We went with a party of 5 from our vacation in Marbella and had an amazing experience. Alejandro was very knowledgeable and we learned about the wines and history of Ronda. The winery is stunning, we tasted several wines and enjoyed the local tapas. We also purchased wine, olive oil and socks! I highly recommend visiting

Guided tour by Alejandro. It was a great experience as he told us all the history of Ronda related to winemaking. In addition, the visit ends with a tasting of the three wines (1 white, English oak and black payoya) marinated with local products. I recommend the visit 100%.

This was an absolutely stunning experience for me visiting La Melonera. Alejandro is truly passionate about what he does and shared a very interesting story about the wine region and the winery itself. He also provided many fascinating insights into cheese and jamón production, as well as the best spots to visit in Ronda. The place is so beautiful; it would be a perfect venue for a celebration or event if you consider one. Thank you so much for having me despite my late arrival.

After having tried several tastings in different wineries, the experience with Alejandro at La Melonera has exceeded all my expectations. Despite the bad weather and the fact that there were no other people signed up, they welcomed us with open arms and we were able to enjoy an individual and personalized visit. The setting is spectacular, the winery has a special charm and Alejandro's explanations add a unique value that makes this experience unforgettable. To top it off, the tasting is accompanied by high-quality tapas. Without a doubt, a highly recommended experience!

We really enjoyed it, I didn't expect it to be so complete. Alejandro gave us a very comprehensive overview of the harvest and the winemaking process, in addition with a lot of history and quite interesting details that made this visit magical. Not to mention the final tasting. All 10. Thank you.

It's amazing! Alejandro was the one who gave us the tour... super good, lots of educational information not only about the farm, but also about the history of the region and the delicious wine from the town. Aside from the fact that the vineyard is beautiful, the wine is delicious! I definitely recommend it.
