Bodega

Bodegas Alore is a family-owned winery with a viticultural tradition, crafting their wines from grapes grown on the 40 hectares they own near the Paraje de La Pedrera in Andosilla. The Resano-Alonso families form the foundation of this winery, born from the hard work of generations of farmers deeply rooted in this land. Their lives have been dedicated to the fields, vineyards, and the traditional methods of winemaking passed down through generations.

Alonso González Winery / Cantauri is a family-run estate in Ábalos, with roots dating back to 1977, when the grandparents of the current generation began crafting wine. The winery itself was established in 1982, and in 1990, the Cantauri brand was launched, marking the beginning of bottling under their own label. Today, under the leadership of Carlos Alonso, the winery drives a project that seamlessly blends tradition with personality, producing a diverse and expressive range of wines from 25 hectares of estate-owned vineyards. The quality of their wines has earned recognition through both national and international awards.

Cor de Mei, Heart of Wine, is a small, new and very personal project launched by the fourth generation of a family of grape growers who work with their own old vineyards in the villages of Briones and Ábalos. Their wines are aged in a beautifully restored cellar situated in Gimileo, a small village near the Ebro river.

At Pago de Larrea, it’s all about family and passion. Passion for excellence, passion for wine. Passion for La Romañíguez, the vineyard that guards all the secrets of Caecus, the wine produced in Pago de Larrea. Passion for Elciego, the land where this fruit is born. Passion for Rioja, the perfect setting to live an exciting dream.

Lauwa, an acronym for Laura and Wandert, is the realization of a dream shared by this couple of scientists. They met in Holland and decided to return to Spain, to La Rioja, to grow their own vineyards and make their own wines in Valverde, a district of Cervera de Río Alhama.

Manuel García launched his personal project, called Mazuela, in Cenicero. After a long career working for other wineries, Manuel decided to work with the family vineyards and make his own wines. Mazuela makes wines with character under the brands Stelvio (white and red), Liante and Corazón Indomable. The fruit takes centre stage, but the wines are also delicately and gently aged in both concrete and French oak barrels.

Bodega Del Monge-Garbati, Viña Ane, is a small family winery owned by husband and wife Eduardo Monge and Lorena Garbati. It was founded in 2004, although the couple brings together the experience of several generations working the vines in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, a village nestled on the slopes of Mount Toloño in the Sierra de Cantabria.

No one has fought as hard as the Lecea family to preserve the ancestral and artisanal tradition of grape treading. Located in the historical bodega district of San Asensio, the Leceas have gradually assembled old 16th century underground cellars to form an extraordinary maze. Bodegas Lecea won the Best of Wine Tourism Architecture 2018 award for the renovation of their cellars, locally known as calados, and the prize for the best wine tourism experience in Spain for their Grape Treading Festival.

Passion. Since childhood, Berta Valgañón has been driven by a deep passion for growing grapes and making her own wines in Cuzcurrita. Coming from a long line of winegrowers, she restored an old cellar carved into the mountain a few years ago to handcraft wines using grapes from her family’s vineyards—some of them over a century old—nestled in the foothills of the Obarenes Mountains. In doing so, she revived a cherished family tradition. These wines are crafted with minimal intervention in the cellar, but with intensive, thoughtful care in the vineyard—personally overseen by Berta herself.
