Wine has become the soul of the attractive route that runs through the Ribera del Duero, a Castilian region endowed with one of the great wine channels. Following the river, you cross fields lined with vines and towns that combine aromas, gastronomy and historical heritage. This is the land in which the wines of the Ribera del Duero designation of origin are made, one of the most prestigious in the country, which includes traditional wineries and others with avant-garde architecture.
In the middle of Castille y Leon, a land of wheat fields, feudal castles and Romanesque churches, Toro is a fascining historic town. Its strategic location gave rise to it being a site of conflict during all the Middle Age, a court of kings and the capital of the province in the 19th century. The legend has it that the medieval clock tower in Toro was built with a mortar that was made with cement, sand, and the local red wine. Seemingly, as far as the townsfolk were concerned, there was so much Tinta de Toro on hand that they saw it pointless to walk downhill of few hundred metres to the Duero River banks to collect water to moisten the paste.
Olive oil and wine private tour at Emina Rueda winery
The visit to Emina Rueda winery offers a wonderful opportunity to discover all the secrets of the Verdejo grape variety, native to the Rueda area and safe value when it is time to order a white wine in any restaurant in Spain. Here it is a combined tour, with the visit of the first organic oil mill in Castile and Leon, Oliduero, closed to the winery. Its Extra Virgin oils offer an interesting pairing with the wines of the D.O. Rueda.
The experience includes the visit to the Oliduero oil factory, the visit to Emina Rueda winery and the guided tasting of the wines Emina Verdejo and Emina Verdejo Fermentado en Barrica, and two Extra Virgin olive oils by Oliduero.
In the city of Tordesillas, a historic crossroads, you will find this ancestral home in the shelter of a dense pine wood and a well-kept garden, in a spot where nature offers the best scenery. The architecture and décor of the house are predominantly Castilian in style. The gardens and other spaces invite visitors to rest and relax in a peaceful atmosphere. You can also enjoy the Turkish bath, hot tub, heated swimming pool, sauna, gym and children's play area, making the Parador your perfect destination.
You won't want to leave Tordesillas without visiting its most emblematic buildings, the Casas del Tratado (Treaty Houses), located on a high spot with a view of the Douro River, next to San Antolín Church. The houses are two connected palaces dating from the 15th and 17th centuries, and they have been declared a site of cultural interest. One of them, the older of the two, was the location of the signing of the famous Treaty of Tordesillas, with which Spain and Portugal divided up the territories of the New World.
There are a number of leisure options available in the area around the city. You will find locations offering karting, paintball and ATVs within just a few kilometers. If you like river-based tourism, you can navigate the Pisuerga River and Catilla Canal, located 45 km away. Another option is winery tourism, as Tordesillas is near four of the most important designations of origin in Spain: Rueda, Toro, Ribera del Duero and Cigales.
