Segovia: Winery Tour with Wine Tasting

The appeal here is the small scale. Las Dos Antiguas is one of the smallest wineries in Castilla y León, and the visit focuses on its own wines, cellar, labels, and methods rather than on a large commercial operation. You get a close look at how limited-edition bottles are made in the village of Navas de Oro.

I like two things in particular: the clear, personal explanations from guides such as Rodrigo and Alex, and the tasting of three wines with an appetizer sourced from local producers. The patio, filled with trees and plants, gives the final half-hour a pleasant Spanish setting instead of a sterile tasting room.

The main drawback is transport. The winery is about 30 to 35 minutes from central Segovia, taxis can be limited, and Uber and Lyft are not available. If you need the winery’s pickup service, it costs an extra €120 for up to four people.

Key points to know before you book

• A village winery, not a large wine estate: You visit a very small producer in Navas de Oro, where the focus is on limited-edition wines and hands-on explanation.
• A useful one-hour cellar tour: You learn about red and white wine production, the winery’s story, its labels, and the aging process.
• Three wines and a local appetizer: The tasting is part of the experience, not an optional add-on, and takes place in a leafy Spanish patio.
• Guides may include Rodrigo or Alex: English and Spanish tours are offered, with clear explanations and time for questions.
• Plan your ride before leaving Segovia: You need your own car, a taxi, or the winery’s paid transfer service.
• Good value at $35: For 90 minutes of guiding, cellar access, three wines, and food, the price is fair if you are interested in how wine is made.

Why this tiny winery near Segovia feels different

Many winery visits are built around grand buildings, broad vineyards, and a polished visitor center. This one takes a smaller, more personal route. Las Dos Antiguas operates in Navas de Oro, a village roughly 30 to 35 minutes by car from Segovia, and the attraction is the chance to see how a small producer handles its own wines.

I like that the visit does not try to hide the work behind a finished bottle. You learn about the steps involved in making both red and white wine, then see the cellar where the wines are produced and aged. That makes the tasting more useful. You are not just sipping three wines and trying to guess which fruit you detect. You have some idea of what happened before the wine reached your glass.

The winery’s limited-edition approach also changes the mood. You are not being shown a huge catalog of mass-market labels. Instead, the guide introduces the different labels and explains how separate processes lead to different wines. If you enjoy small producers and bottles that are not designed for every supermarket shelf, this is the right kind of stop.

Arriving in Navas de Oro from Segovia

The meeting point is Las Dos Antiguas S.L. at C. Real, 17, in Navas de Oro. From central Segovia, allow about 30 to 35 minutes of driving time. That short distance on a map still matters because this is not a walkable side trip from Segovia’s old town.

If you have a rental car, the visit is straightforward to pair with a wider day in the area. If you are relying on public transport or taxis, make the ride arrangements before the tour day. Access to taxis is limited, and there is no Uber or Lyft service in the area.

The winery can arrange pickup and return for a maximum of four people, but the extra charge is €120. That is a serious add-on compared with the $35 tour price, though it becomes more reasonable when divided among four people. For one or two people, compare that fee with the cost of arranging a taxi independently.

I would not book the tour first and worry about transportation later. The winery is in a village, not in central Segovia, so your ride is the one practical issue that can turn a pleasant outing into a stressful one. Contact the provider ahead of time if you need help arranging transport.

The first hour: from winery story to working cellar

The guided portion lasts about one hour and begins at the winery. You learn about the history of Las Dos Antiguas, its vineyards, and the way its wines are made. The emphasis is on explanation, so this suits you if you like understanding the process rather than racing through a photo stop.

The guide covers both red and white wine production. That is useful because the two styles involve different choices, and the visit gives you a framework for noticing those differences later during the tasting. You also hear about the winery’s different labels and the steps used to create each one.

The cellar is a key part of the visit. You see where the wine is made and aged, which connects the technical talk to a real working space. The information provided does not promise a large production floor or a long walk through extensive vineyards, so you should expect an intimate winery tour rather than a grand estate visit.

That distinction matters. A big winery can show you scale. Las Dos Antiguas gives you a closer sense of the decisions behind a small batch. The guide can explain the care involved in producing limited-edition wines, and you can ask questions about the labels and methods without the visit feeling like a conveyor belt.

Guides named Rodrigo and Alex have both received strong praise for explaining the process clearly and responding to questions. You should still confirm your preferred language when booking, since the available languages are English and Spanish.

The final 30 minutes: three wines in a Spanish patio

The tasting lasts about 30 minutes and includes three wines from the winery. You also receive an appetizer made with products from local producers. That combination makes the $35 price easier to justify, especially when you compare it with the cost of buying three separate wines and food on your own.

The setting adds character. The tasting takes place in a beautiful Spanish patio with trees and plenty of plant life. It is a much more relaxed finish than standing around a counter in a shop. The patio is also a reason to consider the experience as a small cultural outing, not only as a technical lesson about wine.

