Fuenmayor:

Finca Valpiedra

Finca Valpiedra is one of the wineries which belongs to the Familia Martinez Bujanda Group. It was opened in 1999 and manages the production cycle from the beginning to the end. The winery and its 80 hectares of vineyard are located in the best area of the Rioja Qualified Appellation of Origin, in a spectular meander of the river Ebro.
The family highly values the concept of “terroir” and has therefore chosen to produce wines from grapes grown in their own vineyard, thus resulting in wines with a strong personality. Modern, exclusive wines with extraordinary characteristics, born from carefully selected grapes in the 30 year-old vineyard surrounding the winery. Tradition and modernism come together in Finca Valpiedra
During the visit, you will first be given a short speech whilst admiring the view over the vineyard, and you will be shown the wine-making process and the ageing room, with its 2500 barrels and bottles. Finally you will be able to taste their wines. If you wish you can then go for a walk in the vineyard.
