ABOUT US
EVERY JOURNEY HAS A BEGINNING
Welcome to “Madrid & Darracott”. We are Luke and Roque. After many years devoted to communication about the wine world, we were motivated to create the perfect spot to tell people about the wines we love most and, above all, share them with our friends, neighbours, visitors and all those who want to dip their toes into the wonderful world of wine. Therefore at the end of summer 2018 we opened “Madrid & Darracott”, very close to the Plaza Mayor in the old heart of Madrid.
OUR STORY
The stolen bag
Roque and Luke get in touch through social media. They meet at the San Miguel Market in Madrid and Luke is robbed of his handbag with the apartment keys and his passport. To report the robbery, Roque pretends being Luke at the closest police station. The handbag was never found, but this was the beginning of their friendship.
The red Vespa
Roque and Luke get to work with their TV series “Finding Little Italy” and they shoot the pilot episode in Piemonte, in the north of Italy, where they also discover the wonderful Barolo wines. A few months later, they sell the TV series to several countries and they go around the country filming across several regions.
Wine on air
Roque and Luke start a new podcast series: Spanish Wine Experience. The main idea: to drink a bottle from each designation of origin of Spain. The side idea: to have an excuse to meet for drinking and cooking once a week. The result: They broadened their knowledge about Spanish wine and not being ashamed of getting drunk in front of many people.
