Granada
Granada Wine Tour
The terroir north-east of the Sierra Nevada, is nothing short of extreme, from barren, yet mineral-rich soils, to alluvial gravel and red clay in the “bad-lands” drained by torrential winter rains and starved of summer water.
The Peak
of Natural Wine!
Altitude is everything: vineyards sit between 900 m and 1 400 m, where the diurnal swing can exceed 20 °C, locking acidity into thick-skinned grapes and slowing ripening to a crawl.
The result is juice of intense concentration, with notes of wild herbs, iron, and salinity that seems both borrowed from the terroir as well as distant Mediterranean breeze.
- Natural Wine tasting
- Paired with local produce
- Optional cheese and/or Jamon tour
Across the high, sun-scorched slopes of Granada’s mountain ranges, these boutique, garage and micro-wineries are the fermented essence of a single slope, a single vintage, a single family’s stubborn refusal to do anything the easy way.
- Wine tasting with paired local produce
Natural
Wine
Most of the wineries here practice natural winemaking that emphasises minimal intervention, both in the vineyard and the cellar, to create wines that reflect their terroir and vintage with authenticity.
Natural wines are typically fermented with native yeasts, bottled without filtration, and contain little to no added sulfites.
Boutique Wine
Tasting.
Set high on the southern slopes of Sierra Nevada in Granada, are a dozen or so, boutique cellars that are quietly turning the province into one of Europe’s most exciting regions of natural wine.
Climate change is pushing other Spanish regions toward higher sites, yet Granada has been there for centuries. Yields will stay low, prices reasonable, and the commitment to zero-input farming is only intensifying.
- Boutique producers
Garage
& Boutique Wineries
Roman foundations, Islamic baths and Spain’s oldest bullring mingle with quiet tapas bars and scent-laden orange trees, offering visitors a distilled sip of southern Spain in a single, unforgettable visit*.
Minimal Intervention,
Maximum Flavour.
These wines, often made with indigenous grape varieties like Vigiriega and Tempranillo, are crafted with minimal intervention, using native yeasts and little to no added sulfites, resulting in vibrant, expressive flavours that reflect the area’s slate and clay soils and intense sunshine.
The result is often vibrant, funky, and unpredictable, with flavours ranging from bright and fruity to earthy and complex. While celebrated for their purity and individuality, natural wines can spark debate due to their unconventional taste and occasional cloudiness, appealing to adventurous drinkers seeking a raw, unpolished expression of wine.
Cheese
and/or Jamon Tours & Tasting
Follow the winding lanes of rural Granada to meet the guardians of Andalucía’s most coveted flavours, from legendary Jamón Serrano to artisan queserias producing mostly raw milk goat and sheeps milk cheeses.
