About this tour
Head into Spain's Utiel-Requena wine region, a protected designation less than an hour from Valencia, where viticulture has thrived since the 7th century BC. This six-hour excursion takes you through working vineyards and production villages to taste local wines alongside regional cheese and cured meats. Depending on season, you'll sample grapes straight from the vine or join the harvest in autumn.
Highlights
- Walk through centuries-old vineyards producing Denominación de Origen wines
- Taste grapes directly from the plant during August–September
- Participate in grape treading during October harvest
- Sample local wines paired with artisanal cheese and cold cuts
- Explore underground caves at Murviedro winery
- Wander gardens at Vera de Estenas estate
What to expect
You'll travel through rolling valleys dotted with vines, stopping at established wineries to learn how grapes become wine. The producers will walk you through their process, from vineyard to barrel. Tastings happen on-site with locally sourced accompaniments. If visiting August–September, you can pick and eat fresh grapes; October visits let you join in treading. Kids get alcohol-free grape juice and snacks at each stop, plus space to explore safely. Expect moderate walking across vineyard terrain.
