• Hidden gem in Spain

  If you're looking to really know and understand Spain, take this tour. One of our goals was to get to know Spain and not just do the typical Tourist things. Roy made this very memorable for us, it was exactly what we set out to do. Going to the country-side (only 45 minutes away), visiting an outstanding winery and Olive Orchard/Mineral Water estate, was amazing!!! The history and legacy of the winery and the orchard estate was what we wanted. The local people (Colmenar de Oreja), the people at the winery (Peral) and the staff at the orchard estate (Carabana) makes you appreciate the Spanish people, salt of the earth. The lunch we had in the solarium, surrounded by the gardens, running stream and trees seemed like it was all out of a classical painting. All of your senses are engaged. It is a hidden gem.

• The best tour we have ever been on.

  This is where a 5 star review does not do this tour justice. We would give it a 10+. This tour takes you to a charming piece of rural Spain largely bypassed by the normal tourist route. Firstly the winery - Boutique Petal winery. A wonderful experience- historic cellars and a very personal and informative wine tasting experience. Also the wines are excellent! The tour of the charming little town of Colmenar de Oreja was lovely. The highlight for us though was the visit to the Carabana Water estate. A wonderful restoration project where we had a tour of the museum and a lovely paella lunch in the Gardens with a view of the waterfall. After lunch you can either cycle, walk or have a four wheel drive around the estate and countryside, we chose the latter. We were also blessed to do this tour while everything was verdant. A big thank you to Roy and Carlos for a truly amazing experience!

• An amazing day!

  If I could give 10 stars, I would. Roy was extremely knowledgeable, and we learned so much. We never had a tour go so in-depth and every moment was planned with care. He took us all over the town where ethe winery was located and was a good sport about my husband being a slow walker. Every aspect of the day was perfect, from the wine tasting to the olive oil tasting and then the beautiful lunch where we ate overlooking a waterfall. This was an experience we will never forget and we’ve already told our children they need to do it for themselves.

• Great food and wine near Madrid

  This was the highlight of our trip to Spain. The tour guide Roy was very friendly and knowledgeable. We particularly loved the tour of Bodegas Peral and meeting Don Antonio the owner who told us some great stories and let us try some awesome wines. We finished our day with a wonderful paella lunch.

  

  

  

  

• A Perfect Off-the-Beaten-Path Day Trip from Madrid

  My parents and I had a wonderful day exploring the countryside south of Madrid with Roy. If you are looking to explore hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path places outside Madrid, this is the perfect tour for you! First, we went from Madrid to Colmenar de Oreja, where Roy showed us around the little town, and afterward we went for a guided tour with the owner of one of the town's wineries, La Peral. It was super interesting to hear about the development of the area and how the wine production has changed since they started. After the wine tasting at La Peral, Roy took us to visit an olive oil cooperative, where we learned about their production and tasted some of their different olive oils. For lunch, Roy drove us to visit Finca de Chavarri, an old mineral water establishment with an abandoned hotel and spa area. Roy himself is involved in the restoration project of the area, and shared interesting stories about the place. The seafood parallel for lunch was one of the best parallels we have tried in Spain in a very very long time, and the accompanied wine was delicious. Thank you for a wonderful day and for sharing a different view of Communidad de Madrid :)

  The was an amazing experience. Roy was so knowledgeable about the area. The winery was amazing, going to the subterranean wine cellar and seeing the clay pots provided an unmatched experience. Seeing a village right before a festival and experiencing the church. Then the olive oil coop and the tasting experience. Last we went to Roy's property and Carlos made a delicious paella. Then Carlos took us up the mountain and on a tour of the olive groves which were also historical battle fields during the civil war. We absolutely loved the tour. Thank you Roy and Carlos!

• Private tour Colmenar de Oreja

  This was one of the best tours we have taken. We went to a small underground winery, to a coop producing olive oil company and had a wonderful paella and visit to the private property of the tour guide Roy. The property was amazing full of history and still in the process of fixing the property. Did not disappoint and for the price you will no regret it. Go for it.

  Roy, the vineyard owner and our guide for the day, went above and beyond. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, but he also surprised our group with an extra stop for an olive oil tasting at Posito—an unexpected and delicious treat that made the day even more memorable. We started in the charming historic town of Colmenar de Oreja, exploring its preserved 17th-century Plaza Mayor and quaint alleys. Then we visited Bodegas Peral, where Antonio and his grandson hosted us with such warmth and humor. The underground cellar tour, the massive clay jars, and the engaging explanation of their winemaking process were fascinating. The tasting that followed—paired with local tapas—was so good we bought a whole case of wine to ship home! But the magic didn’t stop there. The second part of the tour brought us to the Carabaña estate, where we explored a restored hydroelectric plant, wandered through historic vineyards, visited a crumbling but beautiful old spa resort, and even saw Civil War trenches and tunnels. The scenery was breathtaking, and the stories behind each site were captivating. To top it all off, we enjoyed a riverside paella lunch with more exquisite local wine and were gifted a handmade herbal soap sourced from the estate’s very own medicinal plants—a truly thoughtful touch. Fantastic trip!
