Description

Madrid’s wine region, located a short drive from the city center, features a landscape nourished by the Tagus River. It hosts wineries that blend tradition with innovation and belong to the Denomination of Origin “Vinos de Madrid.” This region has over 900 years of winemaking history and recently gained international recognition for the quality of its wines.

On this tour, you will visit three wineries, including a vineyard, to learn about local winemaking techniques and history. Each winery offers tastings of at least three different wines, paired with appetizers based on traditional local recipes.

The wineries are situated in historic towns like Chinchón and Colmenar de Oreja, which are cultural heritage sites. The region has supplied Madrid with wine since the Castilian conquest, and local winemaking families continue this legacy along the fertile river banks where five rivers converge.

You will also visit centuries-old caves where wines mature, see extensive rows of Tempranillo grapes, and discover a winery still using century-old clay pots for production. The owners, often third or fifth generation winemakers, share personal stories and insights during the tour.

These wines have been celebrated in the works of Cervantes and other Golden Century writers and have been enjoyed from the Royal Palace to Madrid’s taverns. Experience this authentic wine tour that explores the historic lands behind these acclaimed wines.
