BODEGA ANDRES INIESTA – ALBACETE
In the heart of La Manchuela in Albacete is Fuentealbilla, the birthplace of football player Andrés Iniesta. The history of the winery begins in the 1990s when Andrés’s father, José Antonio Iniesta, bet on the wine sector with the planting of 10 hectares of vineyards and the illusion of one day being able to make their own wines. The dream came true in 2010 when Bodega Andrés Iniesta finally opened its doors to the public. Today they host guided visits and wine tasting experiences where you can enjoy a tour accompanied by a qualified guide, learn about the facilities and the process of making wine, and finish with a tasting of four delightful wines, accompanied by a tasting of Manchego cheese and sausages. During the visit you will have a special chance to see Andrés Iniesta’s private room, where you can learn a little more about the illustrious footballer. There is also the option to stay in one of their cosy rural houses, set amongst the vineyards, which includes an enjoyable breakfast, the guided tour and the wine tasting.
