We'll visit two wineries in Colmenar de Oreja from the XVI and XIX centuries. The wines are great (Demonitation of Origin Madrid). We'll have lunch at a restaurant managed by a great chef.

On this tour, we'll travel to Colmenar de Oreja and visit the main tourist sites of the town, founded by Ancient Romans more than 2, 000 years ago under the name "Aurelia". It's worth mentioning that in this town, there's a museum dedicated to the painter Ulpiano Checa, whose main pictures inspired the Ben-Hur movie chariot race and the principal Roman decorations.

In Colmenar, we'll have a delicious tasting of local wines and cheese and a guided visit to one the oldest wineries in town that keep their wines ageing inside. It has a cave that holds a temperature of 15 degrees throughout the year. I used to have 2 wineries myself, so you can count on me giving you special input here.

-Main Square. A beautiful porticoed square.

-Santa María la Mayor Church, a huge church built in the XII century and rebuilt in the XVI century.
