The advantage of Madrid wineries is that the distances are closer. Just 30 Kms away from Madrid you feel transported several hundred kilometres way ahead, and several decades, if not centuries, way back. Madrid's Region's countryside, coated with vineyards and historical towns, that supplied wine for the capital since its very foundation (since its conquest by the Castilians from the Moors actually). About 19 miles (30km) away from the capital’s center, you’ll find yourself in the heart of the Madrid's main winemaking area, Las Vegas de Madrid, known as Vinos de Madrid – a Spanish Denominación de origen (DO) territory. All wines produced here adhere to strict production guidelines so they have are able to proudly display the DO Madrid labels on their bottles – an indication of the region's high-quality wine.

  • 5¡Excelente!

    Enrique was very professional and an excellent guide. He knew how to let everyone cut loose and have a great time, while still keeping the tour organized and informative. You will not be disappointed if you are fortunate enough to get Enrique as your guide.
