The experience

How do you get to Cariñena's wineries without a rental car? This tour picks you up at your Zaragoza accommodation and drives you into the countryside where the region's 32 wineries operate. Cariñena holds one of Spain's oldest protected designations of origin, and the two family operations you visit represent the depth of that heritage. One has been making wine since 1903, the other focuses on traditional varieties like Garnacha for reds and rosés, and Macabeo for whites, selling to markets across Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Britain, Italy and China.

At each winery, your guide leads you through the production process and the vineyard itself, then sits you down for tastings of their wines and cava alongside local snacks. The guide speaks your language (English, Spanish or German), so the commentary on soil, grape varieties and the family's approach to winemaking comes through clearly. You return to Zaragoza after roughly four hours, with recommendations from your guide for what else to do with the rest of your day.
