This was supposed to be a group tour but it ended up being just me and my wife. Raul could have cancelled the tour but he went ahead with it and we are very thankful that he did. Instead of meeting us at the original pickup point Raul offered to pick us up closer to where we were staying which was above and beyond. The first winery we visited gave us a glimpse of the history of the region, the type of grapes grown, and the different type of wines produced. We were given a full tour of the winery which was very interesting. The room where the barrels are stored was breathtaking. The second winery was a small family operation, we were given the opportunity to taste the wine in the family wine cave, a very unique experience. The bread and Olive Oil were to die for. Interacting with the entire family was special. We had lunch at the third winery, very good. The final winery was also a treat. I really felt like we got special treatment during each visit even though there were only 2 of us. I was not planning on buying any wine, but came home with a case. The local Tempranillo wine is excellent. Thank you Raul for a wonderful experience and teaching us so much about wine. Very much appreciated. Hope we get a chance to do another one of your tours in the future.
