Recommended tour - This was my second wine tour with this group within two weeks, one with friends, the other with family. Miguel was our guide both times. We enjoyed the tour, but although the scenery itself is fantastic, it was thanks to Miguel that the tour was so enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable and does his best to involve the travellers in any discussion. He speaks English well, but was more then patient in letting me practice my limited knowledge of the Spanish language🤔. There is only one winery visit, but the process of wine making was well explained and we were given exceptional wine to taste. I ditto the complimentary comments made here by other travellers. Joan

A great day out! - We did the Sun and Wine Tasting day out which we can thoroughly recommend. Our team of 4 Brits were picked up at 8.45 am by our guide Miguel in Caleta followed by a couple from Norway at 9am in Nerja. We headed straightaway inland into the mountains for our first stop in Torrox Pueblo. There our walking history tour began as we weaved our way round the streets and the Old Town. We learned about the Arabic village architecture designed to keep out invaders and Almanzor, the great leader of the Moors. We admired the wonderful views straight down to the sea. Then it was on to Competa much further up into the mountains with even more spectacular views for another walking tour to learn about its history and traditions and the importance of donkeys, an absolute necessity for life back then. We had a very welcome break for coffee in Competa at about 12 noon before heading to the 5th generation family-run small bodega whose wines were selected by a group of blind wine tasters for the Spanish King's wedding 20 years ago - showing how special their wines are. Again, much information about the traditional hands-on method of wine production along with the delicious wines to taste and the small shop to browse and select products to buy from. The mountain scenery was spectacular with the almond trees blossoming into pink and white froths and the mimosa trees showing off their yellow bloom. Having become slightly tipsy, our tummies were ready for a delicious 3 course lunch in the village of Sayalonga, with plenty of choice, at about 2.30pm after which we were delivered back to our respective locations, having had a marvellous day out. Miguel was such a great guide, full of historical information (and current day facts!) great fun and a fantastic grasp of the English language. Thankyou Miguel!

Sol och vinrutt - Guided tours are usually of varying quality, but this tour was truly a highlight. First of all, we ended up with two couples from Liverpool, just their presence enhanced the experience. Regarding the guide and the guide's knowledge and ability to deliver interesting and relevant information, it was magnificent. He captured our attention, without being too intense. Just taking us up to the heights on those roads, would make many hesitate, but with a sure hand the guide drove us up in a very pleasant way. The walks through the different villages, how the small-scale wine production is conducted and the wine tasting afterwards, were all an incomparable experience. We are so grateful for this tour and have already thought about the next tour, when visiting Nerja. Thank you so much!

Nice trip to the "backland". - A lovely trip to Torox, Competa and Sayalonga. A pleasant visit to the family-run bodega Jarel, where we had the opportunity to taste wines from their production. Our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable and a pleasant acquaintance.

Enjoyable trip - We had a fabulous day with Miguel driving us. It was very informative and we saw some interesting places but it was a very relaxing trip. Miguel made us all feel very comfortable and we had a few laughs along the way. More than that though, he just kept telling us what we were looking at with lots of history tagged into the trip. The stops were all worthwhile in the villages, bodega for wine tasting and lunch. The scenery was stunning and we would both thoroughly recommend this trip. I travelled with my partner
