La Horra – Wine, Culture and Nature

La Horra can be explored through specific places and formats, especially where wine, history and landscape come together.

When comparing a holiday apartment in La Horra, you can compare travel dates, room category and cancellation policies side by side on the offer pages. These three fields provide an objective basis for comparing different travel plans without reducing the choice of location to a single focus.

Wine

At Bodega Marqués de Velilla, cellar tours followed by a tasting of two wines are offered from Monday to Friday, except on public holidays; advance telephone booking is required.

Bodegas Asenjo&Manso offers groups of more than eight people a cellar tour with a tasting of two wines. There is also a premium tasting featuring three wines and snacks.

Dominio de Montelahorra invites visitors to a cellar tour, a wine tasting and an exploration of its history. The tour of Bodegas LA HORRA includes a guided tasting of the CORIMBO and CORIMBO I wines as well as AUBOCASSA extra virgin olive oil.

For your own planning, the wine destinations can be distinguished by whether an appointment is required, group size, the scope of the tasting and the combination of wine with history or olive oil. These comparison points structure the offers without turning the individual formats into a single unified programme.

The Museo del Vino displays the wine history of La Horra and several tools that were used for winegrowing.

The different options can be viewed as independent components for planning your day and arranged according to your personal focus. Cultural details, wine-related aspects and physical activity each represent a separate way of exploring the area.

Culture

The Iglesia de la Asunción has a three-aisled interior with so-called hall churches. Two reliefs from the 12th century are located on the high altar. The portal of the Iglesia de la Asunción, with its large arch, dates from 1780.

The underground wine-cellar area known as “Cogollos” is famous for its distinctive cone-shaped zarceras.

La Horra’s Semana Cultural is celebrated in August. Church architecture, the history of winegrowing and August as the month of the event can be considered separately when planning your trip.

Nature

The Sendero Paseos por el Monte begins in La Horra and is approximately 12 km long.

The Montes de La Horra and de Villalobón are mainly covered with pine trees. The Doncel de Mataperras, also called Pino Gordo, is a 22-metre-high native pine tree with a normal circumference of 4.2 metres.

The contrast between named individual features and larger landscape areas gives nature observation different scales. You can weigh route length, the landscape theme and the cultural offering separately when planning your day.
