The wine museum was genuinely interesting to visit, and the entrance is free, which is a nice bonus. The castle can only be visited with a guided tour, which might be a plus for those who enjoy detailed explanations. Personally, I would have preferred to explore it on my own. The view from the top platform of the castle is beautiful, but inside there isn’t much to see, as none of the original interiors have been preserved.

Nice visit to the castle. Couldn't understand much as the guide was talking really fast. But is is an nice sight to behold and well worth a visit

Beautiful castle, build like a ship with a long and impressive history There are also great views of the area from the top of it Check the opening time, we got there at around 13:30 but it closes at 14:00 so we couldn’t go in so we came back after 16:00 when they opens up again The wine museum is worthwhile a visit if anything for the smelling exercise you can do inside

You can only visit as part of a guided tour in Spanish. So a wasted journey. Anyway, the castle looks better when seen from the town We don't do guided tours unless it's somewhere very very special like the Altamira Caves

Beautiful looking castle structure with great views. I did not go in.

Wonderful views from a castle steeped in Spanish history. Long walk up steep road to access, but plenty of parking if driving at the top. €6.20 ticket for adult guided tour and entry to the wine museum.

The castle itself is wonderful and impressive, however, it turned out to be a wine tour/museum, so the only way to see the inside is on a wine tour. You cannot roam by yourself, which was a disappointment. Still feel the "touch of history" by visiting

We visited Bodegas Protos for a tour, and while the winery itself is undeniably beautiful, it was our least favorite experience in the region. The atmosphere felt quite commercial, which isn’t really our style—we tend to prefer smaller, family-run wineries with a more intimate feel. It was also the only winery we visited that didn’t seem particularly kid-friendly, which made the visit a bit less enjoyable for our family. While it may appeal to those looking for a more polished, large-scale operation, it just wasn’t the right fit for us.

Nice place to visit, where I visit by tour. Get wine testing and also free wine glass. The tour guide explained really well

Dear Protos. You have been my favourite brand for years. Therefore I bought a private tour to Your winery today. Unfortunately, I’ve also asked my private guide to buy a bottle of wine, while waiting a hour before. Then, we’ve arrived. Yes, we’ve had a half of bottle unconsumed. And that is it. We left it inside, with 2 glasses. Was it a reason to send us outside, calling police? I think no. I’ve managed to calm all emotions down, but it’s something I don’t have to do during my time, being at holidays. Therefore I ask for apology from Your command in front of me, That was really bad behaviour. BRDS, DMITRI

We took a tour that lasted about an hour and 15 minutes, followed by a wine tasting. The tour guides where extremely knowledgeable and the ambience was phenomenal. Definitely worth a stop.

Fine winery with a lot of history in their wheels. We booked the tour + wine tasting at the end. I would recommend the cellar to update the initial phase with all the audiovisual contents, they look old fashioned and kind of boring. The guides were OK, the tasting was OK, nothing out of the blue for such an iconic cellar. They should probably revamp and rethink the process, nothing to complain, but living in 2023 it's good to be updated with the time being.

Bodegas protons good history behind and very well presented, they do millions of litres wine there … you can understand where wines makers will bring the wines in the future

A must see and enjoy. The tour was great, and the Bodegas are amazing. The tour guide was very nice answering questions and teaching us about Ribera del Duero wines.

My partner and I only wanted to look around the castle on our own, but we had to do a paid tour in order to do so. The guide was good and insightful. To be honest the castle is better to look at from a far. You are not missing anything.

A nice display of historical wine production, with qr codes to scan in English. I nice visit for those wine connoisseurs

This wine museo is fantastic, very informative with a special app for English and French speaking visitors. Very detailed and impressive, & highly educational.

Good if you speak spanish, otherwise not that good

Great experience. Thanks to Alberto for the amazing tour. 100% recommended.

Love this place for wine everything

Nice...

I have to be honest and admit that I was more impressed with this plaza than with the one in Chincon. Given the whole setup for Easter, I genuinely felt transported back to medieval Spain. The ambience was awesome, not to mention the view of the majestic castle towering over the village from up on the hill. A word of caution: the bars in the plaza do accept credit cards so make sure that you have cash on hand.

