When traveling in Spain last year Sep 2019, we were looking for a customized, private wine experience that was unique. We considered Rioja and Ribeira del Duero, but instead chose a private tour of the Priorat wine region while we were in Barcelona. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. Our guide (and driver) Feliciano picked us up at our hotel. He was personable and knowledgeable about the region, history and culture and had a wonderful sense of humor to boot! He was absolutely amazing. We all fell in love with him, his wit & knowledge of wines and Barcelona of course. The staff at Rutas del Vino/Vintage Spain were extremely knowledgeable and responded quickly to our inquiries, and presented a couple of choices. Ultimately, we chose a private tour (four of us in our party) to a small,family-owned winery with a charismatic owner who turned out to be one of the pioneers of the Priorat's rise to prominence as one of the world's new great wine regions. We were greeted by Carlo, the owner of Clos de l’Obac, who proceeded to give us insight and a history of the renaissance of Priorat wines, including his personal story of how his winery grew in fame and reputation. Meeting Carlo was one of humbleness and his steadfast philosophy makes him a one of a kind pioneering winemaker. We ended with an extensive tasting in a private room and were guided through several vintages of excellent wines, with commentary from the founder along with personalized tasting menu. This was an unforgettable experience for us all. We followed up with a gourmet lunch at a rustic restaurant nearby, paired with (of course) wines from the region. We capped it off with a tasting and conversation about olive oil at an artisanal producer nearby. We grabbed a handful of cans for souvenirs, and headed back in our air conditioned van to Barcelona. Highly recommended. Sony, Wlad, Erni & Sonny- Northern California, USA

Had a fantastic time with this tour company. The guide was fantastic, knowledgeable, bilingual and a joy to explain the region's wine production. The bodega was amazing, the lunch tasty, and tour of Toledo was fascinating.
Our trip to Ribera del Duero with Jorge was fabulous! Our custom tour included everything we asked for: history, beautiful and interesting locations, and of course, excellent food and wine. Jorge is knowledgeable, caring and an excellent guide, and the staff helped us plan a perfect trip. We knew we wanted to visit this region, but did not know exactly where to go or even where to stay. Vintage Spain was easy to work with and made the whole planning process easy. All communications were clear and strait forward. They are a professional and efficient business and we would love to return and arrange another visit with their help.
My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful time visiting Spain in April 2018. While in Madrid, we did a day long wine tasting excursion with Jorge from Rutas de Vino up to the Ribera del Duero. We visited Bodegas Perez Pascuas, Valsotillo, and finished with a traditional Castillan meal of Lechazo at the Portia winery. Jorge was fantastic and the wineries we visited gave a great perspective of the region, ranging from the 500-year-old wines caves at Valsotillo to one of the founding families (Perez Pascuas) of the appellation’s DO certification to the ultra-modern wine making facility at Portia. Jorge was a delightful host and we will definitely do this again when we go back to Spain.
Perfect wine trip in Spain!
