"I have been on several wine tours throughout Europe and this one is my favorite, as it far exceeded my expectations. Giuseppe was so nice and was extremely knowledgeable about the region, wines, wine making, etc". - Crystal, NYC
"What a great trip! Would thoroughly recommend this trip. Much more intimate than a general tour with lots of people. Raul and Guiseppe are amazing - very knowledgeable regarding the wine and the local area and both very charming and personable. We visited a winery that has been in the family for 400 years and one of the owners conducted the tour which was a real treat. The caves are a must see. Would definitely do another trip with Wine Toursim Spain" Lisa T , London
