Gastronomy, tradition, celebrations and experiences to share in a unique setting in La Rioja. Save the dates… because this autumn, we’ll see you at Natura Resorts
Unlike a conventional tour, this experience is designed for small groups (maximum 15 people), allowing visitors to gain access to the winery’s working areas whilst they are in full operation and to experience the winemaking process from the inside. The main attraction of the tour is that participants will be able to taste the wine at different stages of its development, gaining an understanding of how it is transformed from grape to bottle: The first must, freshly pressed after the grape harvest. The wine fresh from the fermentation tank, still developing. The wine during its ageing in oak barrels, revealing how the wood influences its character. To finish, you’ll taste two premium wines paired with a Riojan appetiser. All this will be accompanied by explanations from our team and will conclude with an appetiser of Riojan cured meats.
The grape harvest is over, but the experience continues. In October, the vineyard changes colour, the winery fills with the aromas of fermentation, and the traditions of La Rioja remain very much alive around the table. The aromas, as you step into the winery at the height of fermentation, reveal the sensations that fill its spaces at this time of year. The flavours, reviving the tradition of the authentic grape-picker’s lunch at the foot of the vineyard: a sandwich with grilled chorizo, wine from a wineskin and water from a clay jug. The knowledge, exploring the life cycle of the vine and the fermentation process in our Museum of Wine Culture through two highly educational videos. This is ‘Colour and Flavour of the Grape Harvest’, our special catalogue of experiences designed to help you discover everything that happens at Vivanco after the grapes have been harvested during the month of October:
