About this tour

You'll travel through Andalusian hill country past whitewashed pueblos and groves of olives, oranges and almonds. The winery tour covers heritage grape varieties, the science behind altitude and soil effects, barrel-room fermentation, and finishes with a tasting paired with tapas. A guide explains production methods throughout, and air-conditioned transport handles the 90-minute journey each way.

What to expect
Your hotel pickup launches a comfortable 90-minute drive northeast through rolling countryside. Once at Schatz, a multilingual guide leads you into the vineyards, discussing how they've restored forgotten grape varieties and how elevation and terrain shape each parcel's character. You'll move indoors to see the barrel hall—where the aging and fermentation happen—before settling into the tasting room. There you'll sample the wines alongside tapas. The return journey follows the same scenic route. Expect to walk at a gentle pace through vineyards; the tour suits most fitness levels.
