Vineyard tours, Sept. Burgos or Leon area
 

Just wondering if anyone has any information about touring and or staying at a vineyard in northern Spain. We are walking part of the camino and thought the timing might be right to tour a vineyard before we start . Our plan is to be in the area around the 20th of Sept. Thank you.

The wine region around Leon is known as D.O. Tierra de Léon.

on which I cannot find anything specific on wine routes. There bodegas open to the public and all of the Bodegas are listed here. http://www.dotierradeleon.es/
The area "next door" is better organised El Bierzo.

and in particular this page of the above site.

Note that these two are the ones actually on the Camino Frances. Seeing that you are suggesting (but not fully confirming) you are starting the Camino Frances in Burgos then maybe you should start the pilgrimage and then stop for a rest in El Bierzo, where things are a lot better organised.
The time of your visit could be during the Vendimia. It maybe more difficult to organise a visit to these businesses during this busy time of the year.

There are dozens of bodegas in the Ribera del Duero Valley worth visiting. A few offer accommodations, including Abadía Retuerta (www.abadia-retuerta.com), located along the Golden Mile, but few cater to pilgrims.

The provence of Burgos forms one part of the Ribera, but the city of Burgos itself doesn't have any wine estates itself that you would visit. You will find them to the south around Aranda de Duero and then east toward Valladolid.

Nearly all bodegas require advance reservations.

I really had know idea where to start looking. Now I do. This forum is great. Many thanks for the information.

I did not write anything about the Duero as it is not on the Camino Frances. Just as Robert has suggested.
I also hinted that we needed more information...Sorry should have written an outright questions... You have not given us full details of your plan.
1)How do you get to the start of part of the Camino Frances?
2) If looks as if you are not going to walk the whole distance, is that correct? and if not where do you finish?
3)How to you get back to the airport to leave the country?

I ask these things as I could have written other suggestions. There are hundreds of official wine growing areas in Spain.

The Camino Frances does run through Navarra and the Rioja Alavesa, two major wine regions.

Our plans are to take a train to either Leon or Burgos and finish in Santiago..

So then the areas I have suggested are the ones you will walk through. Others are too far off your track, even by train IMHO.
