★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 108 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $146

Half-day two-winery tour from Valencia in Utiel-Requena, with private transport and English tastings at two very different estates.

“This was a great half day tour to a less well known wine region of Spain. Elise was our guide and everything ran very smoothly. The tour itself was really well structured (we got to visit one of a larger wineries followed by a family winery) and Elise was excellent at facilitating the wine tastings. Her wine knowledge is very impressive and her tour would definitely be enjoyable to more seasoned wine appreciators as well as those who are just beginning to learn or simply enjoy a good glass of wine. Highly recommend this tour & Elise as your guide.”

A word is advice, come with an appetite & skip breakfast so you can enjoy all the foods offered on the tour. Alex is a native of Valencia, & very informative & passionate about Valencia. She also gave us great advice & suggestions for other activities &…”
