Perfect Wine Day Trip from Salamanca
On our first trip to Spain, we knew we wanted to do a wine tour and came across Don Federico on Tripadvisor. It was a good way for us to make use of our time and see as much as we could in the day we had. I think we were there first tour since the pandemic! We got to see a few different wineries including tasting directly between the vines and going into the underground bodegas! We also got an amazing lunch with multiple delicious courses. It was a pretty hot day and they were even great about ...Leer más

Muchas gracias for your very kind comments. You and Matt were delightful guests and it was a treat to introduce you to Rueda with its wonderful white wines. Your easygoing nature and smiles all day will live long in the memory and we hope to host you again some day in the future... as a happily married couple! Once again, many thanks for trusting us with your holiday.
And yes... it really was hot that day! Saludos muy cordiales, Don Federico

Wine. History, Food and Fun
Federico is a gentleman and scholar of the wine, the history and the region. He regaled our group with stories and knowledge. We toured top notch “off the beaten track” wineries- meeting the owners, learning about their wine and their passions. We were treated to a delicious Michelin restaurant for a memorable lunch of local specialities. Toured a small town, chatted with locals, tasted wine from a bodega of a nanogenarian. Photo ops everywhere. It is a day we will remember and put in the l...Leer más

Robert, I'm overwhelmed by the generosity of your review – thank you so much. It is gratifying beyond measure to hear that guests have taken so much from their experience with us, especially as it was such a pleasure to introduce you both to the unknown viticulture you were seeking. I sincerely hope that you will indeed return, and soon, so that we can cast the net even further off the beaten path. Please consider yourselves as I do, true 'amigos de Don Federico'.
Saludos muy cordiales

Go with the flow! This is a Spanish phrase I learnt during my 3-week Spanish course in Salamanca and could truly reflect this amazing wine tasting experience!
Thanks for Fred and Maria who took me and my friends to an intimate authentic wine tasting experience. While the weather was not so good as we wanted it to be, we felt sooooo lucky for taking on the tour where not only we were given a wealth of history of Salamanca wines (which I think is important for us to appreciate its delicacy) and t...Leer más

Xenia, we're delighted you not only chose to go with the flow but to go with La Ruta de Don Federico! It was such an easy pleasure to host you with your infectious enthusiasm and your smile brightening up a rainy day in the vineyard. I really hope you enjoy the special 2005 rufete you took back to Hong Kong – you must let us know what your wine-loving friends think of it when you finally uncork it!
With very best wishes and happy memories

Wonderful second Visit
This was our second visit to Salamanca to experience La ruta Don Federico's fabulous wine tasting experience. We loved our last trip so much, we recommended to friends who wanted to sample a slice of spain that they wouldn't usually experience and thats exactly what you get all wrapped up in a five star package in our opinion. Fred really does go out of his way to make sure your experience is one you won't forget. He provides an excellent standard of service and his wealth of knowledge of not o...Leer más
