★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 328 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $223Our pick

Travel from Madrid with a bilingual guide such as Ismael, Antonio, Cosmin, or Muna to three very different Ribera del Duero wineries. Taste at least three wines at each, enjoy local snacks, explore an underground medieval cellar, and stop for an optional Castilian lunch.

“The wineries we visited with Ismael were all wonderful. From a new small producer to one connected to a large winery. All of the wines were wonderful representations of the region and the wine maker’s passion. We had lunch in a tavern and shared plates. It IS a very long bus ride at each end.”

Leave Madrid at 8:00 am with a private guide and drive to Ribera del Duero for a winery visit, three premium wines, and local snacks. Then explore Segovia’s aqueduct, cathedral, and Alcázar before returning to Madrid. Guides such as Sebastian and Agustín have earned praise for their warm, capable service.

“The guide was lovely and I have no complaints about her, but this trip was not as represented. From the description: 1. Visit two wineries and taste a variety of wines - We only visited 1 winery. The winery itself was fine and the tour was interesting, but it was much farther from Madrid than I thought it would be (more than 2 hours). I expected it would be on the way to Segovia but we ended up spending half of the day driving. 2. Use free time to see the town of Peñafiel at your own pace - Never happened. 3. Comprehensive tour of Segovia, including its famous aqueduct,…”

Spend about two hours at Finca Villacreces with a Spanish or English guide, walking through the vineyard and winery before tasting Pruno and Finca Villacreces wines with cheese, sausage, and bread. Small groups make it easy to ask questions, and guides such as Silvia, Elsa, Elisa, and Álvaro have led particularly engaging visits.

“The treatment was lovely, the technical explanations of the process of elaboration and cultivation of the vineyard exhaustive but without exceeding, the winery very cared for, we appreciate the affection and the effort to obtain a quality product with sustainable means. The farm is a beautiful and the pine forests an ecological singularity that are the icing on the cake. Congratulations to the team responsibleAuto-translated”

The drive was scenic, informative, and well laid out with rest moments too.”
