Planning a company event in Castile and León
Castile and León suits a seminar away from the big cities, yet close to Madrid by high-speed train: a castle hotel, a converted monastery or a winery in the Ribera del Duero. Its strengths are calm, history and wine, for leadership retreats and incentive trips more than large congresses.
When to go
Spring and autumn are the most pleasant seasons, and the harvest in September and October brings the wineries to life. Summer days are hot but evenings cool on the plateau. Winters are cold, sometimes with snow in Segovia and León, which suits indoor programmes by the fire.
Getting the team there
International teams fly into Madrid-Barajas, then take the high-speed train to Segovia, Valladolid, León or Burgos, or a coach. For Spanish teams, the rail network makes much of the region an easy trip from Madrid and the north. Wineries and castles in the countryside are reached by coach.
Castles, monasteries and wineries
Castles and monasteries converted into hotels offer meeting rooms in vaulted halls and cloisters, with bedrooms on site. Wineries in the Ribera del Duero, many with modern buildings, host seminars, tastings and dinners in their cellars. Valladolid, Salamanca and Burgos have city hotels for larger groups.
Activities
Wine tastings and cellar visits in the Ribera del Duero, Rueda and Toro are the main draw. Guided visits of Segovia’s aqueduct, Salamanca’s old town or the cathedrals of Burgos and León fit between sessions. Hot-air balloon flights over Segovia and roast lamb lunches in a traditional asador round off a programme.
