Beautiful experience in the Ribera del Duero region. We had a pick up just outside our hotel in the centre of Madrid and enjoyed the drive together with our guide, Michael Pope. He gave us lot of information and also some fun facts about the area and was very easy to talk to. We got to visit 3 different winemakers and they were all so friendly and you could really see the love they had for their vineyards. The area is amazing, and we would really love to go back one more time. Michael also organised a lunch at a local restaurant and the food was good and the staff were so kind and service minded. Michael is fluent in english and spanish and the tour doesn't feel "touristy" in any way.
Response from the operator: Many thanks for your kind words, Camilla. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you both and show you Ribera del Duero. If you need anything at all, you know where to find me. All the best, Michael

A Personal and Authentic Wine Experience
Michael is an exceptional guide. Me and my girlfriend had a honeymoon experience lol. Before the tour, Michael asked if there was any particular bodega I wanted to visit, but I told him I trusted his criteria — and it was definitely the right choice. The three bodegas he took us to were all very different and incredibly special. What made the experience unique was how personal it felt. We were able to talk directly with the owners, their spouses, or their children, and they were the ones giving us the tours. It felt very authentic and one-on-one. Michael also knows a lot about wine and is a great conversationalist. He picked us up, drove us to every vineyard, and the food was delicious. I’m sure he could also arrange visits to larger, more well-known wineries if that’s what you’re looking for, but as he explained, those tours are usually bigger and you lose the personal touch which I would recommend. Just trust him you will not be unsatisfied.
Response from the operator: Hi Esteban, Many thanks for taking the time to write a review, I appreciate your kind words and am pleased that you both enjoyed the day! If either of you need anything at all, you know where to find me. All the best, Michael

Unreliable and missed a day of vacation because of this.
Cancelled one business day before with no explanation and no call or text for 2 people for $1,000 USD. Thankfully I checked my email because we got in the evening before and were expecting to do this tour the next morning. Don’t plan around this guy. There are plenty of other options. Of course he cancelled after it was too late to book another tour and this was a weekend trip. Thanks for wasting 1/3 of our holiday.
Response from the operator: Hi Jared, I’m genuinely sorry for the disappointment this caused and I completely understand how frustrating it must have been, especially on a short weekend trip. I cancelled the tour on Thursday morning for a Saturday departure due to a personal matter outside of my control. This is something I take very seriously. In fact, it’s only the second tour I’ve had to cancel in over two years of operating, and I often go to great lengths to honour bookings, even working through illness when possible. Vine Travel is a small, independent operation. When alternative guides weren’t available on this occasion, I felt it was more responsible to cancel than to deliver an experience that didn’t meet the standard people expect and pay for. I did send a cancellation email as soon as the decision was made, along with a recommendation for another operator, but I appreciate that if you were travelling at the time, this may not have reached you quickly enough. I regret the impact this had on your plans and I’m truly sorry it affected your holiday. While rare, these situations are never taken lightly, and clear communication and fairness to guests remain a priority for me. If you need to discuss anything else, you can write to me at michael@vine-travel.com I hope your trip to Madrid is still enjoyable despite the disappointment caused here. Best, Michael

Absolutely perfect day of wineries!
My wife and I did a private wine tour with Michael based on the recommendation of friends of ours that had done a tour with him earlier this year that they loved! And my wife and I would totally agree! He picked out 3 unique wineries as well as had a wealth of knowledge about not just wine but the area in general. We have already said we would like to do a return trip to Madrid with the whole family and the number one thing we would do is book a tour with Michael again! Thanks from the Bruners!
Response from the operator: Hi Rhett, Many thanks for your kind words, it was a pleasure to spend the day with you and Autumn. Look forward to welcoming you back to Spain. Best, M

Fabulous wine tour!
This was an outstanding wine tour led by Michael. He was very knowledgeable about the industry and the area and was exceptionally patient with all of my questions. The tour never felt rushed and door to door pickup was a huge plus. We visited 3 wineries and they were all excellent but different for a well rounded view. The suckling lamb lunch was outstanding and highly recommended. Hard to imagine giving this a higher rating and would do this again in a heartbeat.
Response from the operator: Hi Alex, and many thanks for your kind review. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you both, and glad you enjoyed the visits. Always love to spend the day with foodies and talk about restaurants, foods and wine during the day. You know where I am if you need anything at all. Best, Michael

Madrid to Ribera del Duero Wine Tour with Lunch & Hotel Pickup: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Madrid.
How much does Madrid to Ribera del Duero Wine Tour with Lunch & Hotel Pickup cost?
+
Prices start at $452 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Madrid usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Madrid to Ribera del Duero Wine Tour with Lunch & Hotel Pickup take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Madrid is not rushed.
Is Madrid to Ribera del Duero Wine Tour with Lunch & Hotel Pickup worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Madrid, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Madrid to Ribera del Duero Wine Tour with Lunch & Hotel Pickup?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Madrid to Ribera del Duero Wine Tour with Lunch & Hotel Pickup suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Madrid to Ribera del Duero Wine Tour with Lunch & Hotel Pickup?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Madrid can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Madrid and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Madrid to Ribera del Duero Wine Tour with Lunch & Hotel Pickup start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Madrid within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Madrid?
+
On Outty we rank every Madrid experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Madrid Essential: Historic Center, Plaza Mayor & Royal Palace, Madrid Walking Tour from Puerta del Sol to Retiro Park, Madrid Tapas & Wine Tour with Rooftop Views and Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Madrid?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Madrid?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Madrid to Ribera del Duero Wine Tour with Lunch & Hotel Pickup?
+
