Our take

This is Vine Travel's most foodie wine day: two Rueda wineries to really understand Verdejo —from fresh tank styles to barrel-aged old vines— and a tasting-menu lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant. If you prefer white to red, there's little else like it from Madrid. It costs about €370 per person, minimum two. It's a treat, and it's worth confirming with the operator that lunch is included, since the description says so but the inclusions list doesn't. Ideal for a celebration or for serious food lovers.

The experience

How the day works

You're picked up at 8 am and head north-west to DO Rueda, the home of Verdejo. You visit two wineries chosen for their contrast, walking the vines and modern cellars and learning how sandy soils and cool nights shape the wines.

You taste at least 6 wines, from crisp steel-tank Verdejo to barrel-fermented old-vine cuvées, with a splash of Sauvignon Blanc for comparison.

Lunch

At midday, according to the tour description, you sit down to a multi-course seasonal menu at a Michelin-starred restaurant, finishing with coffee and something sweet. Confirm with the operator when booking, as it isn't in the inclusions list. You're back in Madrid in time for an evening stroll.

Who it's for

  • White wine lovers who want to get to know Verdejo properly.
  • Fine-dining fans looking for a special day out.
  • Couples celebrating something.
