BODEGAS PROTOS offers a wide range of options to wine lovers. There are guided tours covering the wine-making process, from aging to sampling and tasting, giving you the opportunity to fully explore our facilities. For only 10 Euros, you will spend an hour-and-a-half touring the old aging cellar, which runs through 2km of subterranean galleries located underneath the mountain where the Peñafiel Castle stands, and then the new cellar, designed by the prestigious British architect Richard Rogers. During this tour, you will be able to sample and savour PROTOS Crianza and PROTOS Verdejo.

For a more in depth wine experience, PROTOS has put together The PROTOS Diversity Tour. This package entails a more extensive tour, where you will have the opportunity to sample a white Verdejo, a Rosé, a red Joven Roble and a Crianza wine, whilst learning more about the organoleptic properties of the four wines and exploring the differences in the production process for each one. The price for this tour is 15 Euros.

For the most discerning visitors, there is the PROTOS Grand Selection Tour. After touring the cellar, you will sample and evaluate three high-end wines. You can choose between Reserva, Selección and Crianza wines or Selección, Gran Reserva and Reserva Wines. For this tour, the price varies from 20 to 25 Euros, depending on your selection of wines.

To make your day complete, why not add a wine tasting class? Our sessions have been developed for those who are not only interested in learning about the cellar, but would also like an initiation into the world of wines, teaching you the secrets of how to sample them in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

All tours must be reserved in advance, either by calling 659 843 463 or by sending an email to enoturismo@bodegasprotos.com.

Come enjoy a special day with us in the heart of the Duero area.
