What a great way to see and experience wines from Rueda. Michael was exceptional in his communication, sharing information from the region and coordinating the entire day. Lunch was also phenomenal and the wine pairing with wines from the region truly elevated the experience. Would recommend to our friends and family. Thanks Michael for a great day/experience.
Hi Dave, Many thanks for the kind words and thanks to you all for being a great group! If you need anything at all Spain or wine related, feel free to reach out. I hope the vino dorado was a hit at lunch! Best, Michael

We loved this very unique, day tour of white wine (most of the other tours feature red wine) paired with a very special tasting menu/lunch at a Michelin Star restaurant. Michael is an incredible guide with so much knowledge of the wineries of Spain as well as globally. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the kind words, Suzanne! Glad you both enjoyed the day, as did I with both of you. Whenever you're back in Spain, or for any questions about Spanish wine, you know where to find me. All the best, Michael
