VINTAGE SPAIN NEWSLETTER. Wine tasting tours in Spain |
|
|
New
year in wine tourism ...
This
year we are starting with very good perspectives
for wine tourism. Spain is becoming a very
popular destination and Spanish wines are
getting a well deserved recognition outside
our country. THANKS to everybody who
came to Spain! We hope to welcome
more people.
We
have decided to focus more on customized private
tours and have less scheduled tours, although
we still have our Classical
Wines in Rioja and Ribera del Duero
in June. All tours are available upon
request, you can check our web
page.
We
feature Matarromera,
a famous winery in Ribera with lodging and
a restaurant, and a great hotel in Rioja,
Hotel Villa de Laguardia.
Donna
from NYC sent us her wonderful feedback
on the Classical Wines tour we
did together last year, the same one we offer
now in June.
