Description

The wine country of the Madrid region is just a short drive from the city center. The picturesque countryside is home to wineries that blend tradition and innovation. On this full-day tour we’ll visit 3 wineries where you’ll learn about winemaking and the history of wine in this part of Spain. You will visit 3 wineries, with a tasting of 3 wines in each winery, accompanied by appetizers. You will visit a vineyard and taste different varieties of wines: white, red and sparkling. The wineries are located in picturesque towns such as Chinchón or Colmenar de Oreja. One of the wineries is a boutique winery. Another one has centuries-old caves where the wines age, with clay pots. Another winery combines tradition and modernity. You will be able to meet the owners of the wineries and share anecdotes with them. The Madrid region’s wineries have supplied the capital with wine from the time the Castilians conquered the city occupied by the Moors. Winemaking has been carried out for over 900 years on the fertile river bank area where the Manzanares, Tajuña, Jarama, Henares and Tajo rivers meet. You’ll see the clay vats and centennial caves and the vineyards with seemingly endless rows of tempranillo grapes used in making Spain’s full-bodied red wines. You’ll also taste wines at each of the wineries you visit.  South of the Sierra de Guadarrama's granite foothills are the environmentally protected territories where the wine suppliers to the thirsty and growing new capital of the 16th-century Spanish Empire grew their grapes and made their wines. The wines produced here were celebrated in the writings of Cervantes and all the Golden Century writers and painters, and from the Royal Palace to every tavern in the city. The itinerary is an example and varies depending on the day. If it is not possible to visit the wineries described, they will be replaced by other similar ones of equal quality
