About this experience

Experience a full day exploring three Requena wineries, where you will taste a variety of organic red, rosado, and vintage Cava dry wines, featuring local varieties such as Bobal and Garnacha, as well as French grapes like Syrah, Cab Franc, and Viogner. The tour is designed for wine enthusiasts looking for an in-depth understanding of winemaking. It is not suitable for those seeking a standard tourist experience. A professional WSET/Somm guide, who also produces his own wines, will lead the tour, providing insights into different soils and winemaking techniques. The day includes generous tastings of over 15 wines and a special artisan Bobal from centenary vines. The tour also features food pairings with DOP embutido, cured cheese, and estate olive oils, along with a quality lunch at a selected restaurant. The experience concludes with a visit to the medieval town of Requena.
