Bodegas Virtus is a testament to two intertwined passions: horses and wine. Don Mariano, a cavalry general, passed down his deep admiration for horses to his family. In 1986, Paloma Escribano pursued her dream of establishing a winery in Ribera del Duero, focusing on sustainability and a commitment to natural winemaking without chemical additives. This vision made her one of the first female winemakers in the region and a pioneer of boutique winemaking.
Set against the backdrop of the historic Peñafiel Castle, Bodegas Virtus thrives in a unique microclimate shaped by the Duratón River and limestone hills. This environment nurtures a rich family tradition that intertwines the love for horses and wine. In 2012, Iñigo López de la Osa Escribano took the helm of the winery, continuing the legacy of quality and craftsmanship. Visitors can appreciate the dedication to both equestrian and viticultural excellence that defines Bodegas Virtus, making it a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts and travelers alike.

We had a great time. We were a group of friends and Javier gave us a tour of the wineries, explaining to us with great care and detail everything that is most important. We also enjoyed the tasting at the end of the tour, it couldn't have ended in a better way! In general, everything was wonderful, an experience that I would definitely repeat.

Visita em Outubro de 2024. Interessante projeto em Ribera del Duero, diferenciado em todos os aspetos. A visita é muito intimista e realizada com muita atenção ao detalhe e qualidade. Os três vinhos desta Bodega destacam-se muito mesmo! Um especial agradecimento ao Javier por toda a disponibilidade!

Wow! What an experience. This was the best wine tasting we've ever been to. They had activities for the kids. Wine straight from the barrel, and great conversation made for an exceptional experience.

I was able to fully understand the winery manufacturing process through the introduction of Managing Director Javier. Virtus plans to export wine to Korea for the first time. We are very proud to be the first Koreans to visit Virtus 😀😁🤣 Currently selling 2 types of red and 1 type of white. We plan to sell one additional white product in 2025. The wine tasting with jamon was also good. White is There was a unique feeling of red wine. The red tasted like the heavy Tempranio variety. so We ended up buying 3 bottles 😀😃😄 If you want to go on a wine tour in Spain, I definitely recommend you visit. I recommend tasting it when it is sold in Korea!!!
