Bodegas y Viñedos Pedro García: tradition and wine tourism in the heart of Madrid

Bodegas y Viñedos Pedro García

Bodegas y Viñedos Pedro García, founded in 1931, is located in Colmenar de Oreja, an area with a rich wine-making legacy recently declared a Historic-Artistic Site by the Community of Madrid.

For three generations, this family winery has managed to preserve the artisanal tradition in wine production while incorporating technological innovations. A testament to their commitment to history is the restoration of 17th-century caves, which are an essential part of their wine tourism offer.

A wine tourism experience that combines history and wine

The wine tourism proposal of Bodegas y Viñedos Pedro García offers a complete immersion in their history and production philosophy. During the standard tour, visitors can learn about the wine production process from the vineyard to the glass, culminating in the tasting of two young wines with Denomination of Origin.

For those seeking a more comprehensive experience, the gourmet visit includes a tour of the winery’s recently restored underground caves, which reveal how wine was historically preserved in optimal conditions.

Additionally, the tasting is expanded to include a crianza red wine accompanied by a typical regional appetiser, allowing for a complete sensory experience that pairs wine and local gastronomy.

One of the most unique offerings is the combination of a vineyard visit with a guided tour of the centenary caves. This tour allows visitors to connect with the wine history of Colmenar de Oreja while discovering the most emblematic corners of the winery, with explanations about the cultivated varieties and the fundamental role of the soil and climate characteristics in the personality of each wine.

All tours are conducted in Spanish and require prior reservation, ensuring a close and personalised service. The winery also offers special prices for large groups, making it an ideal option for family visits, friends, or corporate events.

Own production and commitment to quality

The philosophy of Bodegas y Viñedos Pedro García is based on the belief that wine quality is born in the land. The winery cultivates over 50 hectares of its own vineyards in Colmenar de Oreja, where varieties such as malvar, airén, muscat petit grain, sauvignon blanc, merlot, tempranillo, cabernet sauvignon, and syrah are grown. This wide range of varieties allows for the production of wines that reflect the richness of the Madrid terroir and the diversity of its landscape.

Vineyard care is one of their priorities. The cultivation techniques are adapted to the climatic and altitude conditions of the area, ensuring the production of high-quality grapes. This meticulous care in the field is transferred to the winery, where the facilities combine tradition and modernity. The old winery houses large fermentation cones reminiscent of traditional winemaking, while the production hall is equipped with stainless steel tanks and advanced machinery that ensure an efficient process respectful of the raw material. The barrel room and the bottle resting area offer a controlled environment where the wines evolve until they reach their optimal point.

This event represents a key opportunity to consolidate their presence in the sector, connect with wine tourism experts, and show how their visits combine history, tradition, and quality. In a context where wine tourism is booming, the winery reinforces its commitment to a visit model that not only invites tasting but also transports visitors through the time and wine culture of Colmenar de Oreja.
