About this tour
A full-day wine tour of Ribera del Duero's acclaimed Tempranillo region, departing from Madrid hotels. You'll visit two wineries chosen to match your knowledge level—whether that's modern cellars, family producers, or historic estates—and taste three wines at each stop. Lunch at a local restaurant (self-paid, around €45) breaks up the day, though you can skip it and return earlier if you prefer. Groups capped at 8 guests keep things intimate and flexible.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Madrid hotel in the morning and driven to Ribera del Duero in an air-conditioned vehicle (roughly an hour). At the first winery, a guide leads you through the cellar and walks you through three wines, explaining what makes the region distinctive. You'll have time to ask questions and explore at a relaxed pace.
Afterwards, you'll head to a local restaurant for a self-paid lunch break—regional dishes and lighter options are available, and you eat at your own pace. In the afternoon, the second winery follows the same format: another guided tasting of three wines, tailored to your level of knowledge. You'll return to Madrid by late afternoon or early evening.
