Good to know
Book this if you're interested in wine production, organic farming, or rural Spain beyond tourist circuits — it's a genuine working farm, not a theme-park version. You'll need moderate fitness to walk the vineyard (terrain varies). The tour is in Spanish only, so Spanish speakers will get more from it; non-speakers should clarify what to expect. Wheelchair access covers the museum and tasting areas. You must arrange your own transport to the winery, which is 4km outside Laujar de Andarax in the Alpujarra valley. Minimum 2 people per booking. Visitors must be 18+ to taste wine; under-18s can attend but won't participate in tasting. Dress for weather — it operates rain or shine.
