The trip to the wine region of Ribera del Duero was a lot of fun. Our tour guide, Ignacios, is very knowledgeable about Spanish wine and history of Spain. With his fluent English, we have learned a lot on the way to the wineries. We stoped by 2 wineries but we particulaly like the fisrt winery(ValSotillo) we visited. The owner gave us a tour to this huge cave with over a thousand barrels of wine in it. It was impressive! The highlight of course is the wine tasting after the tour. We tasted some great bottles of Tempranillo. They were so delicious. It's a small winery and their wines are hard to find in US so we ended up buying some bolltes and have the winery delivered them to home(for a fee). I can't wait to receive in 4 weeks.
Overall, this is a well organized tour and is a great getaway for a day outside of Madrid. I am glad we booked this trip.
