HARVEST
TIME ...
Harvest
time started in August in the south of Spain
and will finish in mid October in the north.
This year harvest is little bit earlier than
usual due to the heat and the drought, but
it looks very good and it is a very nice time
to do a wine tour.
We invite you to participate in the HARVEST
in collaboration with hotel Villa de Abalos.
If you prefer Ribera del Duero, we propose
a winery - Hermanos
Perez Pascuas, Viña Pedrosa-
and a country lodging Palacio
de los Serrano in Sotillo de
la Ribera. Gastronomy lovers will certainly
enjoy in El Conde
restaurant in la Rioja.
NOTE:
We
would like you to send us your contributions
for the newsletter: description of wineries
or wines you enjoy, articles about cities
related to wine, interesting festivals and
events, comments about tours you have enjoyed
or not.

in a good mood. Harvest experience is a
real wine journey. This activity is in collaboration

FEATURED WINERY |
HNOS.
PEREZ PASCUAS

This
is one of our favorite wineries because
of its wines of course, but also because
of its extreme hospitality. They are
some of the first ones to embrace
wine tourism in Ribera del Duero by
opening their winery to all visitors.
A modern family winery where tradition
is combined with the most modern technology
with the objective of the regular
production of elegant fine wines.
