The National Museum of Sculpture is one of the most important European museums on this discipline because of the quality of its collection, ranging from the Middle Ages to the Baroque, with a predominance of polychrome wood works: Alonso Berruguete, Juan de Juni, Gregorio Fernández, Mena, Martínez Montañés, Alonso Cano, etc. The 19th century, is represented by the plaster cast collection coming from the old National Museum of Artistic Reproductions. The historic value of the four buildings which make up the museum along the street reinforces the worthy character of the visit. The main building, Saint Gregory´s College, is one of the most singular examples of the architecture in the 15th century, next to the Palace of the Marquis de Villena, the House of the Sun and the church of St. Benedict the Elder.

A traditional family-owned winery in the downtown area of historic Tordesillas, Muelas offers a unique and fun winery tour. We learned a great deal about the local wines, and tasted a selection of the excellent Muerga wines. All led by a delightful host, one of the co-owners. Though not for the infirm or faint of heart, this was one of the most fun winery tours I've ever done. The tour starts in the bodega, what at first look appears to be a simple wine shop. As the tour progresses, however, you learn that the grapes are brought from nearby vineyards and processed entirely in the premises, in underground caves carved into the rock. Next, you are led through down a hole in the ground and narrow stairs to the level below, where the grapes are pressed. Through a set of sturdier stairs, you are led another level down, where most of the wine is aged in oak casks. But, wait, there is yet another level, that is being improved in order to expand production.

Book ahead online ~ dont just show up... We booked their six senses tour plus lunch. Absolutely worth the price! The tour was of the wine making area, not the vineyards themselves. The tour had a few stops where you do a tasting plus paired with a small tapas. Very nice. The thing that makes this place and tour A+ is the food! Yes the wine is good too! The tapas served on the tour were wonderful with a lovely chef. The lunch in the restaurant was incredible. Wonderful staff, beautiful room and really creative good food! Worth every penny!

Finca VIllacreces is located in the middle of a bicentenary pine wood and surrounded sothwards by the river Duero. A unique place that gathers together charm, tradition and an outstanding landscape. An state with 115 hectares, where the vineyards merge together with nature. A winery located in the hearth of the so called "Golden Mile of Ribera del Duero".

We really wanted to check out Finca Villacreces, the winery that produces Pruno, one of the best red wines under $20. The tour was fun, inexpensive, and added to our appreciation of Pruno and the Ribera del Duero wines. Ideally set in the middle of the Ribera del Duero's golden mile, the winery is surrounded by its picturesque vineyards, and housed in a traditional looking building. Our engaging guide explained the history of the winery, dating back hundreds of years, when it housed a monastery with winemaking monks. She also noted that the vineyards are cultivated organically, but unspecified aspects of the process prevent the winery from marketing the wine as "organic." She discussed the relevant aspects of the villacreces terroir and microclimates in the context of the Ribera del Duero region and explained the winemaking process, as she led us through vineyards and buildings. Villacreces uses steel vats and oak casks (both French and U.S.) for fermentation process, and they have started testing Spanish oak casks and cement vats. The tasting included two wines, Pruno and Finca Villacreces. Very good and better. It was accompanied by bread, jamón Iberico, and Manchego cheese. It was informative and yummy. One of the aspects that made this a very enjoyable tour was the setting, which was idyllic. The 285 acre state includes a small, 200-year old forest, and the facilities include a beautiful courtyard with an olive tree in the middle that is over 100 years old. There is also a charming chapel. The tour was inexpensive (15 Euros per person), and since we visited off season we did not need reservations. Luckily, when we checked around midday, we were told we could join another couple on a 4:00pm tour that day. Recommendation, call or email first. Finally, one of the workers at our local wine shop turned us onto Pruno by noting that its vineyards abut those of the older, more prestigious Vega Sicilia winery, and on the way out we were able to verify that indeed they are only separated by a narrow gravel road.

Las bodegas de La Mejorada y sus vinedos estan instaladas en Valladolid en lo que fue un antiguo monasterio jeronimo, fundado en el siglo XV por Fernando I de Aragon. Gracias al arquitecto Rafael Moneo y su familia, el complejo monastico de La Mejorada se encuentra hoy practicamente restaurado y adaptado a las actividades propias de una bodega. Hoy en dia es posible visitar la bodega y apreciar su maravilloso patrimonio mientras se disfruta de una cata de inclusive. Desde 2004, en Bodegas y Vinedos La Mejorada se producen unos excelentes vinos tintos bajo la IGP Vinos de Castilla y Leon —Las Cercas, Las Norias, Villalar y Tiento—, elaborados con un extremo cuidado por parte del equipo de enologos y tecnicos. Nuestra viticultura se basa en la no intervencion con productos quimicos en la gestion del vinedo, con el convencimiento de que el equilibrio del ecosistema viticola es la garantia de que plagas y enfermedades no se presenten en el vinedo.

We had the pleasure to visit Convento Oreja during our stay in Penafiel a week ago. Fernando was a very welcoming host and told us a thorough background of the history of the winery and how they proces the grapes into wine in bottles. The visit was accompanied with a private tasting. We can highly recommend a visit to this micro winery and our review of the wines is that they produce very good quality. Robles was fresh and well balanced while Crianza and Reserva had more oak and complexity to it but again very well balanced. Next time we visit Ribera we will drop by again.

This is a beautiful castle built in the 15th and 16th centuries. It is a Gothic-mudejar style castle. I could not attend the guided visit, but the exterior is just amazing, surrounded by pine trees. The entrance is free to the first floor of the castle. Do not go on Sundays in the afternoons, it closes at 2.00 p.m. on Sundays.
