Depart the pier for a scenic drive to Viñas la Cerca, in the countryside of Cartagena, situated in the outskirts of the city.
Upon arrival, a member of the Alcaraz Family will personally welcome you to his family vineyard with more than 150 years of history. You will discover the traditional crops of the local varieties of Monastrell and Merseguera grapes, which are grown in a respectful process with the environment.
Proceed to visit the small museum that he has created and learn more about the winery and its wine cellar that has maintained its know-how and great dedication to the selection of the very best and richest wines of Cartagena.
Take the chance to taste traditional wines and some typical countryside food, such as artichoke hearts with salted roe, a cheese selection, chips, olives and Iberian cold cuts, accompanied by two of their wines: a red hand-made Monastrell wine and a white Meseguera Viñas La Cerca "Artesano", the original golden wine of the Cartagena countryside.
After this wonderful local experience, you will enjoy a panoramic drive and short walking tour around Cartagena main’s street where you will also have some free time before returning to the pier.
