Traveler reviews
Would recommend
Booked this experience for my partners birthday. Went to 3 great vineyards, all very different in looks and processes. 2/3 catered well for my partners celiac disease. Enrique (driver, host, translator) was great and would highly recommend taking this tour. Wines were great, same area but all very different. Exposure to the cultures of each place and stories behind it all.
Perfect Ribera del Duero experience
A great full day guided tour! We got to see the first days of harvest, taste grapes fresh from the vine and wine straight from the barrel, and see a cute town in the region as well for lunch. The wine was plentiful and great as too!
Ribera Wine Tour
Ismael was such a wonderful tour guide! He happily answered all our wine questions and kindly translated for us when one winery owner didn’t speak English.
The best wine experience
I recommend it 100% Ismael, thank you for giving us the best experience from Puerto Rico
More Than Just a Wine Tasting
Ismael was an excellent guide for our wine tour through Ribera del Duero. What made the day especially interesting was how different each of the three wineries was. The first was a modern, ambitious project that has already received major recognition, including being named one of the best vineyards of the year. The second was a much more established commercial winery, which gave us a great look at how a larger, well known operation produces and markets wine at scale. The third was my favorite contrast: a family run business with a surprisingly large operation, but still a very personal and traditional feel. Seeing those three different approaches in one day, modern and innovative, established and commercial, and family owned and traditional, gave us a much better understanding of Ribera del Duero than simply visiting three similar wineries would have. Ismael was knowledgeable, easygoing, and did a great job explaining the wines, the region, the winemaking process, and the differences between each producer without making it feel overly technical. Highly recommend the tour if you want to really understand Ribera del Duero rather than just taste a few wines.