Do not fail to visit this if you visit Pinafiel. The bull ring, surrounded by the most remarkable buildings. And a lovely bar which does not capitalise on its setting by charging excessively.

Incredible. The bull ring is surrounded by amazing houses. Easy to miss the gate!

I do not know why this shows the plaza is closed, but it is open for 24 hours and no tickets etc needed.

Peñafiel is a nice town just off the Duero river, but in the wine region. The plaza is very old and the location of bull fighting. I didn't go to the latter, but the venue was interesting. The castle is massive!

Beautiful, oldest bullfighting ring in Spain and in square shape. Well worth the visit

In many guide books this fantastic Plaza is referred to as the Plaza Major. Beware of this as there is a plaza mayor in Peñafiel about 300m from this one. This place is worth going to as it’s wonderful. You can walk around looking at all the old wood structure houses and imagine the years that have passed and all the other people that have done the same thing

I have visited a few wineries and Pago de Carraovejas was by far the best, it’s mostly because the quality of the wine was met with an equivalent quality of the food making it a culinary delight We started with looking at the vines (I thought we had a short time around the vines compared to other tours) and continued through every step of the wine making process, and given that the winery focuses on quality in everything they do, it was interesting to hear about how they reduce the grapes on the vines and how a gravity method allow them to promise the quality - we’ve even gone to see the labelling and storage of the bottles which you don’t always see I can’t finish this review without covering the wines and food, we tried 7 different wines and not to make it a too demanding, you try 2 wines in a barrel room during the visit and the rest at the end, each wine was accompanied with a tapas dish cooked in their Michelin star kitchen - and each sip of the wine of bite of the food was nothing short of amazing We were originally concerned that a visit that starts at 10am is too early but they’ve done it just right and it was an amazing experience I did want to buy a wine bottle to go but as a tourist I can only take a small Humber and they didn’t sell their most famous wine in less than a pack of 3, I did but it at the end at a wine store So if you like wines and love good food, do yourself a favour and don’t miss the opportunity to visit Pago de Carraovejas

A must visit if you are coming to Rebera del duero. We did the Gran cruz tour, which is the most expensive at €135 per person, but it definitely worth it. 7 incredibly wines paired with 7 individual dishes from the winery's Michelin star restaurant.

I could not find anything negative about this experience even if I tried hard. Beautiful architecture, exquisit guest treatment and deeply interesting tour of the winery. I thought I knew quite some things about wine and I left the place knowing twice as many. The story, the place, the process and of course the tasting at the end make the experience totally worth its price. We went for the 2h15 experience with 4 wines and 4 dishes at the end and we will most definitely come back for the 3h00 experience with 7 wines. You will probably come by car, so allow some time to sober up after the experience by taking a stroll or come and go by cab (not a lot of them available in Peñafiel, the closest village).

We have purchased The grand Crus of Alma when we visited the winery in the Ribera valley. The tour and the tasting of 7 wines was an amazing and unique experience. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the all aspects of the wine business but also make our tasting experience unforgettable. Highly recommend visiting when in the area. It’s well worth it.

100% recommended! The production in detail explained, they made us try several wines from their new projects and the classic ones. We highly recommend to visit them!

Apart from the grumpy and careless ladies who were checking us in, the visit “Grand Crus of Alma” was excellent. The winery is gorgeous inside out, an architectural masterpiece. The tour guide (Indre) was very knowledgeable, wines and food pairings were delicious. Of course, they don’t leave the bottles with you to finish them off (like Emilio Moro does) but perhaps it’s for the best, because otherwise we would never leave the place. My only unfulfilled wish was a cup of coffee at the end, which they did not have. But again, this is a high-end winery and their house - their rules. Thank you!

Fantastic tour by Imdre who is so knowledgeable about the history of the winery and the winemaking process. Tasted 8 great wines and took home the amazing g El Anejon! A must visit in Ribera del Duero.

Perhaps the best wine in Ribera if not Spain. Casimiro and his whole family are super welcoming. Must visit!

Great wine, hospitality and tasting with Maria Jose, Casemiro and David. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon in the midst of harvest and they went out of their way to accommodate us. We left with a couple of their best bottles 👌

Excellent experience with cosy ambiance, great attention from host & extremely elegant wine. We loved David’s detailed explanation about the bodega & the wine tasting. Very recommended to visit!

