Casas de Cuadra between winegrowing, a museum and cycling routes

Casas de Cuadra is dedicated to winegrowing and combines this theme with local history, a museum experience and several cycling connections. This creates a destination where a pleasure-oriented visit, a cultural excursion and the exploration of routes of varying lengths can be combined.

Winegrowing and local history

The history of the area includes the Sisternas bodega. At that time, it had a capacity of 600,000 kilograms of grapes. The name of the area also leads back into the past: Casas de Cuadra derives from the canon Alonso de la Cuadra, who owned these properties in the 18th century.

From the family wine cellar to a museum experience

The CM Caserío Rural de Sisternas is located in the Caserío de Sisternas in Requena, next to the hamlet of Casas de Cuadra. The CM Caserío Rural de Sisternas Museum is housed in a former family wine cellar that was converted into an ethnographic museum. The escape-room experience at Museo Sisternas combines an escape game with a museum visit, wines, cavas and a small snack. The range therefore extends from the historic wine-cellar building to a playful experience with a clear connection to wine and regional culture.
