Wine Tourism in Spain

1. Jumilla

From the Castle of Jumilla, on top of the hill, you may admire the great views of the town as well as of the mountainous landscape which shows the border of the vineyards. Many of the wineries which used to be in the town have moved to the outskirts and have therefore built beautiful château-type buildings surrounded by vineyards, such as Casa de la Ermita. Others have remained in the town centre, such as Bodegas Silvano García and Bodegas Pedro Luis Martínez, which are among the most traditional wineries in Jumilla. As you leave the town, you will find the modern facilities of Bodegas García Carrión.

2. Yecla

Yecla holds 10% of the vineyard belonging to the DO Jumilla, as well as its own Denomination of Origin: D.O. Yecla, comprising Bodegas Castaño, famous for its innovative wines. To visit wineries in Yecla, you must take the road MU404 which goes across the vineyards. You will soon get to Monte Arabí, where you can enjoy nice views and see cave paintings. Outside the town we recommend you visit Bodega Señorío de Barahonda, which also has a restaurant where you can enjoy both its design and good food. You shouldn´t leave Yecla without stopping at Jumilla Castle.

3. Pinoso

Pinoso is part of Alicante. It is located close to the mountains of Sierra del Reclot which are 1.043 m at their highest. It is a pretty and welcoming town, and it boasts a variety of natural spots, such as the woods of la Sierra de Salinas and of Reclot. Although it is not a major destination for wine-tourism, we have included it in the Jumilla route because it provides a good opportunity to do rural tourism.
