About this tour
A 12-hour private loop from Madrid that pairs Ribera del Duero's acclaimed reds with Segovia's medieval landmarks. You'll tour a working winery, taste three premium wines alongside regional nibbles, then explore the Roman aqueduct, Gothic cathedral, and fortress-like Alcázar. The drive back offers time to process both the wine knowledge and architectural marvels you've absorbed.
Highlights

- Roman aqueduct—engineering marvel spanning Segovia's centre
- Alcázar fortress with fairy-tale turrets and ramparts
- Gothic Segovia Cathedral with intricate stone detailing
- Guided private transport and commentary throughout
- Free afternoon to lunch independently in Segovia
What to expect
You'll depart Madrid early and drive 90 minutes northeast to Ribera del Duero. At the winery, expect a hands-on walkthrough of fermentation tanks and cellars, followed by a seated tasting comparing three wines with local cheese, charcuterie, or seasonal plates. After roughly two hours here, you'll head to Segovia. Your guide leads you through the old quarter, stopping at the aqueduct's massive stone arches, the cathedral's soaring interior, and the Alcázar's rambling rooms and views. Lunch is self-guided—plenty of restaurants serve cochinillo (suckling pig) and local fare. The return to Madrid takes the late afternoon.
