Only twenty thousand people inhabit the small Gothic city of Requena, located 30 miles inland from Valencia at 2,300 feet above the sea level. The economy of this region is based on Cava sparkling and still wines. In the town, you'll see San Salvador Church, the castle's Tower of Homage, and the perfectly preserved cellars.
Explore the town of Requena and take a short walking tour through the narrow streets.
Visit the caves that have been put to many and varied uses throughout history -- a refuge in times of war, silos for storing grain, and wine cellars for production and storing of wine.
Today you will have a chance to see one of the most important cellars in the area, with more than 100 years' production history behind it.
Hoya de Cadenas is considered the largest winery in the Valencian Community
Taste the wine and enjoy some light snacks. You'll have a chance to purchase a bottle of wine if you like.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes. Corkage policy: Wine purchased on this tour is exempt from the on-board corkage fee (offer limited to one bottle of wine per person).
