What to expect
You'll be collected and driven into the Sierra de Salamanca region, where the day splits between vineyard time and village exploration. At the first winery, you'll walk among the terraced vines while your host explains how altitude and soil shape the grapes, then taste reds and whites there. You'll pause for tapas of cured ham paired with wine. After exploring a second village, you'll visit another winery for more tastings. Lunch follows at a fine local restaurant — typically chargrilled meats and fish with regional wine — before you return by early evening.
