I enjoyed his stories, his wine expertise, and his clear enthusiasm for Spanish food and drinks. I also appreciated his recommendations for Madrid and Bilbao. The Bilbao bars were terrific.”

The wine was spectacular. Antonio our guide was very knowledgeable about wine production, tasting and history. The restaurant he picked was excellent and off the beaten path. Loved every minute of our time and group.”

After free time for lunch, visit Finca Loranque for three wines, cured meats, cheese, and a close look at Spanish winemaking.

“There is so much to see and do in Toledo that you would need several days as opposed to a one day trip.

She was great overall throughout the tour. Kuddos to…”
