Mid-Oct Madrid and Surrounds - Solo - Focus on Food, Agri-tourism, the fall harvest, etc.

I will be traveling to Spain for 14 or 15 days mid-Oct. Madrid (one week +/-) and Northern Spain (perhaps). Solo traveling at 59. It is my second trip to Spain. I've been to Madrid, Toledo, Barcelona, and Andalusia.

This trip, I want to take it slow, and focus on food (tours and cooking classes), famers markets, leisurely day trips (Segovia), and, perhaps a week-long road/train trip to northern Spain... again, focusing on food (not necessarily high-end) and agriculture/scenery.

1) recommendations on great cooking classes
2) recommendation on great food tours
3) any agri-tourism suggestions
4) I enjoy wine, but would visit vineyards, etc. mainly to be outdoors in the fall.

Thanks

Look upDevour Tours for food tours in Madrid. And check out the founder’s YouTube channel for loads of good Spanish content with a heave food focus—it’s under Spain Revealed.

Thanks for the recommendation. Looking at their website and tours makes me gain weight. Glad I'll be doing a lot of walking!

I have to second Devour Tours. I took one of their tours in Madrid several years ago and had a fantastic time. They don't offer the particular one that I took any longer, but I'm sure any of the tours would be worthwhile.
