Guided tour glass in hand with wine tasting directly from the barrel

About this tour

Spend 90 minutes at Dominio de Cair exploring how this Spanish winery approaches viticulture and production. You'll walk through the cellars with a guide, taste straight from oak barrels to understand the wines mid-fermentation, then settle in to sample three finished wines paired with a substantial charcuterie and cheese spread. It's a hands-on introduction to what makes their approach distinctive, without the usual tasting-room formality.

Highlights

• Barrel tasting while wines are still developing
• Three finished wines tasted and compared
• Gourmet charcuterie and cheese pairing included
• Behind-the-scenes look at production philosophy
• Small-group cellar walkthrough with knowledgeable guide
• All fitness levels welcome

What to expect

You'll start in the barrel hall where the guide walks you through the winery's philosophy and approach. Tasting directly from the barrels gives you a sense of wines in progress—how they change and develop. After that exploration, you move to a tasting area for three wines to try properly, each paired with substantial snacks: cured meats, cheeses, and other Spanish smallgoods. The guide is there to explain what you're tasting and answer questions. It's educational but relaxed, the kind of place where curiosity matters more than wine knowledge.

Good to know

Wear comfortable shoes for walking the cellars. The tasting portion is indoors and leisurely. Children and infants are welcome; prams work fine for the tasting area though the barrel-room walkthrough is narrow in places.
