4. Sotillo de la Ribera
Second Winery: The second winery we visit is in harmonious modernity with the environment; it is open to the vineyards. This link between the interior and the exterior is a statement of the necessary functionality of spaces, nature and history. Everything stands up as a new concept of wine. We always select wineries that are different, mixing tradition and modernity, to get a broad understanding of one of the most famous wine regions in the world. Every stop will bring a surprise and you will learn about traditional wine making, modern architecture and limited productions that make special wines.

During our trip to Madrid we used the welcome pick up service for transfers to and from Barajas airport. We had a great time, especially with Adil, our first driver. Adil, in addition to being punctual, empathetic, with a very comfortable car, made himself available to help us with the host. I highly recommend this service for your travels with complete peace of mind. Tiziana. 20th April.

We had a very small tour that felt very intimate. The tour host was very knowledgeable and very engaging. He explained the area and the wineries in detail and made the experience very comfortable and informative. The tour was all I had hoped it would be and more.

I had an amazing wine tasting experience in Spain with a great tour guide Ismael. Ismael was so knowledgeable and friendly which made the experience comfortable since I was a solo woman traveler. Each of the three vineyards were beautiful and the tastings were amazing. So much so that I purchased and shipped 3 cases of wine back to the US. This was my very first wine tasting / vineyard experience in Spain and I look forward to many more in the future. If you enjoy wine and have an interest in learning and experience delicious wine from Spain then this is the tour for you. It’s one you should definitely take and if you’re lucky as I was Ismael will be your guide. Thanks so much Ismael for an informative and unforgettable experience.
