About this tour
Spend 11 hours exploring Ribera del Duero, Spain's premier wine region, on a guided day tour from Madrid. Visit three wineries—spanning medieval estates to contemporary operations—and taste a minimum of nine wines directly with the producers themselves. You'll learn how grapes are grown, harvested, and turned into some of Spain's finest bottles, with tapas served at each stop to keep pace with the tastings.
Highlights
- Nine wines minimum across three different wineries
- Direct conversation with winemakers at each stop
- Medieval to modern cellar architecture explored
- Tapas served at every tasting venue
- English and Spanish bilingual guide included
- Air-conditioned transport from Madrid
What to expect
You'll depart Madrid mid-morning and drive into rolling vineyard country. At each of the three estates, a winemaker or their representative will walk you through three wines, explaining terroir, varietal characteristics, and production methods specific to the region. Food is provided alongside tastings—not fine dining, but enough to pace your drinking. The afternoon includes free time to lunch independently at a traditional Castilian restaurant of your choosing. Cellars stay cool year-round, so bring a jumper. Expect roughly 11 hours total; allow extra travel time to your meeting point.
Good to know
Minimum age 18 for tastings. Children under 12 cannot participate. You must arrange your own transport to the meeting point (taxi recommended over Uber). Add 10–20 minutes to GPS estimates. Hotel pickups aren't included. A minimum of four participants is required; cancellations due to low numbers are rare but possible with one week's notice.
