We did the tapas and wine tour in Madrid. We really enjoyed 3/4 spots. The 3rd spot 4-5 people shared one container of shrimp. Many of the other guests were double dipping which I found unsanitary. My husband and I were unable to enjoy the food at the 3rd location due to this other guest. The 3rd spot was standing only which was uncomfortable. Noemi was an excellent guide. I am pescatarian and she accommodated my restrictions without issue. I had something to eat at each stop.

We recently enjoyed an unforgettable Ribera del Duero Wine Tour with Ismael as our guide. The day took us to three incredible wineries, each offering a distinct experience that highlighted the diversity and richness of this world-renowned wine region. From the moment we met Ismael, his passion for wine and deep knowledge of the Ribera del Duero region set the tone for the day. He provided fascinating insights into the history, terroir, and winemaking traditions of the area, making the journey between wineries just as engaging as the tastings themselves. Each winery offered something unique: First Winery – We experienced an intimate tour of the vineyard and cellar, followed by a tasting of elegant, well-balanced reds that perfectly expressed the local terroir. Second Winery – This stop combined modern architecture with innovative winemaking techniques, giving us a fresh perspective on how tradition and innovation meet in Ribera del Duero. Third Winery – Our final visit was a deep dive, literally into the caves of an hill where they stored the wine, into heritage and craftsmanship, where we sampled robust, complex wines that left a lasting impression. Overall, the variety of experiences ranging from rustic charm to cutting edge production made the tour truly exceptional. Ismael’s professionalism, friendliness, and storytelling brought the whole journey to life. We left with a deeper appreciation for Ribera del Duero wines and memories we will cherish. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the best of Ribero del Duero wine country!

This was an informative and enjoyable day in Ribera Del Duero. We visited three unique and different wineries. The wines we sampled were of the highest quality and each winery shared their passion of wine making, and explained the differences in the wines selected. The food accompanying the wines were also delicious and generous. Our guide Ismael was also passionate and knowledgeable about wine making and also was very familiar of the region. He was also very entertaining and friendly. It was a perfect day out and I highly recommend this tour to both novice and expert wine aficionados. 10/10
