2.Toledo Day Trip with Winery Visit and Wine Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 177 reviews · 8 hours · from $81Best value

Travel from central Madrid to Toledo with an English or Spanish guide, tour Santa María la Blanca and the city’s key sights, then visit Finca Loranque for a winery tour, three wines, cured meats, and cheese. Guides such as Jesus, Raquel, and Elias have helped make past outings especially personal and informative.

“Started with a panoramic view point of Toledo. Then a stroll of the important parts of Toledo. Our guide, Maria is very knowledge. She was very patient and caring as my parents had limit mobility. Although this town is full with cobblestone hills, I would recommend this route to the elders since it is a small group and shorter route. We ended our tour at Finca Lotanque Vinyard with wine tasting. Best red wine we had so far in Spain.”
