Add to My List Check Off

The wineries of Ribera Del Duero have undergone a renaissance in recent years. This pristinely rural area is found 120 kilometers north of Madrid, Spain and is quite often referred to as a land of extremes. The region follows the banks of the Duero River and at the heart of the region is the “Milla de Oro” (Golden Mile) that produces some of the world’s most renowned red wines from this harsh and arid landscape. Wine has been produced in this area since the Roman era and row upon row of time and weather shaped vineyards dominate the rugged countryside. Although some of the world-class wines produced here are by winemakers that have been operating for more than 100 years, the winemaking boom did not officially begin until the 20th century. There are over 250 wineries operating in Ribero Del Duero. Your dream trip to this fascinating part of Spain can include a cellar tour that includes sampling wine in a 13th century monastery and “tapas hopping” in Madrid. Local experts are available to guide you to the best of everything the region has to offer. You can stomp around the vineyards, tour the cellars and taste the fruit of this surprising terrain. You just need to add a trip to Spain to your list to experience all the Ribero Del Duero has to offer.
