Free cancellation if canceled at least 72 hours before the start of the experience.
Description
With its vineyards, historic wineries and towns steeped in winemaking tradition, Utiel-Requena is one of Valencia's most important wine regions. On this Utiel-Requena winery tour from Valencia, you'll discover the history and flavours of this area, often referred to as the Valencian Tuscany, through two guided winery visits featuring wine tastings and local appetisers.
Your first stop will be the Murviedro Historic Winery, in Requena's old town. Here, you'll explore its 12th-century underground caves, once used to store wine and food thanks to their constant temperature. During the guided visit, you'll learn about the history of these fascinating spaces and taste a wine inside the caves. Afterwards, you'll sample two more wines in the main tasting room, accompanied by an appetiser. This visit lasts approximately 45 minutes.
The tour continues to Vera de Estenas, a winery dating back to 1876 in Utiel, surrounded by vineyards and set in a historic Modernist-style estate. During the guided tour of the property, you'll learn about the winemaking traditions passed down through generations and discover the surroundings where its wines are produced.
The visit to Vera de Estenas concludes with a tasting of three Valencian wines in the winery's gardens, accompanied by locally produced cheeses and cured meats. You'll spend approximately an hour and a half exploring this second winery and gaining a deeper understanding of Utiel's wine culture.
Throughout the excursion, you'll also discover the vineyard landscapes of Utiel-Requena and learn about the winemaking process. In August and September, you'll have the opportunity to taste grapes straight from the vine, while in October you can take part in traditional grape stomping.
With return transport from Valencia and an official guide throughout the journey, this excursion brings together local heritage, vineyard scenery and gastronomy, offering an insight into the winemaking traditions of the Valencian Community.
