What you'll see and do
Costa del Sol
You will be picked up at your accommodation on the Costa del Sol, in a 4WD Volkswagen Caravelle, and then leisurely driven through the stunning Serrania de Ronda mountain range where your day begins.
Pass by without stopping
Ronda
Your first stop is an old restored convent dating back to the 16th century. You will speak firsthand to the owners, who will explain their journey of restoring a ruin into a beautiful winery whilst keeping most of the original building intact. The barrel room is the old chapel room, with recovered frescoes on the walls, under the bay windows. After visiting the Winery and learning about their wine making process, you will then have a guided tasting of a selection of their range of wines accompanied by local tapas, whilst sitting on the terrace and taking in the stunning views of the Tajo.

Ciudad Romana de Acinipo
You will then be driven to the foothills of the Acinipo ruins, to visit our second winery, a beautiful Spanish Cortijo (country house), where you will be met by the owners and wine makers. You will be taken on a very personalised wine tour of the winery and cellars, which have been hand carved out of the stone imbedded in the hillside. We shall then enjoy wine tasting and a 3 course meal with the wine makers, on their terrace (weather permitting) overlooking the vineyards and the beautiful Serrania de Ronda. If you're lucky this charming couple may even get out their guitar and serenade you with flamenco music as you watch the sunset. An unforgettable full day wine experience, where you will enjoy free flowing wine throughout the day. You will be driven back to your accommodation around 18:00 or when the sun has set.

One of the best afternoons of my life!
We booked with Rootz and had Niky as our guide. The trip to Ronda with time to explore followed by a visit to Bodegas Conrad were great. Pretty standard as to what I would expect from a winery tour. However, our last stop, lunch & tour at Bodegas Ramos Paul was unbelievable. Many in our group of 15 said it was one of the best experiences of their lives. The location was gorgeous, the story was great, the wine and food were delicious, however the hospitality and overall feeling of welcome from Paul & Pilar were beyond amazing. We showed up as strangers to their home and after an afternoon of laughter, stories, education, entertainment and a meal prepared by the couple themselves in this beautiful piece of Spain, we left as friends. There was no other option than to turn off the outside world and just enjoy yourselves while Paul & Pilar shared their passion for this wine and the people who become a part of their story. Niky was a great tour guide, very informative and extremely knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had. 5 ⭐ definitely recommend!
Response from the operator: Hi Kait, Thank you for your wonderful review. It gives us an enormous amount of satisfaction when we receive reviews like yours. Nane and Pilar are a charming couple. We spend a lot of time searching out the small, boutique wineries, that offer a unique, personable wine tour experience to their wineries, where you can immerse yourself in their world for one day. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your golfing trip to Marbella. Warmest wishes to you and the rest of the group, Nicky.

Highly recommended.
Nicki was super knowledgeable and accomodating. The tour was very diversified with the visit in Ronda on our own, then the tour of two wineries with two different production processes.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to write us a review. We are so pleased you enjoyed the tour to Ronda and the visits to the small family owned wineries. We endeavour to offer a unique, personalised experience and we are so pleased when we get positive feedback from customers. Warmest wishes and safe travels home. Nicky.

VIP Ronda Olive Oil Mill and Winery Tour with Tapas Lunch
This was a fantastic day! Nicky picked us up at our villa which was so worth it- the van was very comfy for our group of 6 and the drive up the mountain was beautiful to enjoy without the stress of driving! We explored the beautiful city of Ronda on our own- definitely plan for at least 2 hours to see this lovely place! Nicky then took us the the La Organic olive oil grove and mill- what a stunning farm and operation- Laurel gave us such a wonderful and thorough tour and she answered our many questions, followed by a delicious olive oil tasting! We finished at the beautiful Conrad Estate winery for a great tour, and tasted 4 lovely wines accompanied by a tapas lunch. Nicky is a sommelier and was able to give us great insight into the Ronda wines and history, which expanded into exceptional conversations about wines and European travel! Our group loved that! This day was definitely a highlight for our group- thank you Nicky and La Organic and Conrad Estate!

VIP Wine Tasting / A Terrific Day
Add this to the list of glowing reviews regarding the Rootz experience. Everything we had hoped for! A terrific day at two very different but very good local wineries. Nicky and our hosts at both wineries provided in-depth commentary about their respective winemaking processes and the wines presented for tasting, and we enjoyed wine and tapas at the first winery, and wine and lunch at the second. We are grateful to have added this to our Andalusia itinerary. Hint - be sure to ask Nicky about spending some time in Ronda, a lovely and picturesque small town. We toured Ronda in advance of the first of two winery visits.

Would we do this again? Absolutely!

The lunch was superb & the flavours were incredible. We would 100% do this tour again. Thank you for a fab day Nicky!!

VIP Ronda Wine Tour and Tasting and Gourmet Lunch Experience with Winemaker: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marbella.
How much does VIP Ronda Wine Tour and Tasting and Gourmet Lunch Experience with Winemaker cost?
+
Prices start at $1,695 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marbella usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does VIP Ronda Wine Tour and Tasting and Gourmet Lunch Experience with Winemaker take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Marbella is not rushed.
Is VIP Ronda Wine Tour and Tasting and Gourmet Lunch Experience with Winemaker worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Marbella, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule VIP Ronda Wine Tour and Tasting and Gourmet Lunch Experience with Winemaker?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is VIP Ronda Wine Tour and Tasting and Gourmet Lunch Experience with Winemaker suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book VIP Ronda Wine Tour and Tasting and Gourmet Lunch Experience with Winemaker?
+
Around 3 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 Marbella 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 Marbella and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does VIP Ronda Wine Tour and Tasting and Gourmet Lunch Experience with Winemaker 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 Marbella 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 Marbella?
+
On Outty we rank every Marbella experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Parasailing Fuengirola - The Highest Flights on the Costa, Ronda Day Tour and Winery Visits from Marbella, Guided Canyoning Adventure Near Marbella (Benahavís River Walk). 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 Marbella?
+
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 Marbella?
+
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 VIP Ronda Wine Tour and Tasting and Gourmet Lunch Experience with Winemaker?
+
Included: Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; In-vehicle air conditioning; Alcoholic beverages; and Personal qualified wine guide to conduct you through your tastings and food pairings. Not included: Tips and gratuities not included. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does VIP Ronda Wine Tour and Tasting and Gourmet Lunch Experience with Winemaker include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 138 listed pickup locations in and around Marbella. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is VIP Ronda Wine Tour and Tasting and Gourmet Lunch Experience with Winemaker offered in?
+
It is offered in English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for VIP Ronda Wine Tour and Tasting and Gourmet Lunch Experience with Winemaker?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is VIP Ronda Wine Tour and Tasting and Gourmet Lunch Experience with Winemaker wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
