We continue our delightful journey through the world of Spanish Wines with our 6th Wine Club Tour – an exciting two-day getaway to brighten the end of January! We’ll head to the DO of Almansa, renowned for its high-altitude wines, where you’ll get to know four exceptional bodegas steeped in history and tradition.
Our adventure begins at Bodegas Cano, a fifth-generation winery that has been family-run since 1860. Here, you’ll savor four carefully selected wines, each reflecting the heart of Almansa’s winemaking heritage. Next, it’s time for a Gastro Experience Lunch at Bodegas Balmoral. Balmoral is an Espumoso specialist and is celebrated for its collaboration with France’s Champagne region. During lunch, you’ll enjoy tastings of three of their signature wines and three sparkling Espumoso wines. A guided tour of their state-of-the-art facilities completes this wonderful experience. Afterwards, we’ll check into Hotel Blu. This modern 4-star hotel features a cozy private library, a welcoming cafeteria, and an inviting restaurant. It’s perfectly located just 1.2km from Almansa’s city centre, making it easy to explore. Rest and unwind before the next day’s adventures.
Following a relaxing buffet breakfast, we take a walk to Almansa for a guided visit of the castle (there are steps!) or an explore of the flat centre of the city. Staying in the centre of the city we visit Bodegas Piqueras, a fourth-generation family winery exporting wines to over 45 countries. Here, you’ll taste four exceptional wines, each representing their global acclaim. We’ll enjoy a traditional Menu del Dia lunch, before heading to our final bodega. Bodega Tintoralba is a remarkable cooperative winery established in 1957, now with over 225 partners producing more than 12 million litres of wine annually. We’ll round off the day by sampling three of their finest creations.
Join us for a warm, sociable escape as we celebrate the wonders of Almansa’s winemaking tradition.
