What to expect

You'll be collected and driven to La Mola Castle, where the fortress's silhouette dominates the landscape near Novelda. The castle itself tells the story of Spain's medieval defensive architecture—part of a wider system controlling trade routes and territorial boundaries. After exploring the site, you'll head to a working winery where the guide walks you through fermentation, barrel ageing and bottling. The cellar visit connects you to how locals have lived and worked the land for hundreds of years. The tasting finishes the afternoon: three wines, each explained in detail, sampled in the restaurant setting.
