From exploring one of Spain's most extraordinary historic squares to descending into ancient wine caves and enjoying a private winery visit with its owner, you'll discover a side of Madrid that few visitors ever experience.

Private Pick-up in Madrid
Your guide will meet you at your hotel before heading into Madrid Wine Country, where vineyards, olive groves and rolling hills replace the city skyline.
10:15 AM
Discover Colmenar de Oreja
Begin your morning in one of central Spain's most beautiful wine villages.
Walk through its charming historic center before arriving at the remarkable Plaza Mayor, one of Spain's most distinctive squares. Built into the natural hillside rather than on flat ground, its elegant arcades, terraces and stone balconies create a setting unlike any other in the country.
Continue to the historic Puente del Zacatín, a beautiful stone bridge that once connected the village's commercial quarter and offers wonderful views over the surrounding countryside.
11:15 AM
Beneath Stone & Vine
Descend into a network of centuries-old underground wine cellars carved directly into the limestone beneath the village.
These naturally cool caves preserved wine long before refrigeration existed and remain one of Madrid Wine Country's greatest hidden treasures. Walking through them offers a fascinating glimpse into generations of local winemaking traditions.
12:15 PM
Private Winery Experience
Enjoy a private visit to one of our favorite boutique wineries, where you'll be personally welcomed by the owner for an intimate tour of the estate and cellar. Learn how family traditions, modern techniques and native grape varieties come together to produce wines with a true sense of place.
Your guided tasting includes a selection of elegant white, rosé or traditional clarete wines, together with expressive reds crafted from local varieties such as Garnacha, Malvar, Albillo Real and Tempranillo, depending on the season.
You'll also discover the traditional sobre madre method, where wine rests on its fine lees to develop greater texture, complexity and freshness.
The tasting is accompanied by a selection of local artisan cheeses and homemade cured meats, carefully chosen to complement the wines.
2:15 PM
Traditional Lunch in Chinchón
Continue to the beautiful village of Chinchón, where you'll enjoy lunch at one of our favorite traditional restaurants.
Choose between slow-roasted Castilian lamb from a wood-fired oven or authentic Spanish paella, served with local wine and seasonal specialties in a relaxed countryside setting.
13:30–15:00
Long lunch at Plaza Mayor
A reserved table in the heart of the square. Seasonal local cuisine, time to linger, and space to absorb the rhythm of the place.
3:45 PM
Explore Chinchón
After lunch, enjoy time to wander through Chinchón's famous Plaza Mayor, browse local artisan shops or simply soak up the atmosphere of one of Spain's most picturesque villages.

Places to visit
Beneath Stone & Vine is a carefully paced day designed for travelers who enjoy depth, rhythm, and atmosphere.
You will walk through a historic wine village where cellars lie beneath the streets, descend into limestone caves where wine rests in silence, and taste wines in the places that shaped them. The day opens gradually, pauses
generously at lunch, and concludes with a second winery that offers a different expression of Madrid’s landscape and style.
The group remains intentionally small, allowing conversation, curiosity, and time to breathe.
Places to visit
In Madrid Wine Country, experiences are not designed to impress.
They emerge naturally from the land, the season, and the people who open their doors.
Some last an afternoon. Others stretch into the evening.
All leave a mark.
between villages and open land
A slow journey linking small villages, open landscapes, and everyday rural life. Time spent walking, sharing simple food, and understanding how the land shapes the rhythm of each place.
along hills, orchards, and old roads
Following quiet roads through hills and orchards, this route moves at a natural pace. Stops are shaped by season, local producers, and moments that invite pause rather than performance.
Through stone paths and quiet valleys
A route defined by terrain rather than itinerary. Stone paths, shaded valleys, and long views create space for conversation, observation, and a deeper sense of place.
Where food, land, and craft meet
An experience centered on local kitchens, small workshops, and agricultural practice. Hands-on, unhurried, and rooted in how things are grown, made, and shared.
