This full-day guided tour lasts about 11 hours and departs from Madrid by air-conditioned van or coach. The group visits three wineries in the Ribera del Duero wine region, sampling at least three wines at each location and enjoying snacks at every stop. The tour includes a bilingual local guide who provides detailed explanations about grape growing, harvesting, and wine production in the area. The day begins with pickup in Madrid near hotel Claridge at 9:15 AM, followed by a roughly two-hour drive to Ribera del Duero. The first winery visit near Aranda de Duero covers traditional winemaking and the characteristics of tempranillo grapes. The second winery, located in Sotillo de la Ribera, showcases modern architecture integrated with the vineyards and offers insights into both traditional and contemporary wine production. Lunch is not included, but there is about an hour of free time in Roa to eat at local restaurants that serve Castilian cuisine, from tapas to three-course meals. The final winery is in Curiel de Duero, where the group tours a medieval underground cellar with extensive tunnels used historically for wine preservation. After the last tasting, the tour returns to Madrid, arriving around 8:15 PM at the original meeting point.
