GET OFF THE BEATEN PATH AND DISCOVER A SIDE OF MADRID FEW VISITORS EVER SEE.
This exclusive owner-led experience earns its 5* reviews for a reason. Designed for small private groups, it offers privileged access to hidden places most travelers never see.
Begin at a family-owned boutique winery, exploring centuries-old underground clay tinajas and tasting exceptional local wines. Then visit one of the world's best-preserved 17th-century plazas, its magnificent church, and the astonishing Puente del Zacatín—an engineering feat that must be seen to be believed.
Next, enjoy exclusive access to the historic Agua de Carabaña estate. Journey by 4x4 through a valley shaped by over 5,000 years of history, from prehistoric settlements to the Spanish Civil War. Discover mineral springs, forgotten spa ruins, vineyards and olive groves.
Finish with an authentic country lunch and local wine beside a lush riverside garden and waterfall.
A remarkable day of wine, history, nature and hidden Spain.
