Not worth the drive - if you are there see it but don’t count on the tour. 45 minutes of talk with no useful historical info. From far the Castel is beautiful- from close, its cheaply restored with wrong materials. Somehow I feel it was built as a castle but not to serve as one - felt a bit fake as point of protection. The views are great but the guide is clueless and a bit rude. Don’t expect English in the tour even though ticket sales are in English.

Fatal. A group of 100 people. They spend an hour and a half moving 100 people through three areas alone. The guide is great but you cannot make groups for paying guided tours with 100 people at a time. Not recommendable.

The castle is phenomenal and the Provincial Wine Museum is interesting, but the guided tour of the castle has been a disaster, and there is no other way to visit it than paying for the visit. The guide could barely give any information about the castle and its history beyond the basic knowledge of someone who has done the E.S.O. or has read Wikipedia.

This is a rather unusual castle in its shape (like a long narrow boat) and is worth a visit. You have to take a guided tour and those are only in Spanish, but for additional 2 euros you can get an English audio guide, which gives pretty detailed explanations. The views are excellent.

The castle is very beautiful. I give it a low rating because it can only be visited with a guided tour (1 hour) and by entering the wine museum. We didn't have that much time and we just wanted to see the inside of the castle. It's a shame they force you.

We went through Penafiel on a day trip and decided to drive up to the castle. We managed to arrive just before the last tour of the day so joined that instantly. The tour is only offered in Spanish so my partner had to translate for me, but even so it was still worth it. The castle was uniquely narrow and there were some great facts and stories about how it was built and what took place there. You need to be either a Spanish speaker, or with a Spanish speaker though to make the most of this as I would of missed out on so much information had it not been for my partner.

The Castle is Perfect, from an Architectural point of view.
The guided tour, complete, full of information and with a pinch of sympathy included.
Panoramic Points that enhance the characteristics of the Castilian territory.
A Wine Museum, truly well thought out and created, inside one of the most iconic Castles in all of Spain, in the center of the most prestigious denomination, that of Ribera del Duero.
10 cum laude and academic kiss, for those who made the perfect synthesis of Style, Taste, History, Tradition and Culture possible.
The visit is highly recommended.

A must see in Peñafiel. Very good explanation of the history of the village and a great museum of wine traditions in the Ribera del Duero. Make sure you buy tickets beforehand and stick to the times. There is a guided tour included.

We were a group of 49 adults, it was a great experience.
The guide was pleasant and the visit was educational, we really liked it.
I recommend to all types of groups, families with children and adults.
We completed the visit with the wine tasting with José Antonio and it was magnificent, educational and enjoyable.

An imposing castle, very well preserved and restored. Access to the top of the hill is made by road, a rather curved and tight but with spectacular views, such as the view of the castle that gives a 360 degree panorama. The visits are in groups, which may disappoint some, however, it turns out to be quite informative and interesting to follow. The wine museum inside the castle is another point of interest to visit.

Me gustaría saber si es necesario reservar con antelación si queremos ver castillo + museo más hacer la degustación de vinos o si se compra la entrada en el mismo día sin problema. Gracias
Written November 2, 2019
Sí. Pueden subir autobuses y quedar aparcados en un espacio para ellos.

Are they listening to input and considering audio tours with headphones in English?
Written June 28, 2018
I hope they do consider this input and offer up audio tours with headphones, but as previously mentioned, at the time of our visit, they did not.

me gustaría saber si se puede visitar el castillo sin reservar antes
Written October 15, 2016
No hace falta reservar pero las visitas con guia tienen horario. Nosotros aprovechamos para ver el Museo del Vino que esta alli mismo u puedes comprar la entrada para ambas cosas a la vez

Tegen de hellingen bij d weg die leidt naar het kasteel Castillo de Penafiel bemerkt men meerdere kleine schouwen (of iets dergelijks). Graag vernam ik wat deze zijn en waarvoor ze gebruikt werden (worden?)

Me gustaria saber si la visita al castillo se puede hacer por libre
Written October 2, 2015
Creo que no. Nosotros cogimos la entrada para la visita guiada. Te dan a escoger para sólo la visita al castillo; visita al castillo+museo del vino; visita al castillo+museo del vino+visita bodega en Peñafiel. La visita al castillo guiada creo que es imprescindible.
