One of our favourite times of spring is that moment when you can feel that summer is just around the corner. It might be because the sunsets have changed from violet to intense red, because the grapes begin to stand out in their bunches or because the Arzuaga vineyards are bathed in emerald green. But that special something is noticeable from first thing in the morning. And here in this tremendous landscape of Castile and León, we can only tell you that summer is better when experienced at Bodegas Arzuaga.
It’s a unique time of year, when you can enjoy something different every day. The veraison starts to be noticeable on the bunches, the vines shine with more life than ever and, on the La Planta estate, the animals are getting ready for summertime. This is one of our favourite activities during the summer months, as this estate covers more than 1,500 hectares of nature where there is a large game reserve that’s home to wild boar, deer and mouflons. Rarely can you see a family enjoying themselves as much as on a walk through its vineyards. Because the senses get excited surrounded by nature. You can absorb the aromas of the grapes still on the vines, touch the ground and feel the terroir. It’s a unique way to see the place where it all begins.
After visiting the vineyard, you’ll be able to marvel at our ancient holm oak and visit the winery to discover the barrel room and all the secrets that are hiding at Bodegas Arzuaga. Then it will be time to taste three of our wines and delve into the personality they get from each step in the production process. It’s the perfect plan for a day out with family or friends.
And we can’t forget to mention the best way to round off this ideal day: finishing with a lunch or dinner in our traditional restaurant. There, our chefs take special care over the best local produce so you can discover new sensations. Naturally, suckling lamb is the star of the menu, whether in its roasted version or our famous skewers. At Bodegas Arzuaga, we only work with the best raw material to bring out all its flavour on our grill or in our oven.
We’re convinced that you won’t think of a better plan for any summer weekend. So, just visit our website (https://arzuaganavarro.com/index.php/enoturismo) and book your Arzuaga experience now.
