Your Itinerary

Ribera del Duero

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.

Excellent guide with great stories and food recommendations! Ignacio even made a few extra stops to show us some great views and interesting things like an ancient wine press machine and a giant oven for roasting lamb. Very engaging and informative tour, and my whole family enjoyed it!

Ignacio gives you a peek into the glamourous world that is wine in the Ribera region. Within the first few minutes you can tell he is a man deeply passionate about wine and the people who produce it. A man with a deep understanding and appreciation of wine. He strives to give you a truly unforgetable experience. Words simply aren't enough to explain the journey he will take you on because he will leave you wordless at every stop. Could not recommend more. Ignacio te muestra el glamuroso mundo del vino en la Ribera. En los primeros minutos se nota que es un hombre profundamente apasionado por el vino y las personas que lo producen. Un hombre con un profundo conocimiento y aprecio por el vino. Se esfuerza por brindarte una experiencia verdaderamente inolvidable. Las palabras simplemente no son suficientes para explicar el viaje que te llevará porque te dejará sin palabras en cada parada. No podría recomendar más.

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the outing to Ribera del Duero. Ignacio picked us up early and he started sharing the history of Madrid and onwards on the wine making and different styles between RDD and Rioja. We visited 2 vineyards ie Bodegas Valsotillo and Bodegas El Lagar de Isilla, and had lunch at the El Lagar restaurant. Firstly the wines at both bodegas were lovely, and they gave generous tasting pours. Lunch at the restaurant was excellent! Do order the lamb cutlets as it just melts off the bone. My friends still talk about the best lamb dish they had in this trip. Ignacio made the trip very engaging and he was very knowledgeable on the history and wine making techniques. Would highly recommend this trip to others.

It provided an in-depth exploration of the entire wine-making journey, starting from grape harvesting and meticulous selection, progressing through filtering and fermentation, to the wine barrel resting period, and concluding with the bottling process—all accompanied by insightful and detailed explanations. The experience included a delightful tasting session featuring seven or eight exceptional red and white wines. The tour guide,Ignacio, was exceptionally fluent in English, offering a comprehensive overview of the rich history of Spain and its intricate connection to the world of wine. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour guide for an enriching and enjoyable winery experience.

We were a party of four and we were fortunate to be the only ones with Ignacio. This was the highlight of our one week stay in Madrid. We travelled comfortably in a nice van up to the Ribera del Duero wine country. Ignacio was entertaining and educational sharing Spanish history and the history of the wine in the area. We visited 2 wineries with different methods and approaches to wine making and learned SO much. We also had a delightful lunch in Aranda de Duero with authentic cuisine where we sampled and shared various dishes. It was a long and lovely day and adventure. I highly recommend this tour. Ignacio is a delight. He's kind, competent, and thoughtful.

Lisa was the best. She took her time with us, showed us everything we needed to see. Recommended us in every situation when we needed advise. And most importantly, she went out of her way to consistently make sure we were having a great time and if we needed anything at all. First class service throughout. I would recommend this tour to everyone I know. Especially if you enjoy a tour guide who loves what she does and will make you feel the same.

Oh my gosh, what a treat. So much information and a lovely guide Ignacio who made us feel so comfortable on the drive and gave so many stories and understood the terroir and wine history that it came alive. We booked this based on other travellers reviews and just so happy to have done so. The lamb in the restaurant was Devine and felt so looked after throughout the day. Would recommend in a heartbeat. Rob and Jane Jones…….thank you Ignacio xx

Honestly I think this is one of the best guided tours I’ve ever had. Ignacio was extremely professional and so knowledgeable. I think what made it so good was that you can see the passion that Ignacio has for great wine, great food, history, and passion and love for his country. Definitely recommend using him and his company for a tour!

JoseL_E

What a wonderful tour to Ribera del Duero. Our favorite wines are from this region. Our guide Ignacio was very knowledgeable of the history of the Bodegas we visited. Truly a great experience!

Excellent guide with a very memorable experience at 2 wineries. We also had a spur of the moment visit to Castillo de Curiel with magnificent views, beautiful chapel and rooms. Lunch at an old water mill with authentic cuisine. Highly recommended!
