About this tour
A full-day private tour of three Requena wineries combining tastings of 15+ wines—organic reds, rosados and Cavas alongside local Bobal and French varieties—with behind-the-scenes winemaking insight from a professional sommelier and winemaker. You'll taste at small, low-intervention bodegas and larger family estates, pair wines with cured meats and estate olive oil, visit medieval Requena, and enjoy a restaurant lunch with local wine included. Best suited to wine enthusiasts wanting technical depth rather than a casual introduction.

What to expect
Your guide picks you up for the 8–10 hour experience. You'll visit three wineries in sequence, beginning with smaller, minimally-interventionist operations before moving to larger family estates. At each stop, expect guided tastings of carefully selected wines—reds, rosados and Cavas—with technical explanation of grape varieties, terroir and winemaking method. Between tastings, you'll sample paired cured meats, cheeses, olive oil and chocolate to complement the wines. A walk through medieval Requena breaks up the afternoon. You'll finish with a leisurely restaurant lunch that includes local wine, water and coffee. Throughout, your sommelier guide shares insights from both a tasting and production perspective, rather than generic cellar commentary.

Good to know
This suits serious wine drinkers and those wanting technical education over casual sightseeing. It's physically accessible to all fitness levels, though cardiovascular health concerns warrant caution (the itinerary involves multiple winery visits and standing tastings). Tour pacing is set and shared; departing without agreement to visit bars or cafés may result in immediate tour cancellation. Note: tastings include wines poured by your guide—the experience is not unlimited self-service drinking, and any intoxication or disruptive behaviour will end the tour. Inclusions are wine at tastings, paired snacks, lunch, local wine at lunch, parking and a professional guide. Breakfast, bottled water and gratuities are not included. A lunch-optional variant excludes the restaurant meal, letting you choose à la carte or tapas instead.
