About this tour
A 9-hour private tour from Madrid into Spain's Ribera del Duero wine region, visiting three handpicked wineries with tastings at each stop. Your local guide draws on years of relationships with producers to access family-run operations and lesser-known estates you'd struggle to find alone. The day culminates in roasted Castilian lamb cooked in a wood oven, paired with regional wines. Hotel pickup and air-conditioned transport included.
Highlights
- Three distinct wineries, each offering individual tastings with winemakers
- Wood-fired Castilian lamb—the region's signature dish
- Skip the tourist circuit; visit genuine family operations instead
- Local expert guide with established producer connections
- Private transport and Madrid hotel collection included
What to expect
You'll be collected from your Madrid hotel in the morning and driven to Ribera del Duero in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Your guide will steer you toward authentic producers rather than the well-trodden path. At each winery, expect to meet owners or winemakers directly, walk the grounds, and taste their output without the hard sell. Lunch features lechazo—young lamb slow-roasted until it falls apart—paired with the day's wines. The return journey to Madrid wraps up around evening.
Good to know
