Detailed itinerary

You will be picked up at your accommodation on the Costa del Sol, in a 4WD Volkswagen Caravelle, and then leisurely driven through the stunning Serrania de Ronda mountain range where your day begins.

Your first stop is an old restored convent dating back to the 16th century. You will speak firsthand to the owners, who will explain their journey of restoring a ruin into a beautiful winery whilst keeping most of the original building intact. The barrel room is the old chapel room, with recovered frescoes on the walls, under the bay windows. After visiting the Winery and learning about their wine making process, you will then have a guided tasting of a selection of their range of wines accompanied by local tapas, whilst sitting on the terrace and taking in the stunning views of the Tajo.

You will then be driven to the foothills of the Acinipo ruins, to visit our second winery, a beautiful Spanish Cortijo (country house), where you will be met by the owners and wine makers. You will be taken on a very personalised wine tour of the winery and cellars, which have been hand carved out of the stone imbedded in the hillside. We shall then enjoy wine tasting and a 3 course meal with the wine makers, on their terrace (weather permitting) overlooking the vineyards and the beautiful Serrania de Ronda. If you're lucky this charming couple may even get out their guitar and serenade you with flamenco music as you watch the sunset. An unforgettable full day wine experience, where you will enjoy free flowing wine throughout the day. You will be driven back to your accommodation around 18:00 or when the sun has set.
