Madrid Region Wineries: Guided Tour and Tastings

3. Madrid Region Wineries: Guided Tour and Tastings

The wine country of the Madrid region is just a short drive from the city center. The picturesque countryside is home to wineries that blend tradition and innovation. On this full-day tour we’ll visit 3 wineries where you’ll learn about winemaking and the history of wine in this part of Spain. The Madrid region’s wineries have supplied the capital with wine from the time the Castilians conquered the city occupied by the Moors. Winemaking has been carried out for over 900 years on the fertile river bank area where the Manzanares, Tajuña, Jarama, Henares and Tajo rivers meet. You’ll see the clay vats and centennial caves and the vineyards with seemingly endless rows of tempranillo grapes used in making Spain’s full-bodied red wines. You’ll also taste wines at each of the wineries you visit.  South of the Sierra de Guadarrama's granite foothills are the environmentally protected territories where the wine suppliers to the thirsty and growing new capital of the 16th-century Spanish Empire grew their grapes and made their wines. The wines produced here were celebrated in the writings of Cervantes and all the Golden Century writers and painters, and from the Royal Palace to every tavern in the city.

Amazing experience! The artists are extremely talented and passionate. The hour long show was worth every penny. I had chosen the dinner option. The food was alright. I would suggest going just for the show and get drink at the place if you would like to.

Carlos was a fantastic guide. Great laid back personality and knowledgeable. The food was fantastic. Especially enjoyed the shrimp (Gambia’s) with garlic and chilies. Wine was very nice and fun to learn about the vineyards in Spain.

We had been in Madrid for a few days and we’re getting over exposed to jamón and manchego. This tour opened a whole other aspect of Spanish cuisine. We also learned a great deal about the history of Madrid.

Show was great. Entry with booking via this platform was easy.

Carlos was amazing and the places we went were incredible.
