A TRIP FULL OF FLAVOR. DISCOVER THE FOUR GREAT WINE TOURISM ROUTES WE HAVE IN ARAGON AND OUR FOUR ROUTES DESIGNED FOR YOU TO DISCOVER THE LANDSCAPE, THE WINE AND ITS MONUMENTAL CITIES. COME, YOU WILL NOT REPENT!
ROUTE OF THE GARNACHA
The Denomination of Origin of Campo de Borja is one of the oldest in Aragon, its vineyards have been documented since 1203. The main variety grown, 80% is Garnacha, which determines the flavor of these dense, tasty wines with fruity aromas. Through the Garnacha Route you can visit from the 17th century palace of the Counts of Bureta to an authentic hill winery (a centuries-old tradition in Aragon ), caves dug with picks and shovels in soft lands in which families traditionally they made their own wine.
What to do on the Garnacha Route?
CYCLOTURIST GARNACHA AND BIKE
Garnacha & Bike offers you a 152 km route full of landscapes and towns where you will discover their people, their way of life and their hospitality. Along the route the world of wine will surround you as there are more than 7,000 hectares of vineyards settled throughout the DO Campo de Borja territory (Tarazona and Moncayo and Campo de Borja region).
MUSHING BETWEEN VINEYARDS
We willshare an experience of active and unique participation in the art of traveling aboard a wheeled sled pulled by the team of Nordic adopted dogs, exploring and discovering splendid and majestic landscapes among the vineyards and varieties of olive and almond trees and orchards of the Garnacha Empire.
CARIÑENA WINE ROUTE
If we talk about wine in Aragon we talk about Cariñena. It is the oldest production area, dating back to Roman times. Its fame increased in the late Middle Ages, but the great increase in commercialization took place at the beginning of the 19th century until it reached European fame from 1865, when phylloxera reduced French production. The Campo de Cariñena Wine Route runs around wine of course, but also water, ceramics, some Roman remains, Goya paintings, charming villages and a lot of nature.

And if we do all this in such a special enclave surrounded by vineyards … the feeling of peace and well-being is multiplied by 2.
VIÑARTE
The experience combines the visit to the winery and the tasting of its wines with artistic painting, where a professional teacher teaches us to create a great work of art step by step.
A different night away from home. Tasting wine while transforming a blank canvas into a true masterpiece. Also, if this masterpiece is one of the labels of the wines we taste … what can go wrong?
Throughout a trip through the Sierra de Algairén and the Cariñena countryside we will get to know two of the star products of the area: the wine of the Denomination of Origin and the truffles.
