A beautiful old sandstone building set on green lawns with olive and fruit trees, giving it a very mediterranean feel
Commercial
The tasting room/shop is large and modern with big display shelves full of wine and various gift items. It is light and bright and the tasting bar is long and easily accessible with stools available

We really enjoyed this cellar door. Their management team have looked at some different cellar door concepts around the world and by providing the option of tasting without necessarily having to do a tour (and most wines available for tasting free of charge) it is a more modern concept, similar to that provided in Australia and New Zealand. The tasting sizes are also smaller, thereby giving you the opportunity to taste a wider range of wines, which we personally prefer.
Vinas Del Vero provided wine for the Spanish royal wedding, which we got to taste, and they are the largest producer in the region. |
