Day 1: Sierra de Francia

The province of Salamanca is only one hour away from the capital city, the small Denomination of Origin Sierra de Salamanca (also known as Sierra de Francia). Declared a Biosphere Reserve, this beautiful place hosts unique wines made from the varieties Rufete, Tempranillo, Palomino, Macabeo, Garnacha among others. A region dotted with small villages of medieval origin and singular beauty. Villages where still today countless families continue to make wine in their traditional home wineries. We will spend the day getting to know the most renowned winemaking projects in the area, some of which have achieved international recognition on a par with any other prestigious wine. We will also visit villages declared historical-artistic sites such as La Alberca, Mogarraz or San Martín del Castañar. A journey through time and space in which you will feel the aromas and culture of a time that in most developed countries has already vanished.

Day 2: Cáceres

The next day we will jump to the beautiful region of Extremadura to visit some of the most unique wineries in what is the second largest wine region in Spain and its only Designation of Origin "Ribera del Guadiana" Our second day will be spent visiting the wonderful town of Hervas where we can walk through its medieval Jewish quarter, taste its extraordinary grilled meats accompanied by local wines. We will finish the day in Cáceres, the beautiful provincial capital where we will spend the night after a walk through the gothic quarter.

Day 3: Ribera del Guadiana

The third day will be dedicated to discovering the impressive region of Ribera del Guadiana. We will visit some of the most prestigious wineries, prominent chateaux surrounded by vineyards that produce wines of marked fruity and spicy flavor, great power but at the same time kindness. Unique wines elaborated in a magical land that historically has been dedicated to the cultivation of vineyards in its infinite plains of reddish mud that have given it the regional name of "Tierra de Barros".
