A long-standing tradition of good wine, together with the concerted effort, geniality and savoir-faire of our people resulted in the creation of the largest Cariñena D.O winery, and indeed, the largest winery in the Autonomous Community of Aragón. Grandes Vinos y Viñedos was founded as a company on 1st September 1997 to channel the sales of five Cariñena D.O. co-operatives.

Grandes Vinos y Viñedos is a happy reality. The overriding importance it places on quality focuses on combining traditional winemaking with modern methods of research, new work systems and a better control of all of the processes, starting from the vine.

House where was born Francisco de Goya
Paintworks Museum
Exhibition Room Ignacio Zuloaga

After, at about 12:00h we'll continue our trip to Cariñena, where we'll pay a visit to a Cariñena D.O winery. During this visit a wine-grower will explain us all the wine preparation process and we finished with a lunch in the same winery. After lunch we'll come back to Zaragoza.

Visitors can organise a route, discovering the magic of the new facilities of Grandes Vinos y Viñedos, as well as the Muel Ceramics School-Workshop or the village in which Aragón's most international artist, Francisco de Goya, was born and in which his home, the Etching Museum or old schools, converted into the "Ignacio Zuloaga" temporary exhibition centre can be visited.

This is an art, which is familiar, voluptuous and sensual, just like the wine, which brings us into intimate contact with our land. The light and shade of an art, which requires man's hand to bring it to life. Our land, which is red, the colour of passion, red as the sun, which breathes life into it; a land of artists in which our wines are born.
