Wineries in Castilla-La Mancha are easily accessible by different means of transportation.
On this plateau, where Miguel de Cervantes placed his hero Don Quixote, Castilla-La Mancha wineries produce almost half of Spain’s wine. Castilla-La Mancha is the largest wine region in Spain, around the capital Madrid. For centuries Castilla-La Mancha wineries took advantage of the harsh land and the dry climate, cultivating grapes where vine diseases are practically unknown and the bush-shaped plants make life easy for the winemakers during pruning time. In the land of tradition and history Castilla-La Mancha wineries, the last 40 years, with the instrumental aid of Carlos Falcó Fernandez de Córdova, became the modern heroes by producing high-quality wines.
Castilla-La Mancha has a continental Mediterranean climate. The temperatures can be extreme for not benefiting from the influence of the sea: it is very hot in summer, when the temperatures often exceed 30 °C, and very cold in winter when they are often below 0 °C. This being said, it is no surprise that it snows regularly in winter. Therefore, before you decide to visit the wineries in Castilla-La Mancha try to avoid winter and the hot days of summer. It is full of festivals from February to October.
Wineries in Castilla-La Mancha belong to passionate winemakers, mostly family-owned wineries, producing high-quality wines.

Winemakers in Castilla-La Mancha did not have a large selection of grape varieties cultivated in their vineyards. In fact, there was only one, Airen! Literally! It was the most durable white variety enduring long anhydrous summers and freezing winters. Over the years, wineries in Castilla-La Mancha have broadened their portfolios. Pardilla (Pardillo) and Viura (Macabeo) compose the puzzle of the native varieties along with Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
