Very informative winery visit

We were met by Fernando, the owner of Bodegas Vegalfaro who proceeded to give us and very detailed and informative tour of the vineyard and winery, followed by a tutored tasting of 5 wines that they produce (1 Cava, 1 white and 3 red). All in all our group of 8 were very satisfied with our visit and thought it was very good value.

Great tour with the fantastic owner

Adorable Rodolfo and organization and the place and everything ! Not too technical so you don’t get “bored”, but the owner was open to questions of any kind! The wines are fantastic and so was the crowd (other Spanish-speaking visitors, we were the only ones speaking English, and felt super comfortable and welcome). No matter where you come from, even if you are local, this is a must see HIGHLIGHT !!!! Some really magical things and connections happened here and that is going to be remembered for many years ahead of us… muchas gracias !
