Spain Wine Tours
Cellar Tours creates private, tailor-made wine tours across Spain, with chauffeured transport, carefully chosen hotels, winery visits, dining, and cultural experiences arranged around your interests. Whether you want to focus on Rioja, Ribera del Duero or Priorat, or combine several regions in one journey, we design the route, pace and experiences to suit you.
Spain is where Cellar Tours launched our first private luxury wine tours in 2003, and it is where many of our repeat clients have returned to visit with us time and time again. Our wine-loving guests travel with us throughout the best wine regions in the country, including Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Toro, Rueda, Priorat, Penedès, Rías Baixas, Ribeira Sacra, Txakoli in the Basque Country, Ronda, Jerez, and the idyllic green Northern region of Asturias, where we are based.
Our bespoke private tours in Spain are “door to door.” From the time your flight arrives until you depart, we take care of all of the details, meticulous planning, and logistics, so all you need to do is sit back in your chauffeured Mercedes and enjoy yourselves while we pamper you with the best food, wine, scenery, and cultural experiences Spain has to offer. Each trip is tailored to your preferences and preferred pace, and relaxation is key—you are on vacation after all!
Food is as integral to our tours as wine, and we include a varied range of contrasting gastronomic dining experiences for our guests, from high-end tables at Michelin and Repsol “sun” starred venues, to rustic chic and authentic eateries like cozy “Asador” grills, airy seafood spots, and wine country gems. Artisan cheese, premium extra virgin olive oil, and some of the best charcuterie in the world are always part of your culinary escapades in Spain.
We work with the best art and architecture guides, private chefs, professional and elegant chauffeurs, the most charming and luxurious hotels, and, of course, the top wine estates in the country.
Please tell us what you have in mind, and let us create an unforgettable custom-designed journey just for you.

Private full-day excursions, with timings tailored around sightseeing, tastings and lunch.
Genevieve has spent more than 20 years creating private food and wine journeys across Spain, Portugal and France. For these Spain tours, she draws on regular visits to the country’s wine regions, meetings with winemakers, hoteliers, restaurant partners and local guides, and feedback from returning guests. She helps travelers choose the Spanish region, itinerary style and pace that best suit their interests and time available.
Cellar Tours private itineraries include chauffeur-led transportation, carefully selected hotels, winery appointments, restaurant planning, and practical support before and during your journey.
Depending on the destination and proposal, your tour may also include private guides, tastings, special experiences, cultural visits, regional transfers, and dining reservations.
Your custom proposal will clearly show what is included, what is optional, and what is not included.
International flights, travel insurance, personal expenses, optional spa treatments, gratuities and meals or tastings not listed in your itinerary are usually not included unless specifically stated.
Your itinerary, chauffeured transportation, winery visits and tastings are private to your party
Yes, 100%. Share mobility considerations, allergies, dietary preferences, and pacing needs early so we can adapt hotels, transport, restaurants, and visits wherever possible.
For a longer, multi-day wine tour in Spain, we recommend planning 6–9 months in advance. For shorter private tours of a few days, 3–6 months is usually a good window, while for a single-day wine tour, 1–2 months ahead is generally sufficient. Booking early matters most if you are traveling in spring, early autumn, or around harvest, when the best hotels, guides, restaurants, and winery appointments can fill quickly. Many of Spain’s top producers receive visitors only by prior appointment, and some of the most sought-after estates have very limited availability. If your plans are more last-minute, do still contact us. We can often find good alternatives, though the choice of wineries, guides, and hotels will naturally be more limited.
Absolutely. Spain lends itself particularly well to tailor-made trips because there are so many different ways to put a journey together. You might want to concentrate entirely on wine, combine Rioja with the food scene in San Sebastián, travel through Ribera del Duero on the way north from Madrid, or build a few winery visits into a longer Spanish holiday. We will shape the route around your time and how you like to travel. The important thing is that it makes sense once you're there; Spain is a large country, and what looks simple on a map isn't always the best use of a day.
Usually two. Spanish winery visits can be wonderfully unhurried, and once you add lunch, there is rarely much to be gained by squeezing in too much. Three visits are possible on some days, but only when the geography and appointment times make sense. We would rather you spend an extra half-hour talking to a winemaker or walking through the vineyards than spend the afternoon watching the clock.
Both, where possible. Spain has some superb landmark wineries, but it also has an enormous number of small producers making excellent wines without much international profile. Those quieter visits are often the ones guests talk about afterward. It is worth knowing that some of the names wine lovers ask for most often — Vega Sicilia, Pingus and Álvaro Palacios, for example — generally do not receive visitors. Access varies greatly from one region and producer to another, so we build the day around the quality of the experience rather than the label's fame.
