Spas para una escapada enológica

In Spain we can boast of many things, but among them there is something that stands out: the wine tradition and the quality of our wines. That's why this week we propose combining the pleasures of a good spa with the pleasures of a good wine in one of these spas for a wine getaway.

To enjoy a good wine and a good spa, you don't have to look far: Valencian Community, Castilla la Mancha, Penedés, Ribeira Sacra, L'Empordà, Canarias, Málaga, Córdoba, Jerez, Sanlúcar de Barrameda... that's not counting Ribera del Duero or La Rioja, they are sure to be full of places where you can enjoy the pleasures of water and wine.

But if you want to make a getaway to enjoy all that wine culture has to offer, you can't miss the selection of spas for an oenological getaway that we have prepared.

GUIDE!

Hotel Marqués de Riscal (Alava, Basque Country)

In the Rioja Alavesa, in the small town of Elciego, you will find this spectacular hotel that we already told you about in this article with the best spas for couples.

The Hotel Marqués de Riscal, integrated with the winery of the heirs of Marqués de Riscal, you are not going to leave indifferent.

Starting with its impressive architecture, designed by Frank O. Gehry, the architect who created the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, continuing with its surroundings (you will literally sleep among vineyards), its restaurant, awarded with a Michelin star, and its wines, and ending with its spa.

It is hypnotic how the avant-garde structure of the building is integrated with the most deeply rooted winemaking tradition.

If you decide to take a wine getaway to Hotel Marqués de Riscal you can enjoy wine through the five senses: with treatments based on the virtues of the vines and grapes, with barrel baths, or visiting their cellars.

Finca de Los Arandinos (La Rioja)

Without leaving the wines with D.O. Rioja, nor the spas for an oenological getaway, we moved to the Sierra del Moncalvillo.

In a setting surrounded by centuries-old olive trees and vineyards is the Finca de Los Arandinos which stands out nestled in a hill that dominates the landscape.

Among other experiences, you can enjoy an oenological stay that begins with a spa circuit with wine therapy treatment podal, and ends with a dinner with local products and watered with wines from their own winery, plus a visit to the winery with wine tasting and tasting.

Or maybe you prefer to enjoy an experience in which architecture and wine merge, starting with a relaxing circuit in the spa, continuing with a visit to 3 design wineries in the region, and a walk through the medieval village of Laguardia.

Hotel Spa Arzuaga (Valladolid, Castilla y León)

To enjoy D.O. Ribera del Duero wines, one of the spas for an oenological getaway that we propose is the Hotel Spa Arzuaga.

Here you can not only enjoy its facilities and a relaxing spa session, but you can also live oenological experiences such as a visit to Finca La Planta and its wildlife reserve (and be left with your mouth open watching deer and wild boars), with visit to the Arzuaga winery, different tastings, and visits, bike rides with a picnic, tasting workshops or experience the vintage from the inside, if you go during the grape picking season.

Monasterio de Valbuena (Valladolid, Castilla y León)

You can also enjoy wine tourism by staying at the best preserved 12th-century Cistercian monastery in Europe, the Monastery of Valbuena, without a doubt one of the most unique wine getaway spas in our selection.

In its experience "Between waters and vineyards" you can discover the secrets of wine and move between the landscapes of the Ribera del Duero and the D. O. de Rueda, in addition to enjoying an exclusive Vinotherapy treatment.

Can Bonastre Wine Resort (Barcelona, Catalonia)

We travel east on our tour of the best spas for a wine getaway and say goodbye to Castilian wines to taste those from the Penedès DO

At the Can Bonastre Wine Resort, located in a farmhouse, you can take a tour of the Can Bonastre winery, where you will take a complete tour of the entire winemaking process, from the cultivation of the vines to the tasting.

Cava Hotel Mastinell (Barcelona, Catalonia)

Among the most original spas for a wine getaway in our selection is the Cava Hotel Mastinell where you will not taste traditional wines (or at least not the main wines you will taste), but you will enjoy our most international sparkling wine: cava.

This is a boutique hotel whose architecture, a tribute to Gaudí, is inspired by the rounded shapes of the bottles when they rest in the cellars.

At Cava Hotel Mastinell they offer day experiences in which you will not only learn about the winemaking process of their wines, but will also learn to perceive the subtle differences between them.

 

La Casa del Convento (Chinchón, Madrid)

Although we also told you about the Casa del Convento with spa in our couples spa selection, it is also one of our favorite spas for a wine getaway.

There are those who may think that in Madrid there is no wine tradition, however, nothing could be further from the truth. Within the D. O. Vinos de Madrid you can find the wines of Chinchón, which you can taste in a tasting inside a cave that owns this house if you decide to stay in it (in addition to enjoying the magical setting of the town).

Hotel Enoturismo Mainetes (Albacete, Castilla-La Mancha)

To finish our selection of spas for a wine getaway, we go to Castilla La Mancha, because in Albacete you can find the experience you've been looking for.

At the Hotel Enoturismo Mainetes a spectacular estate halfway between Albacete and Murcia, you can enjoy the relaxation of the spa and immerse yourself in the heart of a winery, while tasting wines, perhaps less known, but certainly delicious.

On our journey through the best spas for a wine getaway we have left out many regions. I'm sure there are fantastic establishments scattered throughout Spain.

But we are sure that if you decide to make a getaway to any of the hotels and rural houses that we propose, you will leave so delighted that you will come back to repeat.

Maybe, in the future, we can add other establishments to our selection.
