Ribera del Duero Tour: Three Wineries & Lunch from Madrid

This is Ribera del Duero done properly: three winery visits, three different perspectives, and a day designed to help you really understand Spain’s most famous inland red wine region.

Rather than running the same fixed circuit every time, we select three wineries based on availability and traveller preference, choosing from small artisanal producers through to medium-sized, family-run winery projects; the kinds of places where the wines still feel personal, and the people behind them are genuinely involved in the winemaking.

Across the day, you’ll taste a wide range of Tempranillo-based wines, from vibrant young reds to structured Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva styles. We’ll also aim to include one of Ribera’s most overlooked surprises: aged white wine (Albillo Mayor), including Crianza and - when possible - Gran Reserva. Ribera white has only been officially permitted since 2019, so these aged examples are still relatively rare.

After the first two visits, we stop for a proper Castilian lunch: wood-fired suckling lamb (lechazo), slow roasted in a traditional oven. If you’d prefer something else, we can arrange alternative dishes with advance notice.

The tour includes transport to and from Madrid with hotel pickup and drop-off, and stays intimate with a maximum of 8 guests (from no more than two separate groups) to keep the experience relaxed, personal, and un-rushed.age-worthy reds made from Tempranillo (Tinta Fina).

Led by a WSET-trained sommelier & Spanish Wine Scholar, this tour is perfect for travellers who want to experience Spain’s world-class reds without the stress of planning.
