Lunch at a Winery in the Douro Valley
Wine tasting lunch is a new popular option at Douro Valley quintas
About
In the center of the town of Requena, about 30 minutes west of the city of Valencia, you will find a typical restored house transformed into a small winery with a modern tasting room, wine shop, and a very impressive underground museum.
There is a tiny production of 100% Bobal La Casa de Seda wine, which ages in a wooden French oak foudre, a concrete vat, and a clay amphora. The grapes for La Casa de Seda come from a hundred years old plot with a unique terroir perfect for growing Bobal. The production of La Casa de Seda started only recently in 2017, however, the wine has already been recognized by wine critics. In its production, the winegrowers use organic and biodynamic principles.
Besides this small production in Requena, Murviedro offers a variety of wines from the Valencia and Alicante regions – reds, whites, rose, Cava, sweet sparkling wine, and even non-alcoholic bubbles.
The winery is part of Bodegas Schenk, a Swiss-owned company.
Visits
Wine tours are offered in Spanish, English, or French.
Open from Sunday to Tuesday: 10 am to 2 pm. Wednesday to Saturday 10 am to 2 pm and 4 pm to 7 pm.
Tours in English are held at 10 am and at 4 pm.
Visit this winery if you want to combine your tasting with a visit to typical underground cellars of an old winery. You will see 19th-century clay amphoras and old stone vats deep under the ground.
At the end of the tour, you will be offered a tasting of 2 wines, or 5 wines with local snacks.
Besides, each visitor gets a bottle of wine and a wine glass as a gift!
Wines are of good quality and are very reasonably priced. It makes sense to stock up on wine here. Many wines are labeled organic and vegan.
You will need to allocate 45 minutes or an hour and a quarter depending on your chosen package. Weekends are quite busy. If you are visiting on the weekend, be sure to book your visit well in advance.
