Ribera del Duero Winery Guided Tour and Wine Tasting from Madrid
Description
Live an unforgettable experience in Ribera del Duero (Considered the best area region of the world in 2012) and enjoy its wines on this 10-hour guided tour from Madrid. You will visit 2 wineries (sometimes 3), and taste different wines. We visit (1/2) wineries in the morning and a second (possibly a third, if we visit 2 in the morning) in the afternoon. We try to show you also on the way what is worth in terms of gastronomy (a very good restaurant)(our clients usually appreciate a lot what and where we eat), landscapes, medieval towns or even a castle if possible. We try to do the activities with a glass of wine if possible. The experience we are proposing is not only wine, but wine is present nearly all the time. And what wines!

Itinerary
Ribera has been considered the best area region of the world by The Wine Expectator in the year 2012. Ribera means “side of the river”. We are going to try to make you have a beautiful day visiting at least 2 wineries (maybe 3 if we are lucky). We will depart from Madrid at 9,30 h and we will arrive to the first winery 2 hours later. From there you will go to have lunch (not included in price of the tour). There are so many restaurants where you can taste the traditional Castilian food. This tour is about wine but we do not forget that there is a beautiful gastronomy on the area. In the afternoon we will visit a second winery, different from the first. We might visit a third winery depending on how fast we arrive to the first winery or the time we spend in the different activities. We will try on the way to the wineries to show as much as we can in order to make you understand that Ribera del Duero is very good wine but also many other things. (Gastronomy, landscapes, maybe a castle, history, underground caves, etc). We are getting payed for this activity but our true prize is that at the end of the tour you are 100 % satisfied. This is our goal. We are happy when we get it. And our experience says that most of our clients are satisfied on how hard we try to make you have a beautiful day. We will leave you at the same place where we started at 20 h.

What a wonderful day we had. Ignacio, our driver and tour guide was very knowledgeable about history and wine making. He made our day very memorable. We visited two wineries and both had excellent wines. The restaurant suggestion was very good too. Thank you for a fantastic day.

Muchas gracias por su comentario. Ya sabe donde nos tiene si vuelve por Madrid. Un abrazo :))))
The tour was great and versatile. We were introduced about Spanish history that was interesting. Especially the lunch restaurant was great experience with excellent food and surprisingly caves. The wineries had quality wines in their tastings. Quick visit for third winery had some nice art and the building had amazing views and architecture.
Thank you so much for your comment. We're glad you enjoyed our tour. We look forward to seeing you again if you come back to Madrid.
Very good wine tour and educational. Guide was very knowledgeable and flexible to our interests and questions.
Thank you very much for your review. We try to adapt to the wishes of our visitors. Un abrazo
The trip to the wine region of Ribera del Duero was a lot of fun. Our tour guide, Ignacios, is very knowledgeable about Spanish wine and history of Spain. With his fluent English, we have learned a lot on the way to the wineries. We stoped by 2 wineries but we particulaly like the fisrt winery(ValSotillo) we visited. The owner gave us a tour to this huge cave with over a thousand barrels of wine in it. It was impressive! The highlight of course is the wine tasting after the tour. We tasted some great bottles of Tempranillo. They were so delicious. It's a small winery and their wines are hard to find in US so we ended up buying some bolltes and have the winery delivered them to home(for a fee). I can't wait to receive in 4 weeks. Overall, this is a well organized tour and is a great getaway for a day outside of Madrid. I am glad we booked this trip.
Thank you very much for your comment. We are here if you come back to Madrid. Un abrazo
What a perfect day in the Ribera del Duero wine region! Ignacio picked us up from Madrid right on time and drove us out to the region. He took us to two wineries, a breathtaking castle, and a fabulous lunch. He was so kind and full of information about the wines and the historical significance of the area. If you're looking for a day trip from Madrid, don't look any further. This one is the best! Thank you Ignacio for such a great experience!
Thank you very much for your comment. We do what we can so that you have an extraordinary experience. And we are lucky to meet people of your human quality. I hope to see you in the future. Un abrazo. :)))
My husband and I have taken several winery tours around the world and this tour was by far the best either of us has experienced. More than just wine tasting, the tour provides insight into the process for a few wineries having different business approaches. Adding to the wine experience is the beautiful scenery and fantastic meal. Ignacio is a wonderful guide and goes the extra mile to provide a great experience. We highly recommend this tour.
Thank you very much for your comment. We feel very honored by the evaluation you make of our tour. It is for us an additional prize that we greatly appreciate. You know where we are if you ever come back to Madrid. Un abrazo.
We had a fantastic day on this tour! Our guide Ignacio was full of passion for both Spain and wine. He kept us constantly entertained with his funny stories full of Spanish history and facts. A visit to a great winery, a fantastic lunch, and time to enjoy beautiful Segovia were all made even better by having such a warm, friendly and passionate guide who did everything possible to make sure we had a great experience. We highly recommend booking with winebus.
Thank you very much for your comment. I know that even though you come from far away, you will return at some other time. Here we are, we are waiting for this to happen. Un abrazo a los dos.
