We have selected a variety of wineries, long-established, traditional, modern, and ecological ones, to give you a good knowledge of the wine of the region. All the visits to bodegas include wine tasting or cata. Wine and food are both protagonists in our gourmet meals.

These tours are designed to give you a good idea of each region.

The duration of the tour is very flexible, we have scheduled tours from two days to a week, and the groups can be of any size.

Food: Food is a major part of the trip, typical Spanish dishes and the new Spanish cuisine will be enjoyed in both well-known and out of the way restaurants. If the weather is nice, which is often in Spain, a picnic will be perfect, and you won´t leave without trying a real tapas night.

Lodging: All the accommodations are unique and have a special charm. They can be restored historical places, like a former monastery from the 14th century, or a palace from the 18th century, or hotels in wineries. We use a great range of hotels depending on your preferences, from luxurious five star to rural houses, something like a bed and breakfast or a country inn. All rooms have private baths.
