Wine Tasting Tours and Wineries in Ronda

Wine tasting tours and visiting a winery in Ronda.

Ronda has developed a distinctive wine scene in recent decades, with a growing number of small wineries producing wines in the Serranía de Ronda. The area’s vineyards benefit from the high altitude, limestone soils and contrasting temperatures of the mountain landscape, while local producers make a range of red, white and rosé wines.

For visitors, the best way to discover Ronda’s wine is to visit a bodega, walk through the vineyards and taste the wines where they are made. Some wineries offer guided tours and tastings, while others combine wine with local food or accommodation.

Wine has been made in Ronda and the Serrania since Phoenician and Grecian times, and in fact may have been made by iron age peoples before them.
