Spend the day exploring with us in depth the Ribera del Duero Denomination of Origin, visiting two of the region's leading wineries. Discover the versatility of the Tempranillo grape variety and a region that, in just a few years, has become the Spanish vanguard of international wine.

Throughout the day, as you explore the beautiful countryside, you’ll visit two wineries that showcase the region’s diversity, tasting different styles of wines made primarily from Tempranillo grapes. You’ll have the opportunity to meet with winemakers and owners and tour their underground cellars, where some of Spain’s finest wines are aging under ideal conditions.

We will start the day visiting a modern winery with an avant-garde building that integrates functionality, beauty and integration into the territory. During the tour of its facilities we will learn about the cultivation of grapes in a climate as extreme as that of the Ribera, winemaking techniques and aging times. We will finish the tour with a tasting of American and French barrels in the subway cellar and then go up to the wine bar to taste three of their best wines surrounded by old vineyards that surround the winery.

Next, we will visit a family-owned winery that has been a driving force behind the Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin and owns the largest underground cellar still in operation in the entire region. The owners will guide us on this fascinating tour deep underground, where more than a thousand barrels house some of Spain’s finest wines. This winery dates back to the 16th century and is considered one of Spain’s “cathedrals of wine.”

We'll enjoy an excellent meal in a cozy and intimate setting. We can tailor the selection of dishes to your preferences and dietary restrictions.

Note: this itinerary could be subject to change according to the availability of the wineries, the client's preferences and the season of the year. Please do not hesitate to ask us for a quote if you would like to visit a particular winery that may not be included in our regular tour. We will be happy to try to adapt the tour to your wishes.
