We had an amazing day visiting three wineries with Enrique as our guide and driver. He was incredibly knowledgeable, super friendly, and made the whole experience fun and easy. He speaks perfect English and Spanish, so everything was smooth and comfortable from start to finish. One of the highlights was that he’s also an olive oil maker and gave us a free tasting of his own olive oil — and wow, it was delicious. We ended up buying some because it was genuinely the best we’ve had. If you’re looking for someone who knows the area, knows wine, and takes great care of his guests, Enrique is the one to book. Highly recommend!
Excellent excursion, you learn a lot about wine country and wine making. Enrique and his team behaved very well with us, they were very attentive. Recommended 💯 to spend a happy day in the Rivera del Duero.
Excellent experience and explanations accompanied by guide and winemaker Enrique. Amazing treatment throughout the tour, vineyards and wines!
This was a great experience visiting this famous wine producing region and having tastings at three wonderful boutique wineries. However, what made this experience exceptional was the tour guide Enrique whose passion for wine and knowledge of the wine industry in Spain was unsurpassed. Enrique is a winery owner himself and his passion for the entire process of wine making is evident as he discusses the process, types of wine, the grapes, the land, and the ins and outs of wine making. You get to meet the owners of several wineries and hear them tell their experience and have tastings with them as well as tours of the vineyard and cellars. A tour that is definitely worthwhile and I highly recommend it. It’s unforgettable and unique, thanks to Enrique.
It is a tour that every person who visits Madrid and is a wine lover should do. Visits several wineries in the Ribera del Duero region. Everyone on each of the visits is extremely friendly and Enrique's detail and attention are key for you to enjoy the day even more. You can not lose this!
A great family experience, from the transportation, the three wineries, the wines, the food and most importantly the pleasant and vast knowledge of Enrique, our host. I recommend it 💯.
We wanted to take a tour of the Ribera del Duero wineries and we contacted Enrique from Wine Tour Madrid and the experience was extraordinary. His selection of three different wineries enriched us with knowledge of the world of wine. He took us from the oldest to the most modern process in wine making. At all times we feel very safe and confident. His knowledge of the wine industry, professionalism and attentiveness was impressive. We feel very satisfied and it is highly recommended.
This trip with Enrique was spectacular. He picked us up at our hotel then gave us lots of fascinating information before we arrived at our first stop. This was an educational experience as we saw the local’s wine cellars plus we were treated to a viewing of an actual wine press that was being restored. We stopped next at Cair and really had a great experience touring with the winery’s hostess prior to our tasting. Next we went to Aster and frankly we could have moved in. What a delightful hostess who presented us with the perfect wines for the day. This place is not to be missed. Lastly we went to lunch at xxx with some nouveau style food that was as pretty and tasty. Enrique was full of information, passion for wine, and great knowledge about the region. He was welcoming, warm, and personable. This is really a great personalized tour that is immensely worth it!!
Excellent day crafted with a mix of traditional and modern Ribera del Duero for us to experience. We visited three wineries with tours at the first two and a wonderful lunch with wine pairing at the third. Qique arranged everything perfectly and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the region and history. Highly recommend!
One of the highlights of our trip! Enrique picked us up at our hotel (which was super convenient) and took us to 3 wineries, from a larger producer to a small family farm. Enrique is a winemaker himself, so he was extremely knowledgeable and just a great, friendly guy. The winemakers knew him, so it was like being taken by a friend. Go!
