Begin your journey at Sacromonte. Meet your local guide for a hike between Pueblo Eden and Viña Eden.
The adventure kicks off with a drive to Pueblo Eden, allowing you to explore the chapel and the town's main square. Start on your hike along a trail frequented by locals on their way to various ranches in the area. You'll encounter countryside gates known as "porteras," native trees, pastures filled with cows and sheep, and a gentle stream. The landscape unfolds with picturesque slopes and rolling hills. After approximately 8 kilometers, the hike concludes, and you'll head to Viña Eden winery for a satisfying lunch with a view of the vineyards (lunch cost not included).
Upon returning to Sacromonte, you can savor a welcome wine tasting atop the hill, overlooking the hills of the "Sierras de Caracoles." This experience includes a tasting of three wines, champagne, and dinner.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
Everything is streamlined so far. It seems that tour is property planned and there would be no surprises.
