Highlights
It's a day trip to the Utiel-Requena wine region. Your guide is a sommelier specialised in Valencian wines, who will tell you about the history of wine in Valencia region, about the grape varieties, and a lot more! We’ll first go to the village of Requena, where we’ll visit some 9th century caves. These were used for storing grains, oil and wine; the old clay pots are still there. Here we’ll do a first wine tasting... Our next stop is an authentic 19th century winery, where we'll go into the vineyards, then through the winery, following the wine making process from "grape to bottle". We end with a tasting of some of their wines. For lunch we'll go to the village for a local lunch with more wine… For wheelchair users, or groups of 1-2 people or more than 8 people - we can do the tour - contact me directly! Up to 4 people: I use a small SUV MG ZS e-vehicle, comfortable for 4 normal-sized passengers. Let me know if you feel you need a larger vehicle (price will be different).

5When dream comes true
I’ve always dreamed of crushing grapes with my feet, just like in The Taming of the Scoundrel with Adriano Celentano. During the tour, that dream came true — we picked the grapes straight from the vines, pressed them barefoot, and discovered the fascinating art and sounds of winemaking. The experience culminated in a delightful lunch and tasting of various wines, shared in wonderful company. A beautifully organized event and a perfect way to dive into the rich history of Spanish winemaking.
5A Day to Remember
My husband and I were on a cruise and we only had 8 hrs to spend in the Port City of Valencia. Johan, our guide and sommelier picked our group of 8 up at the terminal and whisked us off for a beautiful day in the Requina-Utiel wine region. Our first visit was to a historic winery with caves hidden underground that were used to make and store wines in large clay jars, hundreds and hundreds of years ago. Johan led us through the caves explaining the history and process of the wine making from years ago and we then enjoyed a beautiful tasting of several wines. We then went to our next stop, a family owned winery with acres of vineyards in a very picturesque setting. We toured through the winery with Johan explaining the processes and history. Our time ended with lunch and a table set for us under the trees, over looking the valley and vineyards towards Utiel. The view was amazing and the food and wine were absolutely delicious! This was an experience to remember. Thank you, Johan for not only sharing your knowledge of the wines and the region with us but for creating an experience that we will always remember. It was a pleasure to meet and spend the day with you. I hope that we will have the opportunity to do this with you again someday.
