Oenophiles and history buffs will appreciate this five-hour excursion to the wine country known as Utiel-Requena, named for two of the area's primary municipalities. Sit back and relax as your coach travels through the countryside that once teemed with Romans planting the first few grape vines. After arriving in Requena you'll tour the enclosed Old Quarter known as the Barrio de la Villa. Stretch your legs and your imagination as you stroll along narrow, cobbled streets and pretty squares that date back 13 centuries. Continuing on you'll make your way to the subterranean world that exists below the town to the Requena Caves, a magical maze of tunnels that have been in use for storing grain and wine since the 13th century. Back on top, you'll visit the Pago de Tharsys winery for a wine tasting accompanied by savory Spanish ham before returning to Valencia.
Special Notes:
Most stores in the Old Quarter are closed on SundaysMany of the shops are closed during Lunch Time.
