About this tour

What to expect

After collection from central Madrid, you'll head into rolling countryside where vines and olives dominate the landscape. At each winery, the owners or their team walk you through production—how grapes are selected, fermented and matured in oak—then guide you through structured tastings. Between estates, you'll pass through medieval towns worth a quick leg-stretch. The second tasting often feels more relaxed; producers are keen to chat and explain why their wines taste as they do. Expect moderate walking on vineyard grounds and some time standing in tasting rooms. The tour wraps with a slower pace at Chinchón's main plaza, where you'll eat local cured meats and cheeses.
