Wine tasting and tour at Bodegas Vegalfaro
Visit Bodegas Vegalfaro for a tour of the winery followed by a tasting of four wines paired with local cuisine
Bodegas Vegalfaro is a family winery that was established in 1999 by Andres Valiente and his son Rodolfo Valiente. The name Vegalfaro is a combination of the word ‘vega’ and Casa Alfaro, that is the historical name of their property. Rodolfo works hard to maintain a distinct style of wine that combines its traditional and modern innovative practices. Bodegas Vegalfaro Winery wants their wines to show the unique qualities of their historic region. Bodegas Vegalfaro produces wines in three denominations: D.O. Utiel-Requena, D.O. Cava, and D.O.P. Pago de Los Balaguese. The winery owns a Vino de Pago, a very exclusive single owner vineyard designation within Spain’s wine laws, which also has an organic certification. All wines produced at Bodegas Vegalfaro are vegan and pure.
Bodegas Vegalfaro has a Vino de Pago designated vineyard, one of Spain’s most prestigious vineyard classifications which is also certified organic.
The vineyards of Bodegas Vegalfaro estate at Los Balaguese are award-winning. Bodegas Vegalfaro preserves the soil, and chooses not to use fertilizer on their land. In addition to the vineyards, the surrounding area houses almond trees, olive trees, and pine forests. The earth has marl and calcareous deposits that ensure excellent water supply. The vineyards are cultivated in the terraces formed by the Cabriel river floods. The beautiful landscape is perfect for high-quality grape production.
The winery owns almost 60 hectares of vines with the aim of protecting the environment and the soil. Solar panels are present at Bodegas Vegalfaro for efficient energy use. The vineyards grow grape varieties like the Syrah, Garnacha Tintorera, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Bobal, Tempranillo, and Macabeo. The grapes go into the production of their famous red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines.

We were met by Fernando, the owner of Bodegas Vegalfaro who proceeded to give us and very detailed and informative tour of the vineyard and winery, followed by a tutored tasting of 5 wines that they produce (1 Cava, 1 white and 3 red). All in all our group of 8 were very satisfied with our visit and thought it was very good value.
We really enjoy the balance, insights and experimental lust of this winery - great wines
Adorable Rodolfo and organization and the place and everything ! Not too technical so you don’t get “bored”, but the owner was open to questions of any kind! The wines are fantastic and so was the crowd (other Spanish-speaking visitors, we were the only ones speaking English, and felt super comfortable and welcome). No matter where you come from, even if you are local, this is a must see HIGHLIGHT !!!! Some really magical things and connections happened here and that is going to be remembered for many years ahead of us… muchas gracias !
