Madrid Wine Experience: Winery Tour & Lunch in Chinchón
Why travelers loved this
4.9 · 1 reviewMy wife and I booked a 3-day/2-night private tour with Michael through the Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. We had an incredible, unforgettable experience and would highly recommend Vine Travel. The website promises a “wine trip that feels less like a tour and more like being let in on a secret” . . . and Michael more than delivers! Over three days, we met the coolest local wine producers and families. Michael has built genuine relationships across these regions. This allowed special access to cellars and vineyards, to private tastings, and to so many personal and authentic interactions with local winemakers. We rode a Hummer to the top of one of the highest vineyards in Rioja. We explored the centuries-old cellars and caves of historic properties. We tasted an aging reserve wine from the barrel at one winery; and a much younger wine not long after harvest from another. We walked through wine making processes and had countless fun discussions (over wine) with owners, experts, and passionate locals. We tasted as much wine as we could have asked. During our trip, Michael make sure we enjoyed and appreciated the most incredible local villages, vineyards, and viewpoints. You will be blown away by the beauty, history, and character of the region. Michael also arranged some terrific meals. (Don’t miss the pintxos crawl on Calle Laurel in Logroño.) Michael is knowledgeable, well-regarded, and fun. We were blessed to spend a private 3-day tour with him. I’d recommend that you trust him in winery recommendations and planning. We did – and we were blown away with the trip, with unique experiences each day. Michael also helped us to arrange a shipment of wine back to the U.S., so we could remember (and enjoy again) each of our special winery visits.
About This Experience
Wine, food and history in one Madrid day trip: a family-run winery in the countryside outside the capital, a full Spanish lunch, starters, mains, dessert, coffee and a drink, all included, and time in one of the region's historic villages to complete the picture. The structure is everything Spain does best, deliberately assembled: local wine, historic villages, and long, leisurely lunches, the operator's own trinity, delivered without hurry. The winery visit grounds the day: a family-run estate in the Madrid countryside, where you walk the historical property, explore the cellar, and taste three wines as part of the visit, the capital's own under-sung wine region poured at the source. Madrid's vineyards predate most of Spain's famous appellations, and tasting them where they grow remains a genuine insider move. The lunch elevates it: a complete Spanish table, starters through dessert, with coffee and a drink included, the multi-course midday meal that structures Spanish life, taken at Spanish length. Tours that include a token tapa miss the point; this one commits to the institution. The historic village adds the postcard: time to wander plazas and lanes that Madrid's day-trippers have loved for centuries, where the region's history lingers in arcades and balconies, the classic pairing with wine country since Spaniards first made a Sunday of it. Bottled water and all the named inclusions are covered, making the day's price unusually honest: what is listed is what arrives. Wine Trails confirms your booking instantly online, direct with the operator and free of middleman margin. The pace is the product: Spaniards treat lunch as the day's main event, and this tour honours the custom, so schedule nothing ambitious afterward and let the sobremesa, the lingering after the meal, happen as intended. Wine purchased at the estate travels home as the region's most underrated souvenir. Madrid's museums will fill your mornings; this day answers the afternoons, the countryside version of the capital, poured, plated and unhurried. One winery, one village, one proper Spanish lunch: the day trip that eats like a tradition.
