Second Winery: The second winery we visit is in harmonious modernity with the environment; it is open to the vineyards. This link between the interior and the exterior is a statement of the necessary functionality of spaces, nature and history. Everything stands up as a new concept of wine.

What an amazing tour! Three very unique and picturesque vineyards. The trip was nicely balanced in education so there really wasn’t much overlap in information between the vineyards. The wine was spectacular. Antonio our guide was very knowledgeable about wine production, tasting and history. The restaurant he picked was excellent and off the beaten path. Loved every minute of our time and group.

Had a great time with my group and Kos. We ended up skipping lunch and staying in the second winery longer and ordered another two bottles. Highly recommended.

Antonio was the best guide we have had yet, and we have taken several tours in various countries. This experience goes above and beyond the average tourist sites. It gave us access to places that would be hard for us to navigate as people not from Spain. I thought the price was very reasonable for what you get on this tour.
