Frequently asked questions
What is included in the price?
The tour price covers all accommodation, wine bodega visits, cultural visits, meals on a half-board basis (breakfast and main meal of the day – this is usually a substantial lunch with wine as is customary in Spain but dinner is substituted on day 1), wine-tasting sessions, transport during the tour, including transfer to and from the wine regions from Madrid Barajas Airport (excluding flights or onward travel), and the fully supervised guiding service of your tour host, Don Federico.
Are there any mobility requirements?
The nature of La Ruta Don Federico involves visits to authentic, rustic wineries, walking through vineyards on uneven soil and descending steps into centuries-old subterranean cellars, as well as stops at sights of natural beauty which require reasonably good mobility to fully enjoy the experience. As such, the tours are not suitable for wheelchair users or those with restricted mobility. If in doubt, please contact us for advice prior to making a reservation.
What are the group sizes?
La Ruta de Don Federico offers a highly-personalised, authentic wine experience, with small groups of up to a maximum of 6 guests.
Can larger groups be accommodated?
Bespoke packages are available for larger group bookings.
Please enquire for details.
Do I need travel insurance?
Every care will be taken to ensure your comfort and safety and a welcome briefing will provide advice on safe conduct during visits in natural and agricultural terrain. However, it is a condition of your booking that you have valid and adequate travel insurance prior to and throughout your tour. A suitable insurance policy should provide adequate cover for medical expenses arising through illness or accident prior to or during the holiday and loss of holiday monies through cancellation and curtailment of the holiday for insurable reasons.
Can you cater for allergies and dietary requirements?
La Ruta de Don Federico organises tours primarily in Castile and León, where meat such as lamb, pork, ham and beef are specialities of the region. However, a wide range of gastronomy is offered during the wine experiences including fish and vegetarian options, and other special dietary requirements can be catered for if you advise us at the time of booking.
What luggage may I bring?
For reasons of space in the touring vehicle and time efficiency upon arrival at Madrid Airport guests are restricted to one standard 15kg cabin bag or case of 56x45x25cm plus a hat and small bag for personal items or camera etc (please check restrictions for these items with your airline).
