We visited Kirios de Adrada and the cavas of Aranda del Duero. My family and I had a memorable experience, one that unfortunately places a high bar for future wine related experiences. :-)

In any case, the visit started at the vineyard, walking the harsh highland soils of Aranda del Duero (in the heart of Ribera del Duero). The master wine maker (Jesus) shared his wine-making philosophy and invited us to smell the soil of that specific vineyard. He also explained and showed us how full of living/organic materials were in the soil and insisted that these were essential ingredients for the wine (not something to be "controlled" by pesticides or such).

Indeed, the wine juice has its own yeast that ferments it (I believe some wine makers call this "natural" wine). In Kirios de Adrada, its the only way.

This is not like any wine tasting event I have ever attended. I would characterize it more as a wine experience guided by the knowledgeable and personable Ignasio Segovia, which will leave you wanting for more. Indeed, when back in Madrid next time will make sure to take the Winebus where ever it should go.

Highly recommended!

Thank you very much for your comment. Jesus from Kirios de Adrada has a wonderful speech. I consider him as a philosopher as much as a wine maker.
The explanation he made while we smelt the soil of his vineyard is something unforgettable.
We intend to do more than a simple taste, something that awaken all our senses.
It will be a great pleasure to have you again on the Winebus. :)
Regards

Authentic Wine Tour! Look no further.

We had a great time on the Winebus. Not a stuffy overpriced wine tour with only small samples. Instead an engaging day with Ignacio and local producers. Lunch was beautiful with simple local products prepared right. After lunch we toured caves and gained much historic insight into the region. Strongly recommended!

Thank you very much for your comment. Comments like yours encourage us to try to enhance the experience with little details. In fact I would say that we enjoyed a lot yesterday. Because we love what we do. But we enjoy even more when we realize that people from other parts of the world enjoy with the same things we do. We expect to see you again on the Winebus.

Marvilloso!

An outstanding time. Things could not have gone better. Ignacio met with us at the specified time as promised, and took us on a great trip. The day Kirios de Adrada winery was picture perfect, and the wine was even better! After the day at the winery, we finished things off at sunset at Hoces del Duraton national park. At the end of the day, we went home highly satisfied, and VERY tired from a fantastic day. Highly recommended!

Thank you for your comment. There are so many nice wineries and so many wonderful places to visit around Madrid that it is a real pleasure to design and to implement the tours. But the greatest pleasure is when we see you enjoy with the same things and activities we enjoy. This is the best gift. Thank you again. It will be wonderful if you come to see us again If you ever come back to Spain in the future. :)

A great way to discover wines, Madrid & Spain of the beaten path

In the end, it's an experience. Ignacio makes sure each moment of the tour is prepared, from the wines, the winery, the tour, the food and the good atmosphere.

More and more, I visit less, and experience more. This is exactly what you want to do to really feel and live what is Spain and wines !

Thank you for your comment. And thank you for realizing that many of the things that happen in the tour, do happen after hard work in order to try that the experience is going to be super. The best thing of the winebus is the quality of the people who decide among other options to come with the winebus. I expect you will come back some day and try again. Regards. :)

Thank you for your comment. Its you that make of the winebus such an incredible experience, not only for you but for us in many ways. And you do it by deciding that our proposal fits with what you were looking for. You come with such a positive attitude that makes that both visitors and organizers feel that we are doing something amusing and exciting. It was also incredible for me the visit to El Hotelito, and to pick mushrooms in a sunny day when the prediction was snow. What a nice experience! Thank you for your company. We expect to see you again soon. Regards