Very much so. Spain can be as straightforward or as detailed as you want. We can introduce the basics of Rioja, Sherry, or Cava to someone just getting interested in wine, or spend time discussing vineyard sites, old-vine Garnacha, aging classifications, indigenous grapes, and individual producers with a serious collector. Tell us what you drink at home and what you are curious about, and we will take it from there.
Jody Thompson, San FranciscoThe Benazuza meal was exceptional!
Truly Ferran Adria is the Pablo Picasso of food. Liked the whole olive oil day very much. Cordoba was wonderful to see and I´m glad you wrapped it in as I had never thought to go there. Nines was easy to be with, very informative. We liked her very much. Great tour, great service. You were very supportive through our whole trip. Would absolutely recommend Cellar Tours.
Jeff CzarWe hope to visit soon on our next travel plans.
Gen, Just a quick note to thank you for putting our trip together. We had the best time. Jose Maria, and guides were awesome. Hotels were top notch and reserved restaurants were exceptional. Appreciate the gifts along the way as well.
Kay WaltersOur driver Jose Maria was outstanding
He not only went way above our expectations, he was fun and made our trip even more enjoyable. The food was all delicious and the wines superb. We enjoyed the guides. Thanks again and hopefully we will travel again with your services. We have recommended you to several of our friends when we all can travel soon.
Eric Lawson-Smith, Managing DirectorOur Barcelona Wine Tours experience with Cellar Tours was tremendous.
Our weekend was to entertain our most important clients and we booked with the Cellar Tours team at the last minute. They coordinated a wonderful day for us visiting Pares Balta and Jean Leon with an amazingly lively and eloquent guide, as well as an amazing lunch at Cal Xim. Our clients were hugely impressed. To anyone considering using Cellar Tours, I would give my highest recommendation for their professionalism, obviously rich knowledge of the Penedes wine region and friendliness. One of the best days out I have ever had.
Leizle Talangbayan, Long Branch, New JerseyThank you for organizing such a wonderful La Rioja wine tour. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves...
My husband said, “…can we take a Cellar Tour of the world?” 🙂 The vehicle was beautiful; Jose was wonderful — charming and personable and readily gave interesting descriptions of the local areas we visited…when we weren’t dozing in the extremely comfortable car between winery tours. The Marques de Riscal Hotel was amazing…a real visual treat. To be surrounded by such a beautiful setting, I didn’t want to close my eyes…except that the accommodations were so comfortable and relaxing! The isolated setting was very peaceful, and the staff cheerful and friendly. Etxebarri restaurant was another gorgeous setting with incredible food. I also wanted to mention what a great resource the Pre Tour information packet was. Would definitely recommend Cellar Tours after this experience!
Jason and Gina TerryYou absolutely knocked it out of the park!
I can’t even begin to come up with enough words or descriptions for our time spent in Spain. Everyone was hospitable and welcoming, the food was fantastic, and the wine was simply to die for. We have several cases coming our way. We ate foods we never would have ordered, saw sights we would have otherwise ignored, and met people we will never forget. We laughed an immeasurable amount of times (which was much needed), napped sufficiently in the Mercedes, and absolutely fell in love with Jose Maria. Could it get any better? Thank you so much for the work you put into this trip, the small details at each stop, the thoughtful gifts along the way, and the beautiful weather that you held for us.
Tim StreeterWe had an amazing trip in Rioja wine region of Spain!
From the trek guide to the private tours, and from high-end wineries to family run shops, we appreciated the thought Genevieve put into providing a variety of experiences and how smoothly everything was executed. While it is expensive, it is worth it and we can’t wait to do another trip with Cellar Tours somewhere else in the next few years.
Lindsay RyanAnother fabulous trip!!!
Hello from Florida! I wanted to thank you for another fabulous trip!!! We had an amazing time. The wineries were wonderful, the food filling and quite a gastronomic treat and the various tour guides all exceptional!!! Our last day spent with the Chef and his wife cooking was truly great, they were fabulous hosts!! We all look forward to our next adventure with you wherever that may be, so many wonderful places to explore and wine to be drunk! Wishing you a wonderful and healthy summer.
Tom Nevins, Florida, USAYour selection of wine companies and specific bodegas were perfect.
We received a wonderful variety of types of wine and visited several sized companies. Our favorite happened to be Mr. Merino’s small bodega and his wine. It was wonderful how the selection of villages we visited met the same variable criteria as the bodegas. And the same can go for the restaurants. But, we both must say that our favorite time “eating” was our night out in San Sebastian with Andres “bar hopping” and tasting the many kinds of pinchos. We also bought on our own several of the special ingredients needed for good Spanish cooking and plan to try to make several of the dishes we ate. It will be interesting to see if we can at least partially duplicate them.
