Madrid Wine Tour: Visit Two Wineries with Tastings
A sommelier-guided journey through one of Spain's most underrated wine regions
This Madrid wine tour takes small groups of up to eight guests into the heart of the Denominacion de Origen Madrid, visiting two distinct wineries with a certified sommelier and Spanish Wine Scholar as your guide. It is an unhurried, in-depth experience designed for curious travellers who want more than a glass — they want context, conversation, and a genuine connection to the land behind the bottle.
The Denominacion de Origen Madrid covers a wide arc of terrain south and southwest of the capital, where varieties such as Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Malvar have been cultivated for centuries. Despite sitting within reach of one of Europe's most visited cities, the region remains largely undiscovered by international visitors, making it a rewarding destination for those willing to look beyond the tourist trail.
Your guide holds a Spanish Wine Scholar qualification alongside sommelier certification, meaning the tastings go well beyond surface-level notes. Expect honest explanations of soil composition, vineyard management decisions, and the choices winemakers make in the cellar — knowledge that applies long after you return home.
With a maximum of eight guests per departure, the pace is relaxed and the conversation is genuine. The tour runs year-round and includes comfortable round-trip transport from central Madrid, so nothing is left to chance.

Itinerary
The tour collects guests from a central Madrid meeting point and heads out into the Madrid DO wine country. The drive serves as an introduction to the appellation — its geography, history, and the factors that shape the wines grown here.
Your first stop is personalised to your group's interests. This may be a historic, often family-run estate where you will walk through traditional ageing caves and learn how generations of the same family have shaped their wines; or a forward-thinking boutique producer focused on sustainability and new techniques that are drawing attention across Spain.
Sit down with the sommelier for a guided tasting of the estate's wines. Your guide will lead the discussion, covering aroma, structure, and how the winery's approach to viticulture and vinification is expressed in the glass.
The second stop offers a contrasting perspective — whether that is a different style of producer, a different altitude, or a different philosophy. Further wines are tasted here, and you will have time to compare what you experienced at the first estate.
The return journey takes between 30 minutes and one hour depending on traffic and the location of the second winery. There is time to reflect on the day's tastings and ask any final questions before arriving back in the city.