Amazing tour of this family run estate of the Ribera del Duero, I didn't really know what to expect as I didn't know their wines. We had decided to go with my wife to Penafiel at the last minute and I randomly called a few estates the day before. By calling Peñafalcón, I had María José Arranz on the phone, the wife of the director Casimiro Marcos, and to my surprise she spoke French, we agreed on an appointment and the next day we were able to visit the cellar. The visit was absolutely incredible and was organized by the son of the owners, David. The origins of the winery go back to the ancestors of the current owners, who made their wine in the old wineries, which date back to the 17th century. Peñafalcón, which was the name of the town of Penafiel in the 11th century. I really appreciate their philosophy and their approach to wine, everything is done by hand, no herbicides or pesticides are used. The wines are made with a very strict selection of grapes and they proceed to a very long aging in barrels which as a result gives absolutely remarkable wines. We tasted 3 wines which were all absolutely fabulous (100% Tempranillo), Peñafalcón Vendimia Seleccionada 5 años barrica 2009, Peñafalcón Gran Reserva 5 años barrica 2007 Peñafalcón Siglo XI Gran Reserva 2006, aged 60 months in barrel. I was stunned by the level of these wines, combining power, elegance, a beautiful mineral structure, melted tannins, with very concentrated aromas of jammy black fruits, spices and tertiary aromas. You REALLY need to go there if you ever go to Penafiel, it worth every penny. Thank you, David, for the incredible visit and for your warm and passionate welcome.

Fantastic afternoon at Peñafalcón! Really interesting tour (thank you, we learnt a lot!) and amazing wines! We were also lucky enough to spend some time with the owner, such a lovely experience. Would definitely recommend!

This is a family run small bodega for generations. Especially their Reserva and Gran Reserva are one of the best Ribera del Duero wines I've ever tasted. This is a visitable bodega, too.

Don't think I have ever tasted a Tempranillo as fabulous as I did here. Excellent stop.

Ok

(Translated by Google) Excellent actors liven up the visit. Decorated with objects from the first half of the 20th century. We visit the canteen, kitchen cellar, rooms, stable and winery. Visit included in the Peñafiel tourist card. They give you a pasta and a wine. What more could you ask for for so little money. The card currently costs 5 euros and includes 5 visits as well as a 50% discount on the visit to the Castle. (Original) Excelentes actores amenizan la visita. Decorada con objetos de la primera mitad del Siglo XX. Se visita cantina, bodega cocina, habitaciones, cuadra y lagar. Visita incluida en la tarjeta turística de Peñafiel. Te obsequian con una pasta y un vino. Que más se puede pedir por tan poco dinero. La tarjeta en la actualidad cuesta 5 euros e incluye 5 visitas además de un dto del 50% en la visita al Castillo.

(Translated by Google) A TOTALLY RECOMMENDED visit and at the same time, FUN, the actors who play Mariano and Tomasa are very good. It has been a real pleasure, remembering the habits and homes of our grandparents in a fun and instructive way. Thank you very much to all 3!!! (Original) Una visita TOTALMENTE RECOMENDABLE y a la par , DIVERTIDA, los actores que hacen de Mariano y Tomasa son buenísimos. Ha sido un auténtico placer, recordar hábitos y viviendas de nuestros abuelos de una forma divertida e instructiva. Muchas gracias a los 3!!!

(Translated by Google) The museum house is wonderful, the tour guides inside the museum are so charismatic that they explain how things worked at that time, they make you have a good time while the visit lasts and you are amazed by them, I recommend everyone to visit the museum so that they can experience those beautiful moments, you won't regret it, (Original) Maravilloso la casa museo , unos guías turísticos tan carismáticos dentro del museo q te explican cómo funcionaba las cosas en esa época , te hacen pasar buenos momentos mientras dura la visita q quedas maravillada con ellos , os recomiendo a todos a visitar el museo para q puedan vivir esos bellos momentos , no se arrepentirán ,

