About this tour
A 10-hour guided tour from Madrid into Spain's Ribera del Duero wine region, visiting 2–3 wineries with tastings at each. You'll travel by air-conditioned vehicle through vineyard landscapes, stopping at medieval towns and a restaurant (meals not included) where wine features throughout the day. The tour pairs wine education with local gastronomy and scenery, rather than focusing on wine alone.
Highlights
- Visit and taste at 2–3 different Ribera del Duero wineries in one day
- Guided by a local professional, typically bilingual in Spanish and English
- Medieval towns and castle visits en route between wineries
- Wine-focused meal at a local restaurant (cost separate)
- Air-conditioned vehicle transport from Madrid and back
- Morning and afternoon winery sessions with structured tastings
- Landscapes and gastronomy woven through the itinerary
What to expect
You'll leave Madrid in an air-conditioned minivan or coach early in the day. Your guide will lead you to the first winery (or two, depending on the day's plan) in the morning for structured tastings and vineyard or cellar tours. Mid-day, you'll stop at a local restaurant in a medieval town—meals are at your own expense, but the guide will recommend options where wine pairs naturally with food. In the afternoon, you'll visit at least one more winery for additional tastings. Between stops, the guide points out landscape features, historic towns, and sometimes a castle. You'll return to Madrid by early evening.
