La Portera: Vineyards, Tastings and Horse-Riding Experiences

La Portera among vineyards and horse-riding experiences

La Portera in Requena can be discovered through winegrowing, landscapes and experiences with a clear connection to the area. Bodegas Novos is located at C/ Rincones, km 1, in La Portera, Requena. At the same time, the “Enoturismo y Caballo Requena-Utiel” experience takes you along mountain trails in La Portera. It includes a guided ride and a visit to a winery with tastings of wine, cava and artisanally produced sausage.

Experience winegrowing at specific locations

At Bodegas Novos, a visit includes a walk through centuries-old vineyards. Bodegas Novos also offers a tour with a tasting of three characteristic wines. Iberian cured meats, cheese and bread accompany this tasting. The two elements have different focuses: the walk draws attention to the wine-growing landscape, while the tour focuses on flavours and accompanying food. This is interesting for you if you like combining your stay with visible landscape impressions and a structured tasting.

Vineyard areas and grape varieties

Ladrón de Lunas has 24 hectares of its own vineyards. Vinos y Sabores Ecológicos has 18 hectares in La Portera, where grapevines are the main crop; the varieties grown are Bobal, Garnacha, Tempranillo and Chardonnay. Anyone who wants to understand winegrowing not only through finished products but also through land and vines will find specific points of reference here.

Family knowledge passed down through generations

Vinos y Sabores Ecológicos began in 2009 in the family vineyard of the Novella-Herrero family, which has existed for four generations. Bodega Ladrón de Lunas was founded in La Portera in 2005 and brings together the expertise passed down through several generations devoted to wine. Fernando Martínez Relanzón was born in 1974 as the first member of the sixth generation of a family devoted to wine. For visitors who consider the origins and transmission of wine knowledge important, this provides an accessible way in: alongside the landscape, the history of the families involved also takes centre stage.

Tours, tastings and horse-riding experiences

Vinos y Sabores Ecológicos offers vineyard tours, wine tastings, degustations and training on the culture and knowledge of vines and wine. The range therefore extends from observing the vineyard areas to more in-depth formats. If you choose a hotel with La Portera as your destination, you can use this distinction as a guide: are you more interested in a walk through vineyards, tastings with accompanying food, the grape varieties or a horse-riding experience along mountain trails? This allows you to plan your trip around your interests without reducing La Portera to just one activity.
