Description

You and a guest will fly roundtrip BusinessElite on Delta Air Lines to Madrid or Barcelona to experience Spain in style.

First stop is a three night stay at The Marqués de Riscal Hotel in Elciego, Alava. This Starwood Luxury Collection hotel is a true example of modernity and innovation set against the backdrop of an old, traditional winery. While there, enjoy the sensations and revitalising properties of the wine grape with a vinotherapy treatment. You will also be treated to a Welcome Dinner at the Gastronomic Restaurant, featuring famous nouvelle and traditional cuisine of the area. Complete your stay with a tour and tasting at the main source for producing Marqués de Riscal wines.

Next, Freixenet will host you for one night at an exclusive Barcelona hotel. In the morning, you will be picked up at your hotel and transported to Cavas Freixenet, where you will be treated to a private VIP tour of the winery and caves nine-stories underground. Following the tour, you will enjoy a tasting of beautiful cavas and a Catalan luncheon, before returning to Barcelona.  Freixenet (pronounced "fresh-eh-net") was established more than a century ago by Pedro Ferrer Bosch and his wife, Dolores Sala Vivé. Located in the Catalán region of Spain, about 35 miles from Barcelona in a town called Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Freixenet is today the world's largest producer of méthode champenoise sparkling wine. Freixenet is named after the Ferrer family's first homestead "La Freixeneda" meaning "the ash tree grove."

Last stop is the InterContinental Mar Menor for a two night stay with breakfast included. With a nine-hole golf course, luxury spa, two pools, a Kids Club and six restaurants and bars, InterContinental Mar Menor Golf Resort & Spa gives new meaning to the word "leisure". Located just five minutes from Europe's largest inland sea, the hotel is also near the Nicklaus Golf Trail and cultural treasures in the towns of Cartagena and Murcia.
