Segovia: Winery Tour with Wine Tasting

The most appealing part of this outing is its scale: Las Dos Antiguas is one of the smallest wineries in Castilla y León, so you get a close look at a working cellar rather than a polished wine theme park. I like the clear, personal explanation of how both red and white wines are made, followed by three limited edition pours in a leafy Spanish patio. I also like the local appetizer, which keeps the tasting tied to the area. The main drawback is transport: the winery is in Navas de Oro, about 35 minutes from Segovia, and taxis are limited.

I especially like that the visit lasts only 90 minutes. It gives you a useful introduction without taking over your day in Segovia. Guides named Rodrigo and Alex have been praised for answering questions and making the process easy to follow. You need to plan your ride carefully, though, since there is no Uber or Lyft service in the village and the optional pickup costs €120 for up to four people.

Key points at a glance

• A tiny working winery: Visit Las Dos Antiguas in Navas de Oro, a village about 35 minutes by car from Segovia.

Why this small winery makes sense after Segovia

Segovia is famous for its Roman aqueduct, castle, and old-town streets. This excursion takes you away from those headline sights and into a rural village in Castilla y León, where the focus shifts from monuments to production, place, and food.

That change of pace is the point. At a large commercial winery, you may hear a polished presentation designed for many groups at once. Here, the small size of Las Dos Antiguas should make the cellar and its methods easier to understand. You are seeing where the wines are made and aged, then tasting the finished product in the same setting.

The winery is listed in the Community of Madrid area, but the visit itself takes place in Navas de Oro. That geographic detail matters when you plan your day. You are not walking from central Segovia to a nearby tasting room. You are making a short rural trip by car or taxi.

The price is $35 per person, which is fair for a guided winery visit, three wines, and a local appetizer. The value improves if you already have a car, since transport is not included. If you must pay for the special transfer service, the total cost changes sharply, so compare it with arranging a taxi or using your own vehicle.

Arriving at C. Real, 17 in Navas de Oro

The meeting point is C. Real, 17, at Las Dos Antiguas S.L. This is also where the tour begins and ends, so the route is simple once you arrive.

The practical issue comes before the tour. From downtown Segovia, the drive takes about 30 to 35 minutes. The village has limited taxi access, and Uber and Lyft are not available. If you are not driving, contact the winery ahead of time about pickup and return. The provider can carry a maximum of four people for €120, an extra charge that should be arranged directly.

I would not leave transport until the last minute. One booking party needed a ride arranged on the day and was accommodated, but that is not something you should count on. A car gives you the most control, though anyone driving must remember that the tasting includes three wines.

The start time varies, so check the available departure slots when booking. The scheduled visit is 1.5 hours, which makes this easy to pair with other plans if your transportation is settled.

The one-hour tour through the cellar

The first hour is a guided visit to the winery. You learn the basic steps used to produce quality red and white wine, from the early stages of production through the work of aging and preparing the bottles.

The tour also covers the winery’s story and vineyards. That local background helps explain why a small producer makes limited batches rather than trying to compete with mass-market brands. You get a sense of the care involved in a small operation, where each label represents a distinct decision about the wine.

A useful part of the visit is the explanation of the different labels. The guide describes how each one is made and what changes from one process to another. If you know little about wine, this is the kind of information that gives structure to the tasting later. Instead of simply hearing that one wine is red and another is white, you learn why they are handled differently.

The cellar is the key physical stop. You see where the wine is made and aged, rather than hearing only a general talk in a separate visitor room. The setting is modest, and that is part of the appeal. You are visiting a small producer with limited edition wines, not a factory built around large tour groups.

Guides Rodrigo and Alex have both been singled out for patient explanations and personal attention. Their approach appears especially useful for first-time wine visitors. Alex has also helped families with questions before arrival, and one family visit included a four-year-old child. The tasting is still the main event, but the visit can work for a mixed-age group if you understand that the child will not be part of the wine sampling.

Three wines and a local appetizer

The final 30 minutes are reserved for tasting three of the winery’s limited edition wines. You can expect the selection to introduce different labels and styles connected to the production methods explained during the tour.

