Jumilla, Wine production region in Murcia, Spain
Jumilla is a municipality in the Region of Murcia, Spain, spread across a large area of land shaped primarily by wine production. The landscape consists of rolling hills covered with vineyards that develop specific qualities at this elevation.
The area has been inhabited since ancient times and was developed by Romans for farming. Medieval Muslim rule shaped its growth until expulsion from the region in the 13th century marked a turning point.
The town celebrates its wine traditions during local festivals in August, where religious processions show how deeply faith runs through community life. These customs remain visible in the streets and churches for visitors to witness.
The town center is easy to explore on foot since shops and markets are close together and the streets are straightforward to navigate. The best way to experience the wine region is to visit local producers directly to see the vineyards and products.
The area holds one of Europe's most significant collections of ungrafted grapevines, which survived the phylloxera crisis of the 19th century. These ancient vines make the region known worldwide among winemakers for its historical importance.