(Translated by Google) We bought the pass that includes several Peñafiel monuments, and the house is included. I can't attach photos of the interior because they warn you at the entrance not to photograph or film. Mariano and Tomasa's lively dramatization faithfully reproduces the lifestyle and Castilian housing of the early 20th century. We were a group of mixed ages, and both my 85-year-old mother and my 10- and 12-year-old children enjoyed it—my mother for her childhood memories, and the children because they learned. You must book at the tourist office. Highly recommended. (Original) Compramos el pase que incluye varios monumentos de Peñafiel y la casa está incluida. No puedo adjuntar fotos del interior porque te avisan a la entrada de no fotografíar ni grabar. La teatralización por parte de Mariano y Tomasa muy viva, reproduce fielmente el estilo de vida y la vivienda castellana de principios del siglo XX. Fuimos un grupo de edades diversas y tanto mi madre de 85 años, cómo mis hijos de 10 y 12 años lo disfrutaron, mi madre por recuerdos de su infancia y los niños porque aprendieron. Hay que reservar en la oficina de turismo. Muchas recomendable

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended. The setting is spectacular, and the actors are top-notch. They take you back to the 20th century in just a couple of minutes. Incredible. (Original) Recomendadísimo, la ambientación espectacular y los actores ya de diez. Te llevan al siglo XX en un par de minutos, increíble.

(Translated by Google) Definitely a wonderful experience. The house truly reflects how people lived in the past and the hardships they faced. The magnificent performances by the artists within the house make this a visit that will be remembered for years to come. Congratulations to all three of you! Based on my experience and opinion, highly recommended. (Original) Sin duda una bonita experiencia. La casa representa como se vivía antiguamente y que carencias había. Con la magnífica representación de los artistas dentro de la casa, hacen que la visita sea recordada por muchos años. Enhorabuena a los tres...!! Según mi experiencia y criterio recomendable.

Excellent wine visit with Belén as guide. The production process and wines with food pairing were well explained. We had a Spanish tour, but everything was perfectly translated. Malabrigo was our favourite wine. Thanks! (From Peñafiel, book your taxi in advance!)

An amazing experience in an amazing bodega, with truely memorable wines. A modern bodega, owned by an experienced family of vinters, this bodega produces wines which explain why Ribero del Duero is one of the favoured wine producing areas for wine lovers. Laura, our guide, was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions, taking great care of us both during the cycle ride in the vineyards as well as at the tasting. An experience not be be missed.

We had the 16 course lunch after they offered us an entire bottle of rose for aperitivo outside in a very sunny terrace. Then we had an intimate visit of the winery followed by a full 4 wines tasting. I dont know how can you spend your day better!?

Sergio was a great guide. The winery is beautiful and they show you al the process!

This tour was amazing. The bodega is modern but authentic and beautiful. Our guide was Sergio in Spanish and he was so informative. He answered all of our questions and was very professional and charismatic. He knew everything about the bodega and company. Facility was very clean. Also, the wine is amazing!

Sergio was beyond amazing, his first tour in English. Thank you for an amazing time.

It was an awesome experience. Great and detailed information by personnel. Great Wines!!!!!

Hidden gem in Ribeira del Duero!! Not only a wine shop but a wine bar with an absolutely great selection of local wines by the glass. From the simple ones to the most sophisticated. You can also taste some local tapas with your wines.

Small and friendly local wine tasting. Only place in town for tasting many wines at good prices. Even Vega Sicilias!

Great choice of wines - you can try up to 50 different wines at the bar at reasonable prices.

Great place to taste a large variety of different wines of the region accompagnied by local tapas! The many explanations and recommendations of the owner made an exciting tasting experience and gave us a great overview. Highly recommended!

it is not temp closed. Huuuge selection of Ribera del Duero inside! very friendly staff, serviced after hours. Also wine bar with many wines per glass.

We enjoyed tasting local wines at the wonderful nook at the back of the store. The owner and Marian who works there are warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. They even helped us with recommendations and bookings to visit local wineries. Definitely a highlight of our stay in Penafiel!

Very good service. Extremely friendly and generous owner (Goyo). Knowledgeable and helpful. Please visit this shop!

