Madrid Wine Tour Reviews

1. Madrid Countryside Wineries Guided Tour with Wine Tasting

What to Expect on the Tour

Whether it’s your first time really learning about wine or you consider yourself to be a discerning oenophile, this tour is perfect for you.

Taking you from the hustle and bustle of Madrid to the serene countryside of La Mancha, you’ll enjoy a guided tour that combines historical insights with the workmanship that goes into wine making.

Explore respected wineries and learn from the best about how they make their award-winning reds, whites, and roses!

Aside from the generous tasting of 10 different wine selections, we were also provided tasty treats like Iberico ham and local cheeses, paired with each glass. The detail and background of each winery was wonderful, and I felt I gained an incredible amount of knowledge for a tour of just 6 hours!

What Makes This Tour Great

Needless to say, I’ve been on a ton of wine tours over the past few years. However, few are as informative as this one is! Our guide was actually a certified sommelier (this may not apply to all guides), and was incredibly friendly and made sure everyone was having a good time.

We learned not only about the region, but each winery’s specific winemaking techniques, and the differences between different wines.

Our air-conditioned minivan was smooth and comfortable, and it was cool being able to visit one of the country’s oldest wineries, complete with interesting cave cellars and clay fermentation!

This was the first time I’d ever seen winemaking in claybaths, which was particularly fascinating. Every wine I tried was magnificent, and the way the winemakers and our guide described each one to us really made them stick in my mind.

If you’re looking to learn and experience a nice blend of both modern and traditional styles, this is the tour for you!

2. Madrid Region Wineries: Guided Tour and Tastings

What to Expect on the Tour

If the previous tour caught your attention, this is a fabulous alternative that will take you to 3 acclaimed wineries in the Madrid region.

It’s a great opportunity for cultural immersion outside of the city, with sophisticated wine tasting while learning from expert winemakers.

If you feel like getting away from the busy city center, you’ll love the relaxing journey out to the beautiful countryside that looks like something out of a postcard.

Learn about the importance of wine in Spain, and how they’ve been making the reds and whites for nearly a millennium!

However, this isn’t just a tour where facts are rattled off – you’ll get insider views into every aspect of winemaking, all while enjoying the picturesque views from the surrounding area.

What Makes This Tour Great

This exceptional tour showcases the best of Madrid’s wine region, offering in-depth insight into the art and science of winemaking and their specific ways of doing so.

Our transportation was comfortable and our guide entertained us along our journey with stories about the cultural history of the area, as well as specific stories relating back to their wine.

Our guide was bilingual in Spanish and English and did a great job of translating some of the more complex subjects for us.

Just like with some of the others, we were able to see the clay tubs and centuries-old caves that have held and fermented wine for generations.

So much so, that even Cervantes wrote about the wine made here! I also didn’t know this before, but the granite foothills are environmentally protected and dedicated to making wine, and the wineries definitely do not take it for granted.

3. Madrid: Half-Day Winery Tour with Tasting

What to Expect on the Tour

This tour is the shortest of its kind, which is ideal if you have evening plans or simply don’t want to commit to a longer experience.

It’s ideal for those who just want to dip their toe into the world of wine, as well as those who’d like to get away just for a few hours. However, just because it’s shorter doesn’t mean it’s lacking in experience or knowledge!

In fact, you can expect an exciting little adventure out to the gorgeous countryside right outside Madrid, with an expert guide there to be your friend and source of vast information relating to all things “Spanish wine”!

This tour includes an in-depth, “behind-the-scenes” tour of one traditional Spanish winery, where the staff (and in some cases, owners) will show you all about their winemaking processes and offer samples of the goods.

What Makes This Tour Great

I liked this tour specifically because it’s a bit more difficult to convince non-wine-aficionados to go on adventures like this – specifically dedicated to wine.

It’s just the right length of time to experience an authentic Spanish winery and learn the secrets of how they make their delicious wines, while still having you back to your hotel relatively early on in the day. If you have a packed itinerary, this is definitely a good look.

Our guide didn’t just show us the typical areas of a vineyard – we got to see all the inner workings of the facility, learning about how they use tradition in every part of the winemaking process.

After our in-depth tour, we then got to try their wines and learn how to properly taste each one. The winemakers were very friendly and did a great job of answering every question we had in an approachable manner.

4. Toledo City Tour and Wine Tasting Experience From Madrid

What to Expect on the Tour

Expect one of the most well-organized, complete tours of the region’s wine country, combined with the opportunity to explore the beautiful city of Toledo.

I’ll admit that Toledo probably wouldn’t have been on my list before going on this tour, but now I can’t recommend it enough to anyone who will listen!

This tour does a great job at highlighting the medieval splendor of the city, while complementing it with an in-depth visit to a nearby winery.

Just like the others, the winery tour is very immersive and offers many educational opportunities for those who’d like to expand upon their wine expertise.

The experience extends to a tasting session, where you’re able to savor a fine selection of exquisite wines carefully paired with local delicacies. Whether you’re a history buff, wine connoisseur, or simply want to see outside the city of Madrid, this tour should be on your list.

What Makes This Tour Great

I’m so happy that I decided to go on this tour! I would’ve never been able to see the absolutely stunning city of Toledo, complete with its winding streets, charming locales, majestic cathedral, and many more artistic and historical gems.

If you’re an architecture nerd like I am, you’ll love getting to see the different types of architecture here, including Gothic, Mudejar, Renaissance, Baroque, Arabic, and more!

Our guide did a great job sharing interesting background everywhere we went, including the Jewish Quarter and where the convents are located, which was particularly interesting.

After walking around, we then made our way to a breathtaking winery where we received a guided tour of the old cellars. It was there where we not only learned about the aging, fermentation, and other winemaking steps, but actually got to try 3 of their finest wines!

5. From Madrid: Ribera del Duero Tour of 3 Different Wineries

What to Expect on the Tour

Explore one of the most enchanting locations in all of Spain while learning about how they make their exceptional wines, on this next tour.

Clocking in at 11 hours, it’s the most comprehensive I’ve had the pleasure of taking and involves heading right into the heart of the fabled Ribera del Duero. Known for its world-class wines and postcard-esque vineyards, Ribera del Duoro has so much to offer!

Expect a well-paced tour with a professional guide who knows seemingly all there is to know about Spanish wine and the history of the region!

Visit 3 renowned wineries and benefit from exclusive access while trying plenty of great local dishes and visit some historical sites along the way. The wine tastings were incredible, and all of the staff members we met were very friendly and willing to answer all of our questions.

What Makes This Tour Great

Try some of the most delicious wine around, all while getting time to explore some fun historic spots, 3 different wineries, and a restaurant to try the local gastronomy.

Our transportation for the day was a smooth and comfy little coach that fit our small group, and I felt our guide was a safe driver.

The 3 wineries were clearly picked by someone who knows what they’re talking about, because each one offered something a bit unique and different from the others.

I loved learning about every step of winemaking, down to the most minute detail! We learned about their winemaking history that dates back hundreds of years, as well as the fact that their grapes are grown in extreme weather, resulting in mouthwatering wines!

It really felt like we were traveling back to the Middle Ages, hearing stories about the wine producer families, medieval villages, castles, and how wine played a role in everything for that time!
