Made for Spain & Portugal

FROM short escapes to month long vacations, multi-generational events to history focused itineraries, from family fun to gourmet food and wine trails, Made for Spain & Portugal creates bespoke journeys to take all dreams and turn them into a trip of a lifetime.

Owner Virginia Irurita says many visitors get a taste for these countries when they visit briefly on cruises, and she is able to fulfil every whim when they return for a more extensive experience of the destinations. Possibilities with Made for Spain

& Portugal include exploring the world’s largest vineyard region, the Iberian Peninsula, home to over 90 wine regions, on a trip stretching from central Spain all the way to northern Portugal. Sample fantastic varietals along the way with visits to spectacular private wine estates with the owners, and pairings with Michelin Star meals.

The culture obsessed can immerse themselves in Spanish and Portuguese history and art, with visits to top museums while they are closed to the public. Experience them through an expert’s eyes with a renowned local artist as a host.

For adventure seekers, combine gastronomy, culture and sport with cycling trips through lush hills and charming medieval villages with stops for delectable regional cuisine to refuel. In these two richly diverse countries, the possibilities are truly endless.

Irurita has personal connections with the owners of many of the stately homes across the countries, and particularly highlights the affordability of Portugal where you can get a “lot more for your money”.
