Discover Valencia's Wine Country

After meeting at your hotel in Valencia, we'll travel in a comfortable private vehicle to the Utiel-Requena wine region, home to centuries of winemaking traditions and the native Bobal grape. During the drive, I'll introduce you to the history, landscapes, and wine culture that make this area one of Spain's most distinctive wine regions.

We'll visit two carefully selected wineries, where you'll meet the people behind the wines, explore the vineyards and production facilities, and enjoy guided tastings that showcase the diversity and character of local wines.

Between winery visits, we'll stop for a leisurely lunch at a traditional local restaurant, where you'll enjoy regional cuisine paired with the relaxed atmosphere of Valencia's countryside.

Throughout the day, you'll discover how history, climate, gastronomy, and local traditions have shaped the identity of this remarkable wine region. As a WSET Diploma holder, I'll help you understand each wine in an engaging and approachable way, whether you're a wine enthusiast or simply curious to learn more.
