What you'll do

This four-hour experience begins with a pickup from your hotel and a private transfer to a small, organic winery outside Ronda. Set at the foot of the Tajo Gorge, this biodynamic vineyard has a spectacular backdrop, with panoramic views over stone cliffs topped by the UNESCO-listed pueblo blanco (white village). You'll be greeted with a glass of wine and led on a walk through the vines, learning about biodynamic growing techniques and local grape varieties. Hear about how the small winery harvests and bottles their vintages, and taste ripe grapes straight off the vine.  

Next, it's time to roll up your sleeves and start cooking. Under the guidance of an experienced chef, you'll help prepare seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms and shops as you learn about the region's sustainable Slow Food movement. Create a delicious menu of classic Andalusian dishes, designed to complement each wine and tailored to any dietary requirements and preferences. When the meal is ready, sit down to a memorable al fresco lunch or dinner (depending on the season), surrounded by nature, epic Ronda views, and the peaceful sounds of a nearby waterfall.
