Also, we have just put our tours in TripAdvisor, Vintage Spain Day Tour. We will apprecite if anybody who has been in our tours can post a review. Let us know. Thanks
We propose different wine and
food related activities for your time in Madrid:
the capital right in the center of Spain, a true Spanish/cosmopolitan city, a city welcoming to everybody and a city we love and where we have a wonderful gourmet offer. And we present a new website specialized only in Gourmet Activities in Madrid, www.gourmetmadrid.com
Our wineries and hotels are of course in the countryside, inviting you to visit the other Spain, the real one, the one you can only see when you get rural, away from touristy places, and wine is the perfect excuse. Wineries Silvano García in Jumilla and Cavas Nadal in Penedes. And hotels in the countryside in the classical wine regions of Spain: a winery hotel in Ribera del Duero: Torremilanos and a villa in Rioja: Condes de Rodezno.
