OENOLOGY EXPERIENCE

In this experience, you will discover the “Ribera del Duero” Designation of Origin located on the northern plateau and at the confluence of four provinces within the Autonomous Community of Castilla y León: Burgos, Segovia, Soria, and Valladolid.

Alongside the “Rioja” Designation of Origin, the Rioja Alavesa subzone boasts 13,500 hectares of vineyards and several hundred wineries, resulting in an annual average of about 40 million liters of wine. The area’s clay-limestone soils, ideal for vines to absorb necessary moisture, produce red wines with specific general characteristics, such as a bright, vibrant color, a fine aroma, a fruity taste, and a pleasant palate.

Red wines are the most representative of the region and are made with Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano grape varieties.

The Abbey of Retuerta is a famous monastery founded in the 12th century, located in the province of Valladolid (Castilla y León), with luxurious rooms and suites designed to preserve the historic atmosphere of the setting. The Abbey of Retuerta is also known for its high-quality wine production, “Pago de la Garduña,” a Protected Designation of Origin Vino de Pago.

With wonderful vineyard views, bicycle rentals to explore the surroundings, and one-hour access to the Sanctuary, Wellness Center & Spa, as well as the Gym and Yoga Room, upon reservation.
