La Portera – Vineyards, Wineries and Horseback Riding

La Portera brings together wine and trails in a range of different experiences. The “Enoturismo y Caballo Requena-Utiel” experience offers a guided horseback ride on mountain trails; no prior experience is required.

Nature

Bodegas Novos is located at C/ Rincones, km 1, in La Portera, Requena. A visit includes a walk through centuries-old vineyards. Ladrón de Lunas has 24 hectares of its own vineyards. In La Portera, Vinos y Sabores Ecológicos has 18 hectares, where grapevines are the main crop. The four grape varieties grown there are Bobal, Garnacha, Tempranillo and Chardonnay.

For planning purposes, these details can be understood by format: the horseback ride, the walk through old vines and the specified vineyard areas each emphasize different aspects. The hectare figures and grape varieties make the viticulture specifically comparable and give the impressions on site a clear thematic structure.

Culture

At Bodegas Novos, the tour includes a tasting of three characteristic wines. Iberian cured meats, cheese and bread are served with them. Vinos y Sabores Ecológicos offers vineyard tours, wine tastings, degustations and training on the culture and knowledge of vines and wine. The “Enoturismo y Caballo Requena-Utiel” experience also includes a visit to a winery with tastings of wine, cava and artisanally produced sausage.

When choosing a suitable focus for the day, the offers described can be distinguished by the way visitors participate: the horseback ride is activity-oriented, the vineyard walk is landscape-focused, and tours, tastings and training emphasize enjoyment or learning. The references to cava, cured meats, cheese and bread indicate different accompaniments, without implying a shared itinerary.

The various offers do not form a fixed itinerary, but can instead be viewed as different components: a walk, tasting, degustation, training and horseback ride each have their own emphasis. The selection of accompanying products also remains specific: wine, cava, cured meats, cheese and bread are included in the formats mentioned.

History

Vinos y Sabores Ecológicos began in 2009 in the family vineyard of the Novella-Herrero family, which has existed for four generations. The Ladrón de Lunas winery was founded in La Portera in 2005 and brings together expertise passed down through several generations devoted to wine. Fernando Martínez Relanzón was born in 1974 as the first member of the sixth generation of a family devoted to wine.

For interested visitors, the years, family connections and described offers can be viewed side by side as different perspectives on vines and wine. The historical perspective complements the practical formats of tours, visits, tastings and training.

When searching for a holiday apartment in La Portera, you can compare travel dates, room category and cancellation policies on the respective offer pages. These three fields structure the comparison, while the local wine and horseback riding experiences highlight different options for your personal day planning.
