What to expect
The day starts at a central location and moves between wineries by coach. At each stop, the guide walks you through two or three wines, discussing the grapes, vintage, and flavour profile before you taste. You'll learn how the region's continental climate and chalk-rich soil shape the character of Tempranillo and other local varieties. Around midday, you'll sit down to lunch—cured meats, cheese, bread, and seasonal dishes—with wine poured throughout. The pace is measured; expect to spend 45 minutes to an hour at each estate. By late afternoon, you'll return to the meeting point.
