Private wine tasting in a 19th century winery

Private wine tasting in a 19th century winery

This winery is one of the oldest in Valdepeñas. It is famed for the beautiful stone carved wine cellar with its huge clay vessels on which famous Spanish poets wrote their poems on. Although currently no wine is being produced in the winery, it is worth a visit since there is no other winery like this.
It is a private and very personal visit since Andrés, the owner of the winery, helped his father as a a small child to produce wine here. He will show you the winery and give you historical information about the winery and the wine in this region.