Pat and DavidThe trip flowed very well
Our driver was always on time; each day was well planned never too rushed. Palacio Samaniego is definitely luxurious! This inn has beautiful grounds, a great restaurant and some very good Scotch!! I also must mention how impressed I was with the beautiful dishes they serve their food on! Absolutely beautiful! At Cupani winery “Martin Sheen” whipped up a salad and served a beef dish that his wife had prepared. This was an absolutely fun experience. He made us feel so very much at home even with the differences in language. A great vibe and good food, excellent wine!
We loved San Sebastián. Probably one of the most beautiful cities we’ve visited. Every day was a wonderful adventure, we have so many lovely memories. This was our second tour with your company. Last year we did Italy, this year Spain. These were both amazing tours. The itinerary, guides, drivers all first class! Meals and accommodations were luxurious!! Cellar Tours is remarkable; from the very beginning when we start to plan our tour with them; we know we are in excellent hands.
William Bartels II, May 2024Our amazing tour of Spain with Cellar Tours
Our tour of Spain with Cellar Tours was phenomenal! We are experienced travelers, and Genevieve is the absolute best! We are amazed at every aspect of our trip. The wine visits are special, with special people who truly care about the experience. The hotels are the best and our driver always was respectful and fun. There is no detail that is missed. We need to be gluten-free for medical reasons, and every meal and food opportunity was amazing and GF! Wow! Even the pintxos tour with Eski was flawless! Cellar Tours is a 15 on a 10-point scale!
David Lipton, May 2024Luxury wine tour from Madrid to Bilbao
We are home, mostly recovered and catching up as best we can. So let me respond to your request.
First, we had a marvelous time. We were extremely lucky with the weather throughout and your planning was perfect. As you implied, after a day of breakfast, wine tastings with assorted snacks and fabulous lunches , dinner was either skipped or very light. Roberto was a marvelous driver, ambassador and companion; he kept us on track and made sure all of our needs were met. He is a complete professional.
The accommodations were perfect and luxurious. My wife particularly enjoyed the spa and pool at Castillo Termal. Palacio Salamaniego is a jewel box of luxury. The staff was the best.
The restaurants were amazing (food and wine). I would readily return to all. We were treated like VIPs. Not only is the presentation at Jose Maria Asador not to be missed but the charm of the proprietor greeting all of his guests is a treat.
Leticia gave us a marvelous tour of Segovia and confirmed our arrangements at Jose Maria Asador. The tour of Laguardia would not have been as enjoyable without Javier and his enthusiasm. He is really special.
The wineries were well chosen and all different. The level of English of the guides was more than adequate. Mikel speaks perfect English and I enjoyed geeking out about wine with him. I particularly appreciated that these were not huge factory wineries but more intimate enterprises. Dominio De Cair was especially educational in a new and fun way (discovering the differences between French and American oak). Lunch at Valduero was excellent and generous.
I wish I had referred more often to the keepsake itinerary, particularly the glossary of food terms which is remarkably thorough and would have helped us through Andalucia.
In short, thank you for your efforts on our behalf. We will certainly keep you in mind for future adventures. Of course you can share our comments.
Holley Malia, California, USAIt was great to make the drive because you could better appreciate how the changing landscape influences the vines/wines.
I think is a nice cross-section of varietals and bodegas but the people/families behind the wines are what really make them stand out. I’m not sure if they treat everyone the way they treated us but we really felt special. We know there is no way in the world we would have known where to go, have found the bodegas or have been welcomed into the fold or have been given access to such special and fabulous wines. My regret: that I didn’t bring suitcases of the wines home to the states!
Joy and Bill Kromer (PDG Governor 1997-1998), KansasYou have made Spain come alive for us!
All your planning has paid off for a tour we will never forget. Thank you for a job well done!
Julie Seever, NebraskaOverall a wonderful and special trip, thank you! Loved it!
Great memories abound from a variety of experiences of Northern Spain. My tasting cup “overfloweth!” Our guide, Pepe (Jose) was absolutely perfect! Great driver, too! They are the true ambassadors of Spain! Very happy that we were able to cover so much of all three wine regions. Loved the passion they all exhibited for their land, history, and winemaking. Many luscious wines were savored at all the private tours and tastings. Private tasting is the only way to be introduced to great wines. We all will recommend your tours with the highest of praise and already have! Hope we can plan another tour with Cellars Tours sometime soon perhaps in the Loire Region of France.
Nathan JosephWe can't wait to travel with you again
Hi Genevieve, we have just returned to Madrid after six very enjoyable days. Roberto was a skilled and safe driver throughout; we think he is the best driver we have had. The wine hosts were all excellent. The host from Roda was a standout because she was so personable and such a lovely person. The hotels were all excellent. We really loved our stay at Hotel Palacio Samaniego best of all. The breakfast at Castilla Termal Monasterio was very memorable; the selection of food was extraordinary. The tour guides that we met on our trip were also excellent.
