Embark on a captivating journey into the world of winemaking with this National Geographic Day Tour at Bodegas Campestral, a family-run vineyard that showcases both tradition and sustainability in Arcos de la Frontera. The knowledgeable owner, Andres, will guide you through the intricate grape selection process.
Explore the wine cellar, witness the harvest, and learn about the fermentation procedures, including the traditional method of crushing grapes by foot.
Venture into the underground cellar to observe the wine tanks and gain insights into the bottling process. As a special activity exclusive to National Geographic travelers, Andres will demonstrate the meticulous technique of disgorging an Ancestral wine bottle—removing sediment from sparkling wine after fermentation--right in the heart of the bodega. This is a rare opportunity to witness centuries-old winemaking techniques in action.
Finally, indulge in a delightful tasting experience featuring a selection of their finest wines, expertly paired with shared tapas. Andres will provide insightful commentary on the unique characteristics that make their wines exceptional, highlighting their commitment to environmental sustainability, carbon neutrality, and organic cultivation.
