Spring and autumn show off the vineyard; the harvest, around September, is the most special, with tastings and activities among the vines.
Check opening hours, languages and whether the visit includes a tasting before setting off.
Combine the winery with the food and the villages of Madrid to round off the day.
If you drive after the tasting, do so in moderation or designate a driver.
Something is happening in the food scene of the Madrid region. We are witnessing a real phenomenon in which gastronomy permeates everything. New culinary spaces spring up constantly in the city — specialist shops, cooking schools, food routes and, of course, restaurants — making up a lively and hugely appealing scene for visitors.

See the D.O. Ribera Del Duero →Madrid's vineyards are grouped on three fronts: Arganda, to the southeast; Navalcarnero, to the southwest; and San Martín de Valdeiglesias, in the sierra towards the San Juan reservoir. In these towns and in historic villages such as Chinchón or Colmenar de Oreja there are country houses, charming hotels and inns ideal for a winery getaway.
The capital, very well connected, allows you to sleep in the city and head out for a day of tasting. To the north, Rascafría, Buitrago del Lozoya or Patones offer mountain lodgings that combine wine, mountains and gastronomy just a few kilometres away.
Madrid is the capital of stews. Cocido madrileño, callos (tripe), gallinejas and huevos rotos call for the garnacha and tinto fino reds of the D.O. Vinos de Madrid, raised in Arganda and San Martín de Valdeiglesias. The calamari sandwich is a rite of the Plaza Mayor.
The larder adds the garlic of Chinchón, the strawberries and asparagus of Aranjuez, the melon and the olive oil of Campo Real. The malvar and albillo real whites accompany fish and cheeses, while the rosquillas de San Isidro round off any traditional meal.
The Sierra de Guadarrama, now a National Park, offers trails, peaks and the Monastery of El Paular in Rascafría. San Martín de Valdeiglesias adds a swim in the San Juan reservoir amid garnacha vineyards, a plan that unites water and winery.
Aranjuez displays its Royal Palace and gardens beside the Tagus, and Alcalá de Henares, birthplace of Cervantes, boasts its university and historic centre, a World Heritage Site. Chinchón, with its arcaded Plaza Mayor, and El Escorial complete a province surprisingly rich in things to do.
Wine culture in Madrid is ancient: the cave-cellars of Chinchón and Colmenar de Oreja, dug beneath the houses, and the anís of Chinchón speak of a tradition deeply rooted in the southeast. San Martín de Valdeiglesias preserves old garnacha vines on the foothills of the Gredos range.
The province also treasures the Monastery of El Escorial, the palaces of Aranjuez and Cervantine Alcalá, three World Heritage Sites. Museums, hermitages and popular festivals such as San Isidro weave a heritage that envelops every wine-tourism route.
The Sierra de Guadarrama and the Sierra Norte concentrate the best outdoor spots in Madrid. Valleys such as the Lozoya, with Rascafría and its Valsaín pine forest nearby, or the surroundings of Buitrago offer campsites and motorhome areas among forests and reservoirs.
To the west, the San Juan reservoir, next to San Martín de Valdeiglesias, allows camping and enjoying the water surrounded by garnacha vineyards. It is the perfect way to link mountain nature and wineries on a weekend getaway very close to the capital.
The Madrid region has different climates depending on the area, as there are differences between the capital, the Sierra de Guadarrama, the Sierra Oeste and the south of the region. In general, the weather across the region is stable on 60 percent of the days of the year.
Summers are hot and winters cold, but whenever you choose to come, you are very likely to enjoy in person one of the famous skies painted by Velázquez.
Most of the territory has a Mediterranean-type climate, from the warmer, drier lowlands to the colder, wetter mountain areas. Spring: you will find the city with its gardens and urban trees in full bloom.
The first months usually bring rain, with an average temperature in April —according to studies of recent decades— of 12 ºC, but as May advances the weather turns almost summery, with an average of 21 ºC in June, and the street atmosphere becomes increasingly lively.
