Young Viticulturists: Vine Pruning & Riojan Feast
In the heart of La Rioja, specifically in Torremontalbo, Bodegas Amézola de la Mora invites you to a unique family experience: the art of vine pruning. For over two and a half hours, children aged 6 to 16 will become true viticulturists, learning to select and prune vines that will later yield quality Riojan wine. This isn't just a theoretical lesson; it's a hands-on immersion, feeling the texture of the bark and the crisp snap of the branches. After the work, the reward: a traditional barbecue with chorizos roasted on the very vine shoots pruned earlier, accompanied by local produce. The journey culminates with a private visit to the ancient 'calados' and the silent cellars, where the aroma of aging wine fills the air, offering a glimpse into the patient process of winemaking. A perfect blend of education, nature, and gastronomy, fostering a deep appreciation for the land and its heritage.
