You will also learn about the hard task of recuperating the lost grape varieties that once thrived in the area.
Visitors will walk through the barrel room and learn abour their unique winemaking process. Your tour of the winery will finish with a delicious wine tasting accompanied by a selection of local tapas.
After a brake, a short drive will lead you to your second winery visit.

Your guide will explain about their winemaking philosophy, following the entire process, form the vine to the bottle, and you will soon appreciate the characteristics and peculiarities of their fabulous wines thanks to the wine tasting at the end of your visit.

Without a doubt, this is the best tour I have ever been on. Our guide, Thomas, was so friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We had the best day with him. We took a private tour of the winery, Bodega F Schatz, which included tastings of 6 organic wines + tapas. Thomas was so sweet and even carried the wine we purchased back to our van.
After the wine tour, he took us on the true “locals” tour of Ronda. He walked with us around the town, showing us the different bridges and telling us all about the history of the town. We also stopped at other scenic viewpoints, the bullring and for café at a hotel rooftop that overlooked the bullring. Afterward, he took us for Tapas at El Lechuguita, which Thomas told us is where all of the locals go. He went above and beyond to help us pick tapas that we never would have picked on our own and everything was DELICIOUS!
On the way back, he took a slightly different route down to the coast (with our permission) and showed us the Rock of Gibraltar from the distance at a beautiful overlook. It was incredible.
My friend and I honestly had the best day ever and will definitely book with Thomas again the next time we are in Malaga.

We were 12 persons on a private tour to two wineries and lunch in Ronda. Our guides were great and the arrangements at the wineries were perfect. Highly recommended!
Our tour guide Thomas was fantastic during our excursion. He even took us to an extra location! I would gladly recommend taking a trip with costa excursions and find it hard to envision anyone having a bad experience using their service.
