Our two days of private touring in Ribera del Duero were spectacular. Bruno is incredibly knowledgeable, charming, flexible, and professional. His relationships with wineries and winemakers made our in-depth visits and tastings top-notch in terms of both quality of wines (and food!) and education. Thanks to the diversity of wine venues we visited in two days, we have a new appreciation of this special region's wines as well as an understanding of their unique historical and agricultural underpinnings. I have already recommended Bruno to interested oenophiles, and will look forward to future opportunities to travel, taste, and learn with him!

Our guide Bruno was the best one can have. He was informative, high energy and passionate about the region. He wanted us to have the best Ribera experience and we did. He even took the opportunity to throw in a surprise visit to a cellar based wine maker where we tasted some of the wine. Overall an excellent day in Ribera thanks to Bruno

Sancho took us around to some great wineries for visits and tastings with the owners, that included an excellent lunch. Sancho was punctual and professional and made the trip enjoyable! Highly recommend

Bruno is a knowledgeable, patient host and educator. I had the opportunity to tour a number of wineries with him in Ribero del Duero, Toro, Rueda and Cigales. He has the ability to arrange dinners and Tapas visits, a bar-b-que, starred restaurants, probably whatever you might custom request. Our visit was several days a there was always enough time and something new. He will show you the greatest of the greats and budget quality as well with all in between. I give him the highest possible recommendation.

I participated in a week-long tour of four wine regions in Northwest Spain with Tempranillo Wine Tours: Rueda, Ribero del Duero, Toro, and Cigales. The experience was phenomenal. Each day, of course, included winery tours and tastings. They ranged from large and traditional to very small family production facilities -- but all involved very personal and extensive learning opportunities about the winery and the wine itself. The winewas everything from classic production according to the appellation to some excellent and unusual creative winemaking. I particularly enjoyed that we got to speak with and learn from so many female winemakers, a bit of a rarity in Spain as in most winemaking regions. Other activities and experience rounded out a truly unforgettable week. From the castle and beautiful ancient architecture of Segovia, to the cheese factory and farm and getting to hold a baby lamb, to traditional Spanish musical performances, there were surprises and delights every day. The food all throughout the trip was spectacular, ranging from a memorable and delightful experience at the Michelin-starred Botica de Matapozuelos, to an old and beautiful family-run underground restaurant serving suckling lamb cooked traditionally, and a world-famous tapas restaurant. Bruno, our travel director, was warm, deeply passionate about this region of Spain and his deep roots and deep relationships made for a very special travel experience and one I would never be able to replicate on my own.
