What to expect

You'll start at CIVIMA's headquarters learning how Manilva's growers are fighting to keep their vineyards alive. Staff walk you through winemaking methods and local viticulture history. The main event happens at Peñoncillo—a steep kilometre walk or short drive from the winery—where you'll taste three wines with cold cuts against panoramic sea views. Weather dependent: visits may be adjusted if conditions turn rough. The entire pace is leisurely; expect conversation over rushed tasting.
