Best Wine Tour in Madrid!!! - The absolute BEST tour!!! Worth every penny! Quique (Enrique) was SO knowledgeable and friendly! Belen was also amazing! They both gave us so much education on wine making, the grapes, and the regions. I would’ve done the tour again if we had time. Thank you Quique and Belen!

Take this tour! - Highly recommend this fantastic experience with Enrique. As a winemaker himself, he is uniquely qualified and all the information he shared with us was so helpful... whether pointing out things along the drive, like how olives were being harvested... or showing the sediment in bottles racked for maturing. Both wineries were wonderful and intimate experiences. The owner at the first winery had such a good sense of humor, always making jokes; it was too bad I couldn't understand everything, but you could appreciate that they were having a good time. Good wines and snacks to taste! The second winery was another great experience, with a dramatic opening of a sparkling wine bottle, and LOTS of snacks and wine after the official tasting. Enrique also shared tastes of his own wine and olive oil, both quite good. In fact, I bought a bottle of his olive oil, but unfortunately I must have left it in the van. :-(

Just go… one of the best wine tours!!! - Of all my tours during my vacation, this one was without a doubt the best. The tour guide, Enrique, knows about wines and gives during the tour some insides about the wine making, history and differences between different wines from Spain. Both wineries were great and we had an amazing time directly chatting with owners and the wine makers. Thanks for the tour, your time and olive oil (ask for it).

Wines of D.O Madrid - I think the itinerary was just nice with 2 vineyards. Well chosen for its unique traditional brewing process, and not only for the fantastic wines. The guide Enrique was knowledgeable, keen to explain and share his knowledge with us. No one in the group was left out and he personally explained certain things to me as vineyard owner spoke in Spanish. Wines were very good and atmosphere cheerful all the time. Hats off to Enrique and Wine Tour Madrid. I definitely will come back for more.

Wonderful wine tour - Our guide, Enrique, was very informative about how wine is produced and very engaging. The two wineries we went to had excellent wines and were welcoming and explained their process. We would highly recommend this trip if you enjoy wine and would like to learn more about wine producing. Enrique was a wonderful host and so very friendly and we would join him again if we could spend more time in Madrid.

Awesome guide and awesome tour! - Awesome experience! Enrique was an excellent and friendly tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about wine. We visited two different wineries on our trip and they were both charming and excellent in their own way. We tasted some delicious varieties of local wines and they were accompanied by tasty tapas. It was also very nice to leave the hustle and bustle of Madrid and see the surrounding countryside from the comfort of a nice and comfortable van. I would definitely do this tour again and hope that Enrique's own winery becomes part of his tour in the future. Definitely recommend!
Thanks Enrique!
