Winery tour and guided tasting in Peñafiel itself, at Protos or at the family winery Peñafalcón · 2 h · from €30

Peñafiel is the centre of the Ribera del Duero, and the Town Council lists more than sixty wineries that can be visited in and around the town; in 2024 and 2025 it was recognised as the best wine-tourism municipality in Spain. The designation of origin was born on 21 July 1982 and extends about 115 km along the Duero, through Soria, Burgos, Segovia and Valladolid. Its main grape is tempranillo, which they call tinta del país or tinto fino here and which makes up 95% of the vineyard. These are two that receive visitors in the old town of Peñafiel itself, without taking the car out to the vineyards.
Bodegas Protos
Bodegas Protos, at the foot of the castle, at Calle Bodegas Protos 24-28, shows its underground ageing cellar and the new winery designed by Richard Rogers and Alonso Balaguer. Everything is booked online on its wine-tourism website. For 2026 it offers two visits. The “Denominaciones” lasts an hour and a half, with a tasting of three wines (Protos Clarete, Protos Cuvée and Protos Serie Privada), an appetiser and a gift: €30 for adults and €10 for children aged 4 to 17. The “Grandes Vinos” lasts two hours, with a tasting of four high-end wines (Protos Clarete, Protos Verdejo Reserva, Protos 27 and Carroa), an appetiser and a gift, for €50, adults only. Groups of more than 20 people should enquire separately, and capacity is limited. The visit can be changed or cancelled without charge up to 48 working hours beforehand; otherwise it is charged in full. Its shop is open on Saturdays from 10:30 to 14:30 and from 17:00 to 20:00 and on Sundays from 10:30 to 14:30. With the visit you can also book a menu at its restaurant, the Ágora de Protos, in the house's first winery, from 1927.
Bodegas Peñafalcón
Bodegas Peñafalcón is a family winery at Calle Pisuerga 42, whose ancestors were already making wine in 17th-century presses. The visit, of about two hours, tours the facilities with the history of the house, the winemaking and old farm tools, and ends with a guided tasting in which the colour, aroma and flavour of each wine are analysed. The special one costs €30: three wines aged two, three and five years in barrel, with a traditional appetiser and a gift glass, and you can repeat the wine you like best. The VIP, at €60, tastes three wines of the 2006, 2007 and 2009 vintages. There is also a luxury visit for a minimum of two people, at €500 per person, with five wines and milk-fed lamb chops roasted over vine cuttings. It has no fixed hours: ask for a day and time on the form on its website or on 625 184 871.
Practical tips
Always book in advance, especially at weekends and at harvest time; the 35th Peñafiel Grape Harvest Festival was from 2 to 4 October 2026. The visits are for adults, although Protos admits children from age 4 on its basic visit. If you are driving, pick someone in the group who does not drink or stay overnight in Peñafiel, for example at the AZZ Las Claras. To understand the designation beforehand, the Provincial Wine Museum, in the castle, offers a tasting at weekends.
