Full-day Somontano Wine Excursion and Visit Alquezar

About this tour

Spend nine hours exploring two of Aragón's most compelling destinations. Begin at Bodegas Laus, a respected Somontano winery where you'll taste distinctive regional bottles before heading to Alquézar, a clifftop village perched above the Vero River gorge. Wander cobbled lanes dating to the 11th century, visit the Collegiate Church—a national monument—then sit down to lunch featuring local specialities at Casa Pardina Restaurante. Private transport throughout.

Highlights

• Somontano wine tasting at established Bodegas Laus
• Medieval Alquézar village, designated heritage site since 1082
• Collegiate Church—declared National Monument
• River Vero canyon views and limestone gorge formations
• Three-course lunch at Casa Pardina Restaurante
• Air-conditioned transport, minimal walking required

What to expect

You'll start with a guided tasting at the winery, sampling reds and whites from the Somontano designation—expect dry, food-friendly styles rather than heavy oak. The drive to Alquézar takes roughly an hour. Once there, you'll have time to explore the village at your own pace: steep streets, stone buildings, the fortress-like church. Photography opportunities abound, particularly from the mirador overlooking the gorge. Lunch follows, featuring Aragonese dishes and house wine. Total walking is modest but involves some uphill sections on uneven medieval streets.
