buy, hold or skip
How it works
- 01
You send a WhatsApp
Tell Elio what you need — a wine for Saturday, a case for the office, or a bottle worth holding for ten years. No form, no inbox black hole.
- 02
A short conversation
We dig into your taste, your budget and the goal (drink, gift, invest). A quick chat is usually all it takes to set the brief right.
- 03
A curated shortlist
You receive a focused selection — typically 3 to 6 bottles — with tasting notes, prices and the why behind every pick. No catalogues, no upsell.
- 04
Buy, ship or store
We help you secure the bottles from the right source, arrange shipping if needed, and advise on storage so the wines actually arrive in shape.
Wine as an investment — quietly serious
A well-chosen cellar of age-worthy wines has historically delivered returns that compare favourably with traditional financial assets — with the small detail that, if the market disappoints, you can drink your portfolio. We focus on bottles with a real track record: top vintages from established producers in Jerez, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Priorat, the Champagne region and a few French and Italian icons. No fads, no NFTs, no hype storage units.

Not a marketplace, not a club, not an app. One person who knows the producers, opens the bottles, and tells you what is actually worth your money — for tonight or for ten years from now.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the Wine Concierge?
A personal advisory service for buying wine. We help you choose bottles — for drinking, for gifting, or as a long-term investment — and point you to the best source to buy them. It is not a tasting; it is a relationship.
Is this only for collectors or also for casual drinkers?
Both. Half of our requests are 'find me the perfect bottle for a dinner', the other half are 'help me build a small cellar I can hold for ten years'. Same care for either.
How much does the service cost?
There is no fixed price list. We tailor each engagement to the brief — a one-off recommendation, a curated case, or ongoing cellar advice. Send a WhatsApp message and we will be transparent about cost before any commitment.
How do I start?
Send Elio a WhatsApp message. Briefly describe what you are looking for (a bottle, a case, a cellar) and your budget. He typically replies the same day.
Can you ship wine internationally?
Yes, in most cases. We work with established merchants who ship within the EU, to the UK, the US and beyond. We will be upfront if a specific country or wine is not feasible.
Do you only recommend Spanish wines?
Spanish wines are our specialty — Jerez, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Priorat, Cava and more. But Elio is also a Champagne Expert (Level 3), so French sparkling and other European wines are very much on the table.
Why buy wine for investment?
A small, well-chosen cellar of age-worthy wines can appreciate meaningfully over 10–20 years — and unlike most investments, you can also drink it. We help you focus on bottles with genuine track record, not hype.
Who is Elio?
Your host and advisor. Elio is a Certified Sherry Educator (D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry), holds the WSET Level 2 Award in Wines (Distinction), the Diploma in DOCa Rioja, is a Cava Educator (D.O. Cava) and a Champagne Expert, Level 3.

“We just finished an incredible evening touring so many delicious places with Elio. From learning about the ways that jamón is made and graded and how sherry is made and all the different varieties of sherry; to touring fantastic local restaurants tasting new and delicious food and flavours. Elio was such a wonderful host for us, welcoming us to Seville. Thank you Elio, your knowledge, passion and kindness it is truly appreciated! Also, when he says come hungry - he means it! 😊”
“My boyfriend and I booked Elio’s tour for our first day in Sevilla, and it was the best decision we could have made! Elio is knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Sevilla. It was an amazing start to our trip and gave us priceless insight into Sevilla’s culture and food scene. He also gave us wonderful recommendations on where to eat even after the food tour, which we followed, and were not disappointed. I highly recommend anyone who is thinking about doing this tour to go ahead and book it. The group was small enough to have the opportunity for more discussion and get to know our fellow travelers, and this was a personal touch that I think you won’t get elsewhere. This tour was an amazing value for the experience we had, please choose to support a Sevilla local like Elio!”
“If I could give this more stars, I absolutely would. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Elio’s attention to detail and genuine passion truly set this experience apart. My husband and I were looking for a small, intimate food tour led by a local, and it exceeded all our expectations. We discovered and sampled incredible food and drinks from places we never would have found on our own. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, making the experience both unique and memorable. Elio went above and beyond after learning we were heading to Portugal next, he kindly shared his personal recommendations, which we greatly appreciated. This tour was an unforgettable experience, and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone to try it, you won’t be disappointed.”
“The Sevilla Tapas Tour was amazing. Highly recommend. Elio was born and raised in Sevilla so he knew the ins and outs of the neighborhoods. He takes to only small, locally owned businesses. The food and drink were all delicious. We went to small spots that were gems that we would have never found on our own. Coming on this tour was hands down one of the best decisions we made in Sevilla.”
“One of the best food tours we've ever done! Elio took us to a variety of locations with delicious selections of local food and beverage, introducing us to some true neighborhood favorites. Loved the small group concept, it made the experience even more enjoyable. He also provided additional recommendations for the rest of our stay; we went to many of these spots and were so happy we did. Book with Elio for an exceptional experience, you won't be disappointed!”
