Great Day Wine Tasting with Enrique - This wine tour was fantastic. Enrique was wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Both wineries were beautiful and had very enjoyable wine. We were toured by the owners of both wineries and got first hand account of the wineries history. You could tell Enrique has a passion for Spanish wine and does a great job communicating that and getting you excited about it as well. Highly recommend.

Best Wine Tour in Madrid!!! - The absolute BEST tour!!! Worth every penny! Quique (Enrique) was SO knowledgeable and friendly! Belen was also amazing! They both gave us so much education on wine making, the grapes, and the regions. I would’ve done the tour again if we had time. Thank you Quique and Belen!

Take this tour! - Highly recommend this fantastic experience with Enrique. As a winemaker himself, he is uniquely qualified and all the information he shared with us was so helpful... whether pointing out things along the drive, like how olives were being harvested... or showing the sediment in bottles racked for maturing. Both wineries were wonderful and intimate experiences. The owner at the first winery had such a good sense of humor, always making jokes; it was too bad I couldn't understand everything, but you could appreciate that they were having a good time. Good wines and snacks to taste! The second winery was another great experience, with a dramatic opening of a sparkling wine bottle, and LOTS of snacks and wine after the official tasting. Enrique also shared tastes of his own wine and olive oil, both quite good. In fact, I bought a bottle of his olive oil, but unfortunately I must have left it in the van. :-(

Exceptional vitacora and tourist experience. - The tour experience was exceptional. Enrique is a knowledgeable and respectful, friendly and fun person. He knows how to accommodate each of your tastes during the tour so that you have an unforgettable experience. The La Mancha tour is excellent and I recommend that you visit the El Retorno restaurant with Enrique for an exceptional culinary experience. If you want to have a real experience of what Spain is like in its wines and food, Enrique is the best option. I can't wait to return to Spain and enjoy another of Enrique's Tours. I think this next time I'll go with one of several days. I will recommend it to my friends here in Puerto Rico.

The best vineyard tour. - The best experience we have had when visiting vineyards. The knowledge of the guide (Enrique) makes the experience much more interesting and valuable. The two vineyards are a “yesterday vs. today” in relation to preparation and styles when making wine. Enrique made the tour enjoyable and leaves us wanting more. Ask for the olive oil... to coat your fingers!!!

Just go… one of the best wine tours!!! - Of all my tours during my vacation, this one was without a doubt the best. The tour guide, Enrique, knows about wines and gives during the tour some insides about the wine making, history and differences between different wines from Spain. Both wineries were great and we had an amazing time directly chatting with owners and the wine makers. Thanks for the tour, your time and olive oil (ask for it).

Wines of D.O Madrid - I think the itinerary was just nice with 2 vineyards. Well chosen for its unique traditional brewing process, and not only for the fantastic wines. The guide Enrique was knowledgeable, keen to explain and share his knowledge with us. No one in the group was left out and he personally explained certain things to me as vineyard owner spoke in Spanish. Wines were very good and atmosphere cheerful all the time. Hats off to Enrique and Wine Tour Madrid. I definitely will come back for more.
