Ribera del Duero

The Ribera del Duero comarca extends along 115 kilometers of the Duero River, encompassing numerous vineyards and traditional wine-producing municipalities in northern Spain.

The region's wine production traces back to Roman times, with significant development occurring when Benedictine monks from Cluny introduced new viticulture methods in the twelfth century.

The comarca centers around Aranda de Duero, where local festivals celebrate wine production through tastings, exhibitions, and traditional gastronomy throughout the year.

Visitors can explore over 300 wineries in the region, with many offering guided tours and tastings of wines made primarily from the Tempranillo grape variety.

The continental Mediterranean climate, with temperature variations between hot summers and cold winters, creates specific conditions for grape cultivation at elevations ranging from 750 to 1000 meters.