The tasting takes place in a Spanish patio filled with trees and vegetation. This is a more relaxed finish than standing at a crowded counter. The setting gives you time to talk with the guide, ask about the bottles, and compare what you taste with what you just saw in the cellar.

An appetizer from local producers is included. That small food pairing matters because wine rarely makes its best impression on an empty stomach. It also gives the tasting a stronger connection to the village and surrounding area, rather than treating the wines as an isolated product.

You should not expect a long meal. The included food is an appetizer, not lunch or dinner. If you are planning this around Segovia’s famous food scene, keep room for a separate meal in town.

Several visitors found the wines good enough to buy bottles afterward, including one person who purchased three. Bottle purchases are not listed as part of the tour price, so think of them as an optional extra. If you find a label you like, ask the guide about it before you leave.

What the guide adds to the visit

The quality of a small winery tour depends heavily on the person leading it. Here, Rodrigo and Alex are the names connected with the guiding, and both are described as taking time with questions and explaining the winemaking process in a clear way.

That personal element is important. A short 60-minute tour can feel rushed if the guide simply recites technical terms. It becomes more useful when the guide explains what makes a good wine, how the labels differ, and why the winery uses particular methods.

You should feel free to ask direct questions during the cellar visit. This is a good setting for asking how the red and white wines differ, what happens during aging, and what separates one label from another. The supplied information does not promise a private tour or a set group size, so do not assume you will have the winery entirely to yourself.

The language options are English and Spanish. If you are comfortable in either language, you should be able to follow the tour without trouble. The experience is also wheelchair accessible, which makes the short format useful for visitors who want a seated or manageable activity, although you should still confirm any specific mobility needs before arrival.

Timing, cost, and the transport question

At $35 per person, the core visit is a good buy for anyone interested in Spanish wine. You receive a winery tour, explanations about vineyards and production, three tastings, and a local appetizer. The 90-minute length also keeps the commitment modest.

The transport can change the calculation. Driving from Segovia is the simplest option if you have a car. A taxi may work, but limited availability in Navas de Oro means you should arrange both directions in advance. The winery’s own pickup and return service costs €120 for a maximum of four people, making it most sensible for a small group that values convenience and has no other practical way to get there.

Do not choose this outing only because it is inexpensive. Choose it because you want to visit a small producer and are willing to make the trip outside Segovia. The price is attractive once you see it as a local winery visit, but it is not a central Segovia activity.

The booking terms are helpful for uncertain plans. You can reserve now and pay later, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Check the available starting times before committing, especially if you are coordinating a taxi.

Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend this tour to you if you enjoy small-scale food and drink experiences, prefer personal explanations to large presentations, or want a break from Segovia’s major sights. It suits wine beginners because the guide explains the production process from the ground up.

It also works well for couples and small groups who want a calm setting. The patio, local appetizer, and limited edition wines give the final half hour a social feel without requiring a full afternoon.

Families can consider it too, since a child was included in one booking and the visit itself is short. Still, wine tasting is the focus, so adults should decide if the activity fits their children’s attention spans.

I would be more cautious if you dislike rural detours, have no reliable transport, or want a large selection of wines and a full meal. This is a compact visit to one small winery, not a full wine-region day trip.

Practical details before you book

The meeting and return point is Las Dos Antiguas S.L., C. Real, 17, in Navas de Oro. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included in the $35 price.

The tour includes the winery visit and wine tasting with appetizer. It does not include transportation from Segovia, extra bottles, or a meal beyond the appetizer.

The guide speaks English or Spanish. The experience is wheelchair accessible. Bring a plan for getting back to Segovia, and avoid making a tight connection with another activity immediately afterward if you are depending on a taxi.

The best way to use the outing is to treat it as a small rural excursion. Allow the driving time, enjoy the change in scenery, and let the guide connect the cellar work with the three wines in your glass.

Should you book Las Dos Antiguas?

Book this tour if you want a personal, small-producer wine visit and can solve the transport. The combination of a one-hour cellar tour, three limited edition wines, local food, and a leafy patio offers solid value at $35.

Skip it if you want something within walking distance of Segovia or if arranging a ride will cost more than the experience is worth to you. For everyone else, this is a sensible way to see a quieter side of the region, learn how the wine is made, and taste bottles you are unlikely to encounter through a standard city sightseeing program.