(Translated by Google) Peñafiel is a small town that is worth visiting calmly, a town that has played a great role in the history of Spain. Here, for example, Carlos of Navarra, prince of Viana, was born, son of Blanca I of Navarra and Juan II of Aragón and, therefore, half-brother of Ferdinand the Catholic. Carlos de Viana was, therefore, the natural heir to the Crowns of Navarra and Aragon. In Peñafiel you can also see some of the best wine cellars in Rueda, one of the oldest bullrings in Spain or important monuments, such as its castle or the church of San Pablo, both in an excellent state of conservation. The conventual church of San Pablo was ordered to be built in 1324 by the infante Don Juan Manuel, grandson of Fernando III and nephew of Alfonso X El Sabio. The convent was built on an old castle that had been built by King Alfonso X at the end of the 13th century and which was destroyed by a fire at the beginning of the 14th century. Don Juan Manuel was Prince of Villena and Lord of Peñafiel, in addition to being an important writer in the Spanish language who left various writings on chivalric conduct or history, his best-known work being 'The Count Lucanor'. He ordered the construction of a convent of Dominican monks with the idea of ​​building a funerary chapel inside, in which he would be buried after his death. It is a large church, with three naves and a polygonal apse, built with walls and basement of regular granite ashlars. It stands out, especially, for its magnificent and exuberant apse built in brick with Mudejar arches on arches and windows in the shape of lobed horseshoe arches open in the buttresses, following the classic model of the Mudejar of Castile, not as profusely decorated as the Aragonese Mudejar. Inside the church, it is worth highlighting the funerary chapel of the Manuel family, descendants of King Ferdinand III of Castile and León. This chapel was ordered to be built in 1536, two centuries after the death of Don Juan Manuel, by his great-grandson. The chapel is in the Plateresque style, which already reveals the aesthetics of the Renaissance style, decorated with beautiful plasterwork with various heraldic shields that give majesty to the whole. The chapel is located next to the main altar with a recumbent statue of Don Juan Manuel himself on a large stone urn. The complex presents as its central motif a Gothic tracery window framed by two pilasters and an arch. On the sides there are two coats of arms of the Manuel family. Admission to the church is free, although always respecting the mass schedules and the people who attend to pray. There is the possibility of a guided tour for 1.50 euros/pax, which is paid at the tourist office in the nearby Plaza del Coso. There is also a combined guided tour of this church and the Plaza del Coso with a cost of 3 euros/pax. The convent church was declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1931. A unique jewel of Mudejar Gothic that is well worth visiting in peace. (Original) Peñafiel es una pequeña localidad que merece la pena visitar con calma, una villa que ha jugado un gran papel en la historia de España. Aquí, por ejemplo, nació Carlos de Navarra, príncipe de Viana, hijo de Blanca I de Navarra y Juan II de Aragón y, por tanto, hermanastro de Fernando el Católico. Carlos de Viana era, por tanto, el heredero natural a las Coronas de Navarra y Aragón. En Peñafiel se pueden ver, también, algunas de las mejores bodegas de vinos de Rueda, una de las plazas de toros más antiguas de España o importantes monumentos, como su castillo o la iglesia de san Pablo, ambos en un excelente estado de conservación. La iglesia conventual de san Pablo fue mandada construir en 1324 por el infante don Juan Manuel, nieto de Fernando III y sobrino de Alfonso X El Sabio. El convento se levantó sobre un antiguo alcázar que había sido mandado construir por el rey Alfonso X a finales del siglo XIII y que quedó destruido por un incendio a principios del siglo XIV. Don Juan Manuel fue Príncipe de Villena y Señor de Peñafiel, además de ser un importante escritor en lengua castellana que dejó diversos escritos sobre conducta caballeresca o historia, siendo su obra más conocida 'El Conde Lucanor'. Ordenó la construcción de un convento de monjes dominicos con la idea de realizar en su interior una capilla funeraria, en la cual fuera enterrado tras su muerte. Se trata de una iglesia grande, de tres naves y ábside poligonal, construida con muros y basamento de sillerías de granito regulares. Destaca, especialmente, por su magnífico y exuberante ábside construido en ladrillo con arcos mudéjares sobre arquerías y ventanales en forma de arcos de herradura lobulados abiertos en los contrafuertes, siguiendo el modelo clásico del mudéjar de Castilla, no tan profusamente decorado como el mudéjar aragonés. En el interior de la iglesia cabe destacar la capilla funeraria de la familia de los Manuel, descendientes del rey Fernando III de Castilla y León. Esta capilla fue mandada construir en 1536, dos siglos después de la muerte de don Juan Manuel, por su bisnieto. La capilla es de estilo plateresco, que ya deja ver la estética del estilo renacentista, decorada con unas preciosas yeserías con diversos escudos heráldicos que le dan majestuosidad al conjunto. La capilla se encuentra junto al altar mayor con una estatua yacente del propio don Juan Manuel sobre una gran urna de piedra. El conjunto presenta como motivo central una ventana de tracería gótica enmarcada por dos pilastras y un arco. A los lados hay dos escudos de la familia de los Manuel. La entrada a la iglesia es libre y gratuita, aunque siempre respetando los horarios de misas y a las personas que asisten a rezar. Existe la posibilidad de una visita guiada por 1,50 euros/pax que se paga en la oficina de turismo en la cercana plaza del Coso. Hay, también, una visita guiada combinada de esta iglesia y la plaza del Coso con un coste de 3 euros/pax. La iglesia conventual fue declarada Bien de Interés Cultural en 1931. Una joya única del gótico mudéjar que bien merece la pena visitar con tranquilidad.

