We all like to travel and see new places, but in the latest years, interest in new forms of tourism has increased. In addition, as a result of the paradigm shift imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, we are opting for a more local and rural tourism where we seek to live experiences from within the visited destination.
Wine has become the protagonist, since wine tourism getaways are one of the most popular options for those looking to escape from the city for a few days.
¿What is enotourism?
Enotourism or enological tourism consists of making the wine world known from the inside: wineries, vineyards, production processes, history … In addition, it is also closely related to gastronomic tourism and cultural tourism linked to the wine industry.
Thus, wine tourism arises from the combination of rural tourism, culture, gastronomy, and wine as the main protagonist. The culture of wine, its architecture or its landscape are some of the elements that stand out in this type of trip.
What enotourism activities does Jean Leon offer?
For us, enotourism is one of the pillars of our winery, with the aim of making our region and our culture known through our wines. We offer you a wide variety of activities that adapt to all tastes and moments.
Our Visitor Center, opened in 2002, is inspired by the Californian style of the 50s as a tribute to the years that Jean Leon lived in Hollywood, so it is a bright and totally open space, integrated in the nature of the vineyards .
