Description

Located just two hours north of Madrid, Ribera del Duero is known for its powerful, structured red wines made primarily from Tempranillo grapes. The region features extreme climate conditions with scorching summers and freezing winters, high-altitude vineyards, and old vines rooted in limestone and clay soils.

This tour offers visits to three wineries selected to represent different aspects of Ribera del Duero: a small family-owned estate with hands-on winemaking, a contemporary winery focusing on precision and innovation, and a historic estate exemplifying Ribera’s classic style. Each visit provides a unique perspective on the region.

Between tastings, the group stops in a traditional village for a Castilian lunch featuring slow-roasted lechazo (suckling lamb) prepared in a wood-fired oven at a local asador. Alternative lunch options are available upon request.

The tour is designed for deep exploration rather than rushed visits, guided by a sommelier fluent in English and Spanish who explains both the technical details and cultural background of the wines and region.

Groups are kept small with up to 8 participants from 2 separate groups, ensuring a comfortable experience with convenient hotel pickup and drop-off in Madrid.