It's like you are part of the family. Excellent tour a d excellent wine.

Visiting Convento Oreja winery became very quickly our highlight during our tour around La Ribera del Duero. I contacted Antonio using the email address on their website requesting a guided visit with tasting for the October bank holiday weekend and he replied quickly and providing all necessary info and payment was done on arrival. The visit and tasting went for under 2 hours and run smoothly mainly due to Antonio’s pleasant nature and his passion to show the work he has put into his business for the last 20 years. The expertise and pride that shows when the owner of a small winery shows you around his own place is incomparable to any other given visit to one of the big famous wineries where you are shown by a guide and the actual focus of the visit is turned to a fancy building or a popular brand. Our visit with Antonio, was private, intimate and felt genuinely special. He adapted to our interest and replied to all of our questions sometimes more related to daily life around this part of the world and day to day business than to the production of the product itself. The surroundings are beautiful so we had great photo opportunities and Antonio invited us to try some of the local cheese. What else could you ask for? 10 out of 10. Extremely happy we found you Convento Oreja!

I learned so much about this process. Antonio has a passion for his craft and you can taste it in the wines.

Thank you for the amazing experience! This is what you get when passion and dedication come together. A family owned bodega producing highest quality red wine in the heart of the Ribera del Duero region. The owner gave us a very informative and enjoyable tour of the whole place - could not have been better!

Antes amazing place to visit to truly understand whow wine is made. The whole winery team leads you through the path of the grape, from the plant it self to the bottle. During the grape picking season you'll be able to pick the grapes from the plant and taste it's first flavor as a mosto (juice directly from the harvest). An experience that most be lived...not told.

Great place for wine tasting. You truly have a end to end experience from vineyard to mouth!

(Translated by Google) Antonio arranged the visit for six friends who were going with the idea of ​​getting to know and enjoying a family winery from the inside. Julio was the one in charge of the visit, showing the enthusiasm of someone who enjoys what he does. He explained the entire process from the cultivation of the vines to the final product. The visit was super enjoyable, even though it took us almost three hours… and of course we ended up tasting three of their wines. A fantastic experience both for the site, its wines, and for the treatment received. Thanks Julio. I recommend the visit, and even more so its wine called “Memoria”. (Original) Antonio nos gestionó la visita para seis amigos que íbamos con la idea de conocer y disfrutar una bodega familiar desde dentro. Julio fue quien se encargó de la visita, poniendo la ilusión de quien disfruta lo que hace. Nos explicó todo el proceso desde el cultivo de las viñas, hasta el producto final. La visita se hizo súper amena, y eso que se nos fue a casi tres horas… y por supuesto acabamos con la cata de tres de sus vinos. Una experiencia fantástica tanto por el sitio, sus vinos, y por el trato recibido. Gracias Julio. Os recomiendo la visita, y mucho más su vino llamado “Memoria”.

We had the best experience. We highly recommend. Great wine & even better people. Thank you Ruben & Maria.