You will taste limited-edition wines connected to the labels and methods described during the tour. I like that the tasting follows the cellar visit. You first hear how the wines are made, then try the results while those details are still fresh.

The appetizer is not presented as a full meal, so do not book this as a substitute for lunch or dinner. It is a local bite to accompany the wine. If you have a large appetite, plan another meal before or after the visit.

The tasting is also a practical moment to decide if you want to buy bottles. Several people have chosen to purchase additional wine after trying it, including one visitor who bought three bottles. Buying wine is not listed as part of the package, so consider it an optional extra rather than an expected part of the tour.

What the guides add to the visit

A small winery depends heavily on the guide. In a major wine museum, the building and displays can carry part of the experience. Here, the guide’s explanation is central.

Rodrigo has been praised for walking through each stage of the winemaking process. Alex has also been praised for answering questions, sharing the story of the winery, and offering practical tips about what makes a good wine. Those details suggest that the visit is more conversational than scripted, though the exact guide depends on the date.

That is good news if you are new to wine. You do not need to arrive knowing the difference between every production method or label. The tour is designed to explain the basics of red and white wines and show how the winery’s own choices affect the finished bottles.

It also works for people who already know wine but want a small-producer perspective. You can ask about the labels, aging, and production steps. The experience is not described as a formal professional tasting course, so do not expect advanced certification-level instruction. Think of it as a friendly introduction with access to the people behind the bottles.

The language choice is English or Spanish. If your group needs English, select or confirm it in advance. The strong feedback for the clarity of the explanations is one of the best reasons to choose this winery over a generic tasting stop.

Is $35 a fair price?

At $35 per person, this is a reasonable buy for the right visitor. The package includes the winery visit, a one-hour guided tour, three wines, and an appetizer. It does not include transportation, which is the main cost that can change the total.

I see the value in three parts. First, you get access to a very small winery, not merely a retail tasting. Second, the guide explains the production process and the winery’s labels. Third, the tasting takes place in a pleasant patio and includes local food.

The value is weaker if you only want a quick drink near Segovia. You will spend extra time and possibly extra money reaching Navas de Oro. If you have no interest in wine production, the one-hour tour may feel longer than the tasting itself.

For wine fans, couples, and small groups, the cost is easier to defend. A group of four that uses the paid transfer service would pay more overall, but could split the €120 transportation charge. A solo visitor may find the transport fee harder to absorb.

The free cancellation policy, available up to 24 hours before the start, gives you some flexibility. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if your Segovia plans are still changing. These policies do not solve the transport issue, but they reduce the risk of booking too early.

Who should choose this experience?

I would recommend it to you if you want a personal introduction to Spanish wine outside the most visited city sights. It suits people who enjoy small businesses, local food, and hearing the story behind a product.

It is also a good choice for a couple or family group. One family brought a four-year-old and found the personal attention helpful. Young children may not care about cellar details, of course, but the patio and short 90-minute schedule make this more manageable than a long estate tour.

You will get the most from it if you ask questions. Ask how the red and white wines differ, why the labels use separate processes, and how aging affects the finished wine. The guides are there to explain, and the small setting gives you a better chance to have a real exchange.

I would be more cautious if you do not have a car and want to avoid extra planning. The tour itself is simple, but reaching the village requires preparation. I would also skip it if your Segovia schedule is already packed with major sights and you have no particular interest in wine.

The winery is wheelchair accessible, which makes it an option for visitors who need an accessible setting. It is still wise to confirm any specific mobility needs directly when arranging the visit, since the general information confirms accessibility but does not describe every surface or facility.

The practical details that matter most

The total experience lasts 1.5 hours: one hour for the guided winery visit and 30 minutes for the tasting. You begin and end at C. Real, 17, so there is no hotel pickup included in the standard price.

The activity is led live in English or Spanish. The winery visit and wine tasting are both included. The appetizer comes from local producers, but the available information does not specify its exact contents, so ask ahead if you have allergies or dietary restrictions.

You can check available starting times when booking. The tour has skip-the-ticket-line access, though the more important benefit here is the scheduled entry to a small working winery rather than waiting at a major attraction.

The provider is Las Dos Antiguas. If you need transportation, request it directly. The paid transfer covers pickup and return for up to four people and costs €120 extra.

Should you book Las Dos Antiguas?

Book this tour if you want a small, personal winery visit and are willing to plan the ride from Segovia. The guide-led cellar explanation, three limited-edition wines, local appetizer, and leafy patio make it a thoughtful 90-minute outing for wine fans.

Skip it if you want a tasting within Segovia’s old town, a full meal, or a large estate with extensive vineyard views. The experience is strongest for its intimate scale and clear instruction, not for grand architecture or easy access.

For most interested visitors with a car, $35 is a fair price. If you need the €120 transfer, gather a group of up to four or compare taxi costs first. Make that decision before booking, and this can be one of the more distinctive add-ons to a Segovia stay.
