This was by far my most favorite tour we took in Spain. It was just a one on one tour with our guide Marta. She was absolutely amazing and the two women run wineries we saw were so different and unique. Highly recommend!
It was great and fantastic tour! Our guide, driver, and winery owners are so nice and the tour was very informative. We all enjoyed wines and tour itself. Highly recommended.
It’s wonderful to be able to learn first-hand from the owners of the wineries themselves and share impressions. Two wineries with personality, each driven with pampering and much work so that we can taste their excellent wines. And much credit also to the guides (in our case Juan José and Ignacio), who strived at all times to make our visits the most pleasant. 100% recomendable.
Marta was a fantastic guide and she took us to two quite different but very different wineries. The first was a small family owned winery and the second was a much larger operation. The wines we tried were great quality and very generous as well. We would love to take another tour with Marta.
We were met by Marta, our guide, who took us to two wineries in the area. Marta was a superb guide while travelling around the area, and we had two great guides who worked at the wineries. The tastings were really enjoyable, but it was also nice to have a tour of each venue and learn something about the wine-making process and the buildings. Visiting the cellars etc was fun. Of course, we bought something to take home and remind us of our fantastic day out!
What an interesting time spent with Jorge! He picked us up from our hotel and we drove out of Zaragoza to 2 very different wineries, tasting a varity of wines at each place. Along the way Jorge shared his passion and knowledge of all things wine :). A memorable experience for sure!
We had a wonderful time with Jorge - he picked 2 fabulous winery’s to tour. We enjoyed every aspect from the car ride to tasting the wine. He was a great host and clearly has a passion for what he does. I would do it gain and recommend you book a tour with him too. Enjoy!
Jorge is a wonderful guide he's extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. It was truly a blessing to have him show us two beautiful wineries of one of the best Vineyard areas of Aragón.
Our experience was incredible. Jorge was a friendly and very knowledgeable guide. We’re were picked up on time and fortunate to have a small group of four people total (along with Jorge). The two wineries we visited were quite different, which was delightful. Great history of the region and the wineries and even greater wine, accompanied by bread, cheese, jamón. We were not rushed at all and had a great time asking questions about the process and even the corks. I would highly recommend this adventure with Jorge.
Jorge was excellent. Was prompt, personable, and made the tour very interesting. I would recommend him to anyone. 10/10.
