Visiting wine cellars (bodegas) in Spain
Obviously, this is not the only, but the main activity of an oenotourist. Once you start, you realize that no matter how many places you visit, each new winery will surprise you again, because no two wineries are the same, and no two wines are the same.
Taste, aftertaste, color, aroma and other characteristics of a wine depend on two factors: the mode of production and the terroir (environmental factors in which the grapes grow: climate, topography, etc.).
The first factor is determined by man, the second: by nature itself. For example, in the Priorat region the vineyards are located on slopes that are difficult to access, making them difficult to cultivate. Galicia is characterized by many small plots, each with a small winery. At the same time, the size of the vineyards in La Mancha is amazing…
Living in bodega hotels (you already know what that is, don't you?)
It is undoubtedly an unforgettable experience! You are fully immersed in the unique atmosphere of the world of winemaking... And not for a couple of hours, as in the case of a simple bodega visit, but for as long as you want.
Stay in such a hotel and you are in another world, the world of wine, with its unique attributes and thousands of years of history: the peace and unhurried life of the countryside, old stucco decorations, vines under the window, the rays of the friendly
Mediterranean sun that gently wake you up early in the morning, birdsong and cicada chirping, a glass of great wine and aromas, aromas, aromas ... A true pleasure to all senses!
