What to expect
You'll arrive at Cortijo El Cura near Laujar de Andarax and begin with a guided walk across the working farm with your English-speaking guide, who explains the vineyard practices and organic certification. The tour then moves into the museum section, where you'll see exhibits on regional wine history and the winery's own production process. You'll continue into the working winery and cellar areas, seeing the equipment and storage where the wines are made and aged.
The experience finishes in the tasting room, where you'll sample a selection of the estate's wines. The guide will walk you through each wine, explaining characteristics and the story behind them. The whole visit runs 90–120 minutes at a moderate pace; you should be able to manage stairs and uneven ground comfortably.

Good to know
This suits wine enthusiasts and curious visitors who want a practical understanding of biodynamic wine production without heavy theory or pretension. It's also accessible for families with children (under 18s can't taste wine, but can accompany adults and view the farm and museum); prams are welcome and infant seats can be arranged if you book ahead. The tour operates regardless of weather, so bring appropriate clothing. The winery is wheelchair accessible in the museum and tasting areas, though the farm walk itself may have uneven terrain. Transportation to and from the site is your responsibility — plan for that separately. Minimum booking is two people. The minimum legal drinking age is 18; younger visitors can attend but won't participate in tastings.
