Wonderful. Well worth the money spent.

5.00Juanjo was the perfect host and we had a wonderful day. He customized to a couple of wineries we wanted to visit in addition to adding one that was unique to the area. We were able to take the time we needed and spend 1-1 time with the winemakers. Well beyond a simple wine tasting trip-it was educational, cultural and just plain amazing. Worth every penny.

5.00Cannot recommend enough. Juanjo is charming and informative. We spendt a wonderful day with him touring Albarino, learning about the history of the region, including the fishing industry; Had a fabulous lunch at a private home turned restaurant. Would highly recommend for any Galicia related tours.
Incredible experience and guide

5.00Juanjo was amazing! He took us to places we’d never have discovered on our own and made sure we had an authentic experience. He thoughtfully ordered ahead so we could sample the local cuisine in addition to experiencing a vast array of Albariño at three distinct wineries/vineyards. Juanjo made sure we learned the context and history of the region, met some incredibly interesting people, ate delicious food, sampled a lot of wine, and took in the beauty of the area. I have worked in the wine industry in the US for over 10 years and this is one of the best wine and travel experiences I have ever had!
Highlight of our time in Spain

5.00This was by and far one of the best experiences we had in Spain and worth every penny! Juanjo was very communicative prior to ensure we knew where to meet and how to locate him. He provided a wealth of knowledge on the region, Spain, food recommendations, and everything else we asked! The three wineries he picked were great and offered a variety of experiences and was helpful he was able to assist translating as well take us to a very off the beaten path local restaurant for lunch. To top it off he was taking pictures with his professional camera and sent after to help us capture the memories so we could stay in the moment at the wineries. Thank you Juanjo!

5.00Firstly, we had an excellent tour guide in Juanjo. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the region. He was a font of information and we really appreciated that he went above and beyond to provide a wonderful experience for us. The Albariño wine region is beautiful. The wineries we visited were all different and gave us insight into wine making in thsi part of Galicia. We had a lovely lunch in a local spot as well. I highly recommend booking a tour with Juanjo in this beautiful part of Spain.
Absolutely Lovely

5.00Juanjo is an joy to work with, he took us to three wineres and a lovely lunch under the vines. He is thoughtful and made a great itinerary for my partner and I. He helped me along with my mediocre Spanish and made the tour a highlight of our trip. I recommend him to anyone who wants to experience Albarino this way.
Special wines and so much more!

5.00We did a full-day wine tour (in excellent English, which saved us from my terrible Spanish!) with Juanjo. First, the guy is a real pro - he's not just a driver like you might get on some other bigger-group tours, he's a true local who takes pride in giving his clients the best experience possible! He knows the whole area from top to bottom, and he evolved the tour throughout the day based on our conversations and interests. Of course we had some amazing wines in beautiful settings in a variety of different wineries (including access to people and places that we never could have gotten on our own), but the local knowledge, access to off-the-beaten-path sites, and of course the excellent lunch (along with tips on how it's prepared) were all special touches that made this a truly memorable experience. We look forward to getting back to the area again to book another trip!
