This imposing winery in Ribera del Duero has been guiding its vineyards for five generations towards quality and tradition, always with the most respectful winemaking with its motto “grapes before vats”. Belén Sanz Cid (winemaker) and her brother Iván (general management) make these wines a must on the best tables in the country. Its imposing Basque farmhouse, and its 200ha of pine forest, will make your visit a unique experience. Lar de Maía Winery.

In a land of great contrasts, with icy winters and arid summers, stands Bodegas Vizar. Its 90 hectares of vineyards, sheltered by the Duero River, form the only winery of the Protected Designation of Origin Dehesa Peñalba. Nestled in the heart of Valladolid’s Golden Mile of Wine, you can’t miss the chance to walk along its paths, following in Napoleon’s footsteps during the Spanish War of Independence. A visit with wine tasting or a traditional meal at their facilities will be the perfect end to your wine tourism getaway. And as we know that there is no better finishing touch than cheese, we complete the experience with a wine and cheese pairing, we will complete this tasting at sunset with one of the best cheesemakers of our land. Queserías La Antigua will complete this event with a wonderful cheese tasting, which will teach you to enjoy cheese as you have never done before.
