Xiana Pérez, Founder

Founder

Xiana
Pérez.

After a long international career in technology, Xiana Pérez made a decision that surprised some and made perfect sense to anyone who knew her well: it was time to bring Galicia to the table — her table, and yours.

Food and wine have always been close to an obsession for her, not a hobby. That passion, combined with the organisational instincts sharpened over years of international work and a natural talent for making people feel immediately at home, became the foundation of Galician Food Experience.

Her credentials run deep. She has contributed to Culinary Backstreets, is a member of Culturviño — an association dedicated to supporting and promoting small local producers — and takes an active role in the Club do Produto de Galicia, an initiative that champions the tourism potential of local produce from the Baixo Miño. For Xiana, every experience is personal: a chance to introduce visitors to the Galicia she knows, trusts, and genuinely loves.

Our Team

A team that knows
this land by heart.

Behind every experience stands a small team of collaborators with deep roots in the region — guides, cooks, producers, and hosts who have spent years working across Galicia's kitchens, markets, vineyards, and coastlines. Their first-hand knowledge of the people and places behind each dish is what makes every visit feel less like a tour, and more like an introduction made by a trusted friend.

Guides & Hosts

Local voices who know every market stall, every back road, and every producer worth meeting.

Cooks & Bakers

Hands-on teachers who learned Galician recipes the traditional way — and love passing them on.

Producers & Friends

Winemakers, fishers, and farmers who open their doors and tables to every group we bring.
