Bodegas Valbusenda
(Winery in Toro)

Provides 4 wine tastings and winery visit from €30.00
Valbusenda Winery is a family endeavor that came to life in 2003 when the founders decided to actualize one of their dreams: to showcase the spirit of their homeland through their passion for wine. They chanced upon a site within the D.O. Toro and were immediately entranced by the locale. At that moment, Valbusenda was born. Although the initial idea was to construct a winery, the founders decided to take it a step further and share their love for wine with the world. Today, Valbusenda has morphed into a wine tourism complex comprising a winery, a 5-star Hotel-Spa, an Ampelographic Garden, and a Training Vineyard—exclusively dedicated to studying different planting systems. It offers visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the world of wine through all five senses. The Valbusenda Winery swung open its doors in December 2008, situated in a location that shares its name, with the Duero River as the central feature. The winery is nestled just a few meters from its banks in the Vega de Toro. The wines from this region have a rich tradition, their origins predating even Roman settlements. By the Middle Ages, the wines of Toro had earned royal privileges and were favored by the Castilian monarchs in the 13th century. These wines voyaged to the Americas in the holds of Christopher Columbus's ships. During the 19th century, large quantities were exported to France to make up for the wine shortage caused by phylloxera. Today, the Vega de Toro, home to the Valbusenda winery, is protected under the Toro Origin Denomination. The establishment of this appellation began forming in the 1970s but wasn't officially recognized until 1987. A mere few decades later, the D.O. Toro has received substantial recognition both domestically and internationally, due in part to its adaptation to evolving consumer tastes and meticulous wine crafting techniques. This results in modern red wines that balance smoothness with intense color, full-bodied, and flavorful, suitable for long aging. Valbusenda's location along the banks of the Duero gives it unique characteristics. Its climatic conditions, soils, and the emblematic "Tinta de Toro" grape make it one of the most prestigious winemaking regions. This is evidenced by the growing number of wineries that have joined this appellation year after year, currently totaling over 54.

Legado de Orniz
(Winery in Toro)

Legado de Orniz combines four generations of winemaking tradition in San Román de Hornija with modern expertise to produce authentic and elegant Toro wines. The estate is dedicated to preserving centuries-old Tinta de Toro vineyards in harmony with the valley's unique microclimate and diverse soils. These vineyards are dry-farmed and goblet-trained, with some pre-phylloxera vines, reflecting the perseverance of the region's winemaking heritage. The soils, a key asset of the winery, range from stony and high-altitude plots to sandy-loam slopes, each contributing complexity, concentration, and freshness to the wines. The terroir is further enhanced by the extreme climate, with long winters and hot, dry summers, resulting in grapes of exceptional quality and character. Founded by Enriqueta Celemín Amaro, a fourth-generation winemaker, and Diego Alfredo Ribbert, an agricultural engineer and winemaker from Mendoza, the winery is committed to creating wines that showcase the incredible potential of this unique region.
