If you have no knowledge about wine and its production, don’t worry, you will learn a lot during your trip. If you are already a wine enthusiast, you will consolidate your knowledge in a practical way and have the opportunity to find answers to many of your questions and curiosities.
  • Who is this trip aimed at? Our wine tours are designed exclusively for adult wine lovers who want to learn more about wine culture, local cuisine, and everything else that surrounds each region we visit. If you are traveling with minors or require special accommodations for people with reduced mobility, please contact us to discuss personalized options.

  • Do you have any allergies or dietary restrictions? Let us know in advance and we will work to adapt the meals to your dietary needs.
  • What kind of clothing should I wear? The most important thing is to wear comfortable shoes with non-slip soles to avoid accidents in the cellars, where the floor can sometimes be a little slippery. You should also bring warm clothing, as the temperature in the cellars is usually lower than outside to ensure optimal aging of the wines, in addition to the humidity that can be found there.

If a minimum number of participants is required and this is not reached, we will offer you a suitable alternative or proceed to refund the full amount paid, either the pre-booking fee or the total cost of the program, as indicated in the terms and conditions of your trip.
