About this tour
An 8.5-hour wine tour through Ribera del Duero's lesser-known bodegas, paired with roasted Castilian lamb. You'll visit three distinct wineries with tastings at each, guided by a local expert who sources access through long-standing relationships rather than standard tourist circuits. Private air-conditioned transport is included within the region; pickup outside Ribera del Duero incurs an extra fee.
Highlights
- Three separate wineries, each offering distinct character and wine tastings
- Castilian lamb cooked in a wood oven as the centrepiece meal
- Local expert guide with established connections to family-run producers
- Private air-conditioned transport throughout the Ribera del Duero
- Access to exclusive bodegas not on standard tourist routes
- Suitable for all fitness levels and fully wheelchair accessible
What to expect
You'll be collected from within the Ribera del Duero region and driven to your first winery. Each of the three stops follows a similar pattern: a walk through the bodega, explanation of production methods and history, and a tasting of their wines. Between visits, you'll travel in a climate-controlled vehicle. Lunch centres on slow-roasted lamb cooked in a wood oven, typically served at one of the wineries or a local venue.
The tour balances education with eating and drinking at a pace that lets you absorb detail without rushing. You'll finish by late afternoon, returning to your starting point within the region.

Good to know
This suits wine enthusiasts who want to avoid crowded tourist tastings and prefer talking directly with winemakers or their families. It's also good for anyone curious about traditional Castilian food culture. The experience is accessible — all areas are wheelchair-friendly, pushchairs are welcome, and there are no steep hikes or fitness demands. Note: transport is included only between Aranda del Duero and Peñafiel; pickups from other cities cost extra. The tour runs 8.5 hours, so wear comfortable shoes and plan for a full day. Expect moderate wine consumption across three tastings.
