An Invitation to Discover the Almansa Wine Route
Through these activities, the Almansa Wine Route aims to celebrate World Wine Tourism Day by highlighting the rich cultural heritage, history and winemaking traditions of the towns that form part of the Route.
After all, wine tourism is about much more than visiting a winery or enjoying a glass of wine. It is also about exploring our towns, learning about their history, discovering their traditions and enjoying the local gastronomy.
The Almansa Wine Route invites everyone to take part in these activities and enjoy three days of experiences that offer the chance to explore, experience and connect with our region.
Places are limited, so advance registration is recommended using the contact numbers provided for each town.
We look forward to welcoming you and celebrating World Wine Tourism Day together!
