Description

Context

Montilla, located in Córdoba, is the heart of the Montilla-Moriles Denominación de Origen (DO), renowned for its generous wines crafted in traditional clay storage vessels (tinajas). The historic winery you’ll visit preserves century-old techniques within an atmosphere where the air carries the scent of aged wood and mature wine, a living testament to a family legacy passed down through generations.

The Experience

Your visit begins with a guided tour through the facilities, where the winemaking process and aging in tinajas and oak barrels are explained. An audiovisual-supported guide walks you through each stage, immersing you in the rich aroma of aging wine. You’ll then participate in a guided tasting of five generous wines—young tinaja wine, fino, oloroso, amontillado, and Pedro Ximénez—learning to identify their distinct aromas and flavors. The experience concludes with a lunch featuring local tapas and a main course carefully paired with the wines you’ve tasted, all served in a peaceful, welcoming setting.
