Really lovely tour with Stephanie, very knowledgeable and helpful guide. The bodega is amazing, so peaceful and back to nature. The wine tasting was very nice and informative, we came away with a few bottles of wine from the shop. I would highly recommend the tour at Cortijo el Cura.

We were going to buy their wine, we tried it at New Year's Eve dinner and we loved it. We were lucky enough to arrive just in time to join a visit. The visit and their wines are worth it. Thank you for your kindness.
