Benitatxell's tourism office runs this as five separate evenings spread across the summer, each one handed over to a different local maker. You start on 19 June with muscatel from BioMoscatell, the area's sweet-wine speciality, and that first session is free. After that it's craft beer from Cervezas Althaia in July, then carob sweets, village honey, and a final evening of wine and traditional bits from Melicatessen in August. Three euros a head, which barely covers the glass in your hand.

The catch is the sign-up. Each tasting opens for booking only after the previous one finishes, so you can't grab the whole series at once. You fill in a form online, transfer the three euros to a Spanish bank account within 48 hours, then email proof. One person can book for the whole family. Small, low-key, and properly local rather than put on for visitors.
