A visit to Segovia isn’t complete without tasting the local flavors, and what better way than with a Winery Tour that combines history, craftsmanship, and authentic Spanish hospitality? For around $34 per person, you can spend about 1.5 hours exploring one of the smallest wineries in Castilla y León, located just a short drive from the historic city. Led by knowledgeable guides, this experience offers a genuine look into the art of wine-making, finishing with a tasting of three limited-edition wines paired with a local appetizer.
What we love about this excursion is the intimacy—visiting a boutique winery means you get a personal, behind-the-scenes look at the process of crafting high-quality wines, far from the commercialized tour bus scene. The setting itself is delightful, with the tasting taking place in a Spanish patio full of trees and vegetation, creating a peaceful, inspiring atmosphere. Another highlight is the owner-led explanations; it’s clear that passion and craftsmanship are at the heart of this operation, making it more meaningful for anyone interested in authentic, small-scale wine production.
One possible consideration is that the winery is about 30 minutes away from downtown Segovia, requiring your own transportation or arranging for a taxi. While the tour is intimate and informative, travelers relying solely on public transportation might find it a bit less convenient unless they plan ahead.
This tour is ideal for wine enthusiasts, travelers seeking authentic experiences, or those who simply want to enjoy a relaxing, educational visit outside the busy city streets. If you appreciate learning about local products from passionate producers, this is a charming choice.

The Location and Accessibility
Starting point: The tour begins at C. Real, 17, a centrally located point that’s easy to find. The winery itself is about 30 minutes away by car, so unless you’re planning to rent a car or arrange a taxi, this could limit accessibility for some travelers. The upside? The journey gives you a quick escape from the city’s hustle, leading you into a peaceful rural setting. The winery’s small size means every visitor is given personalized attention, and guides like Rodrigo or Alex are praised for their detailed explanations.
The Guided Tour: A Personal Journey into Wine-Making
The guided tour lasts about an hour, and it’s where the real magic happens. We loved the way the owners and guides take their time to explain each step in the process—covering everything from the vineyard’s history to how they produce both red and white wines. The cellar is a highlight; you get to see where the wines are made and aged, giving you a tangible connection to the product.
Guests have noted how knowledgeable guides like Rodrigo, who is also the creator of the wines, make the experience engaging. Melissa mentions that the guide’s extensive knowledge makes the tour especially memorable, and she describes this as her favorite wine experience among all the international wines she’s tried.
The Tasting: Three Wines in a Beautiful Setting
After the guided tour, the tour concludes with a 30-minute tasting in a Spanish patio filled with trees, flowers, and a peaceful ambiance. Here, you’ll sample three limited-edition wines—a chance to taste some of the best of what this boutique winery produces. Guests consistently praise the quality of the wines and the pairing with local appetizers. Ashley called the wines “truly spectacular,” emphasizing how special it is to taste wines made on a small, family-run operation.
The appetizer adds a local touch, allowing you to enjoy flavors from nearby producers, which enhances the tasting experience. Many reviews point out how personalized and welcoming this setting feels, making it much more than a quick tasting—it’s an authentic moment of connection with Spanish wine culture.

The duration and location may not suit travelers with limited mobility unless you request the special accessibility options.
