This is how lifelong memories are made in southern Spain. Costa Excursions is a Tour Company in Malaga that specializes in Private Day Trips for Travelers seeking personalized day tours in southern Spain, specifically from Malaga and Marbella.. Bringing Authentic Andalusian Wine Country to Life Southern Spain’s wine story is rich and complex. People come from all over the world to sip crisp finos in sherry country or sample bold reds against a backdrop of mountain peaks. Malaga itself is historically a center for sweet fortified wines, some of which made their way to royal courts across Europe. Yet, the true appeal of an Andalusian vineyard experience isn’t just the award-winning bottles — it’s the warm, slow pace of local life, the hospitality, and the deep roots each bodega has within the surrounding landscape. At Costa Excursions, we’ve spent over 15 years getting to know the families, growers, and quiet country estates that give southern Spain its character. Our team is fully licenced and insured, and every tour is backed by years of trusted relationships with the region’s most welcoming producers. What you get isn’t a cookie-cutter wine bus — these are private, tailor-made journeys designed around what you find fascinating, relaxing, or delicious. How Private Wine Tours Work with Costa Excursions No two travelers are alike, and our approach reflects that from the moment you reach out. Maybe you’re visiting Malaga for the first time and want an introduction to local wines — or perhaps you’ve been traveling around Spain for years and crave access to off-the-beaten-path vineyards. Our focus is on crafting a day that matches your style, whether that means a leisurely vineyard lunch among olive groves, a technical tasting with a winemaker, or soaking up the scenery as we drive through iconic Ronda and the white villages nearby. We operate primarily out of Malaga and Marbella, picking up guests at their hotel, apartment, or port. Our vehicles are air-conditioned and very comfortable, which lets you enjoy a relaxed day without worrying about driving or logistics. Every private tour includes a knowledgable local guide who’s happy to adapt the plan as the day unfolds. Some guests love to keep things spontaneous — stopping for photos, local olive oil tastings, or simply stretching their legs to enjoy the view. What Makes Costa Excursions Different from Other Tour Companies We know that when people travel, they want a mix of authenticity, comfort, and surprise.

We know which estates have farm animals, gardens, or history talks that’ll keep little ones interested. Celebrating an anniversary? We can arrange a romantic picnic or a premium tasting flight with local cheese and jamón. After speaking directly with you, we design the itinerary to fit your group — it’s all included in the private day rate.
