About this tour
A two-day private wine tour departing from Madrid into Spain's Ribiera del Duero region, showcasing the area's celebrated Tempranillo wines. You'll visit working wineries, eat regional food, and stay overnight in the heart of wine country. Your guide shapes the itinerary based on your interests, whether that's deeper winery education, village exploration, or simply more tastings. The pace suits all fitness levels, though the region's elevation and wine consumption mean it's not suitable for pregnant travellers or those with cardiac concerns.

- Traditional lechazo and regional dishes at local restaurants
- Overnight accommodation in Ribiera del Duero wine villages
- Flexible itinerary—you help decide what comes next

What to expect
After collecting you from Madrid, you'll head into Ribiera del Duero, arriving at your lodging and settling in. Day one includes at least one winery visit—cellar walk-throughs, barrel rooms, tasting sessions—plus lunch and dinner at places that know how to cook with local ingredients. Day two offers more winery time or alternative stops if you'd prefer exploring villages or markets. You control the rhythm; the guide adapts. Expect moderate walking between parked cars and winery buildings, some stairs, and several hours tasting wine. The journey back to Madrid happens at a leisurely pace, with a final bar stop if your group wants it.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes and sun protection. The region sits at elevation; pace yourself with food and water between tastings. You'll be driving between locations, so designate a non-tasting participant or arrange a driver if needed. Refunds or rescheduling may apply if pregnancy or health concerns emerge; discuss with operators beforehand.
