Pesquera de Duero · Ribera del DueroNº 01
Bodegas Emilio Moro
Emilio Moro has been making wine in Pesquera de Duero for three generations, but the current brand was launched in the 1990s with José Moro at the helm. Today it's one of Ribera's most respected mid-sized houses, with a portfolio from Resalso (entry-level) to Malleolus de Sanchomartín (top of the range, single vineyard). The visit has improved markedly in recent years — modern facilities, a tasting room with vineyard views, and a restaurant serving updated Ribera cuisine.

Nº 03·What to do

Things to do in Aranda de Duero

Underground cellars under the old town

First thing, no debate. The cellars were dug between the 12th and 18th centuries, with breathing shafts (zarceras) emerging at street level. Bodega Las Velas, Bodega de las Ánimas and the cooperative Virgen de las Viñas all run guided visits. The cooperative also includes tasting of local products.

Santa María church

A 15-16th century Plateresque facade, one of the best in Castile. Free entry. Worth going in even if you're not religious.

Bodegas Vega Sicilia (in Valbuena de Duero)

35 km from Aranda. Spain's most prestigious winery. Visits with tasting, by reservation only (weeks or months ahead). If you get a slot, don't think twice.

Bodegas Protos (in Peñafiel)

50 km away. Building designed by Richard Rogers, built into the hillside of Peñafiel castle. Visit plus tasting. More touristy than Vega Sicilia but the building is striking.

Peñafiel castle

50 km, houses the Provincial Wine Museum. Combine with a Protos visit in the same day.
