The visits take place outside of the city in a region called Requena. Each winery has its unique character making the visits fun,interesting and informative.Once we have enjoyed tasting the wines we will then have a typical rustic outdoor paella at one of the bodegas (wineries). We return to Valencia late afternoon,leaving you time to further explore the city centre and choose from our recommendations somewhere interesting for dinner.
