Ribera Del Duero: An Exclusive Cultural Wine Escape in Spain
Named the wine region of the year in 2012 by the Wine Enthusiast Magazine, Ribera Del Duero in Spain has been producing wines for thousands of years. Believed to have its history rooted in viticulture from 12th-century Benedictine monks, the region is known for its award-winning long ageing red wines. On this exclusive, full-day experience, you’ll be whisked off to explore some of the region’s cultural gems alongside a local historian, sip on the finest wines during private tastings and indulge in a lunch prepared by a Michelin star chef. But that’s not all – to wrap up an incredible day in Ribera Del Duero, you’ll return to Madrid overlooking the vineyards and ancient ruins from a private helicopter.
From Royal Riches to Roman Ruins
Joined by a local historian, you’ll start your day at the beautifully grand Royal Alcázars of Seville. A UNESCO heritage site and home to the royal family when visiting Seville, the palace has undergone over 500 years of construction with various architectural changes reflecting its history. From here, step into ancient Roman ruins at the Aqueduct of Segovia, an impressive 14-kilometer long aqueduct dating back to the 1st century A.D. Learn about the region’s rich history as you step back in time to walk as the Romans once did.
