For old-vine Garnacha, choose Bernabeleva. For wine and a day in Chinchón, start with Bodega del Nero. For clay tinajas and historic cellars, look at Jesús Díaz. The best wineries near Madrid offer quite different experiences, so the first decision is the kind of day you want.
This is Madrid Wine Country’s editorial selection from the wineries featured on our site, each with its own video on our site, selected for its wines, setting, cellar traditions, and visitor experience. It is a guide to finding a good fit, not a points-based ranking. We also arrange private visits and wine experiences.
