What to expect
You'll be collected for private transport to a family-run winery where the owner guides the tasting: three wines matched with local tapas, plus four types of regional olive oil to sample. After tasting, you walk the narrow alleys and historic plaza (dating to the 1600s) of a nearby town, getting a feel for the region's architecture and layout.
Then you travel to the Carabaña Water estate. A short guided tour covers its history—including the Civil War period—and its former fame for exporting medicinal mineral waters.
