Jimena was a very good guide. She was knowledgeable about wines and informed us of many aspects of Spanish wine. She asked us our thoughts about wines before and after we tasted to get a sense of what we would like. The 2 wineries were very different but both were interesting to learn about. All the wines were good quality.

My friend and I were visitIng Madrid for a week in late November. We booked three wines tours during our stay and this was by far the best. Jimena was so friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful during our time together. We absolutely loved this trip and highly recommend it.

We had an amazing time. Jimena was an awesome and knowledgeable tour guide. We got to experience the culture and traditional methods of growing and processing wine. The wine was excellent and the people even better. We have traveled the world and this was one of the most memorable experiences.

This was my first time visiting bodegas (wineries) and it was a very nice experience. We visited a traditional bodega and a more modern one. Both with very good wines. Been living in Madrid for a couple of years and really recommend it if you are visiting and want to get a sense of local wines.

Luckily, we got a private wine testing tour with Jimena as our guide just for two of us(!) to visit a very nice and friendly family owned winery near Madrid on a beautiful sunny day in September 2019. Pickup/drop off locations were very close to our hotel. Jimena was waiting for us, so we hoped into her car and headed to the winery. During the ride Jimena told us about wine making in general, nuances of making wine in Spains, art of wine drinking, so when it was time for us to actually taste the wine, we knew how to do it right. The family that owns the winery was very friendly, too, and also shared lots of interesting details about wines they make and wine making processes. They also prepared a few plates of different tasty tapas for us to complement the wines we were tasting. We liked all the wines we tasted, so we ended up buying a bottle of our favorite one (the Ester) to bring home. We had a really good time there, cheerful and colorful, as the wines we tasted. Thanks so much, Jimena, for the wonderful wine tasting tour! Salute!!!
