Alicante : Oude wijnmakerij met proeverijen & Arabisch kasteel (XII cent)

Amazing trip! Our guide was brilliant. I proposed to my girlfriend on the tour and Yevgen filmed it for me. surprised us with a delicious bottle of fizz at the end. He also provided drone pictures of the sites and restaurant recommendations for his favourite spots. Couldn't recommend him enough it was a pleasure speaking to him and we would definitely book again! The winery was so interesting and the tasting was brilliant. We brought our favourites and we wish we bought more! The castle tour is where I proposed and it was the perfect setting looking over the vinyards with the castle behind us.

Don’t pass this tour by if you’ve got half a day in Alicante. Yevgen is the definition of a great guide—professional, responsive, and clearly passionate about what he does. His knowledge of the area is excellent. He picks you up from various points in Alicante in a clean, air‑conditioned minibus and first takes you to Castillo de la Mola, a fascinating medieval fortress, before heading on to the winery. Unlike many tours, you actually see the vines and where the wine is produced, rather than just a tasting. I mentioned in passing that the tour was part of my birthday weekend—something most people would forget. Not Yevgen. At Castillo de la Mola, he surprised us with a bottle of Cava and opened it on the spot. Such a thoughtful touch, and it made the day feel genuinely special. The whole experience—from the sights to the vineyard—was seamless and memorable. Highly recommend.

Yevgen was an excellent guide and kind enough to pick us up at our separate hotel in Alicante before departing on the tour, and he dropped us off after the tour as well. The tour was exactly as advertised - not too long and not too short. We stopped and got a chance to walk around a church architected by one of Gaudi's students. He was also kind enough to send us some aerial photos after the tour. The wine tasting and tour included tapas and some solid affordable wines to try. (I took home a bottle of white wine.) Thank you, Yevgen!

The whole experience was wonderful. Pick up was well organised and communicated well. Yevgen was very knowledgeable and friendly giving us great insights into the region. The castle and church were beautiful and the winery tour we could not recommend more. Everything was sublime.

Yevgen is the consummate tour guide. My husband and I were on the Canelobre Caves and the Alicante Wine tours. Both tours were delightful and informative. Yevgen kept us in the loop every step of the way with photos, maps and links. I highly recommend Costa Blanca Tours!

An excellent trip with Yevgen. Such a good tour very knowledgeable knew all about the area showed us lots of interesting bits and pieces and lots of facts. The Vineyard was interesting with some very good wines. Thoroughly recommend.

Be prepared to be in a small group or just as a couple. 30 minute drive from Alicante. Wine to buy is a good price - around £7 a bottle.

This experience is a 45 minute drive to a small, local winery. The venue is beautiful, and the wines are good. All of their wines are on the dry side, which suits me quite well. There were olives, crisps, and crunchy breadsticks included as palate cleansers. There is a guided tour of the venue, going through the history of the space, which was interesting. After our time at the winery, our guide Yevgen, included a visit to the Gaudi-style church and castle across the valley. If you like wine and an easygoing experience, I recommend this one!

Had a good trip. Excellent communication before the trip and pick up on time. Small group and comfortable car/van. Church was very interesting and then a good tour of the winery. Excellent value for money.

Yevgen was a great guide. Polite, Excellent English, very informative, and an excellent driver. He kept the tour even though we ended up being the only two people that day. Highly recommend that you book with him.
