You'll start at your first winery, where a local wine expert introduces the region's history, terroir, and native grape varieties. Over the day you'll visit multiple producers: traditional ones focusing on heritage Malaga wines made with sun-dried grapes, and modern operations experimenting with sparkling and still wines. At each stop you'll taste 3–4 wines. The expert will walk you through production methods, from ancestral to contemporary approaches. Midday you'll break for a gourmet lunch in the vineyards.
