About this tour
A 7-hour private wine tour through Ribera del Duero that skips the mainstream circuit in favour of two hand-picked wineries. You'll travel by air-conditioned vehicle with a local wine expert, meet winemakers or their families, and taste wines paired with traditional Castilian tapas sourced from the region. Designed for anyone wanting genuine access to small producers and the culture behind them, rather than tourist-heavy operations.
Highlights

- Direct interaction with winemakers or their families at each stop

- Private air-conditioned transport from your hotel throughout
- Local guide with established relationships across the Ribera del Duero
- Completely wheelchair accessible venues, transport, and surfaces
- Suitable for all fitness levels; infants welcome in prams
What to expect
You'll be picked up from your hotel in Ribera del Duero and travel by private vehicle with your expert guide. At the first winery, you'll meet producers or family members, learn about their wines and methods, and taste their output. After this, you'll move to the second winery for a similar experience—tasting and dialogue with people who actually make the wine. Throughout both stops, you'll eat traditional Castilian tapas paired with local wines unavailable elsewhere. The day wraps up with return transport to your hotel.
