Ronda wine tasting tour: Two wineries and gourmet lunch

Two wineries, two winemaking families, one long afternoon in the Serrania de Ronda

A full-day wine tasting experience in Ronda where you visit two family wineries, taste wines paired with local tapas and a three-course lunch, and meet the winemakers in their own cellars and terraces. Your personal wine guide picks you up from your Costa del Sol accommodation and drives you through the mountain range, handling all the tastings, food pairings and timing so you spend the day tasting instead of navigating. Minimum age 18.

The experience

You get picked up at your accommodation on the Costa del Sol in an air-conditioned vehicle and driven into the Serrania de Ronda mountains, where the day's first stop is a 16th-century restored convent turned winery. The owners meet you and walk you through how they rebuilt the ruin while keeping the original structure intact. The barrel room is the old chapel, with recovered frescoes still visible on the walls. You taste a selection of their wines with local tapas on the terrace, looking out over the Tajo gorge.

The second winery sits in the foothills near the Acinipo ruins, a Spanish cortijo with cellars hand-carved into the stone hillside. The winemakers themselves host you for a tour of the cellars, then a three-course meal on their terrace (weather permitting), where you taste more wines as you watch the vineyards and mountains. Free-flowing wine accompanies the meal throughout the day. If the timing works, the owners may bring out a guitar and play flamenco as the sun sets. You're driven back to your accommodation around 18:00 or when the light goes.

Your guide is a qualified wine expert who knows the winemakers personally and understands the history and traditions behind Ronda's full-bodied wines. She handles the route, the tastings, the food pairings and the timing, so you move through the day without arranging anything yourself. The vehicle is air-conditioned and the pace is leisurely. This is not a rushed itinerary.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want to taste Ronda wines directly from the winemakers rather than in a tasting room. The second winery is their home, and the meal happens on their terrace while they pour and talk about what's in your glass. The fixed itinerary and personal guide mean the day holds together without you building it.
