Wine tourism in Extremadura.

Extremadura holds a deep winemaking tradition in the southwest of the peninsula. Its two provinces, Badajoz and Cáceres, bring together 29 wineries open to visitors, largely under the D.O. Ribera del Guadiana, the region's only appellation of origin, which groups six subzones with great diversity of soils and microclimates.

Tierra de Barros, around Almendralejo, is the production epicentre and one of Spain's bulk-wine capitals, but also of quality reds and whites and even cava. Varieties such as tempranillo, cayetana blanca or garnacha coexist with grapes recovered from Extremadura's heritage.

Wine tourism in Extremadura is enjoyed alongside the dehesa and its acorn-fed Iberian ham, the cheeses of La Serena and Torta del Casar, and World Heritage cities such as Mérida, Cáceres and the monastery of Guadalupe. Authenticity and calm on every visit.
