The Museum of Wine at Vivanco in Briones, Spain worth the visit if you love everything wine.

Another winery well worth a visit is Vivanco.  

Beautiful tanks at Vivanco

 We booked a tour and although it was in Spanish and the English head sets were more trouble than help, the tour was still worth it to get into the underground cellars. 

Barrels as far as the eye can see at Vivanco

Vivanco is a massive producer and the cellar is a thing of beauty. 

Some corkscrews of questionable taste.

The real attraction here though is the Museum of Wine.  The Vivanco family have been accumulating historical wine artefacts for over 40 years and the collection is fascinating, with lots to appreciate for the wine lover.  Allow several hours, take your time and enjoy a break on the patio for glass of wine and a snack.  It’s a great experience.

My bottle is at home waiting for someone special to visit.

Also in Briones is Miquel Merino, a small producer, this father and son winery only produces 90 barrels per year.  Merino senior is making wine in a traditional style and his son is experimenting with new methods.  Book a tour and enjoy a sit down parallel tasting of the 2 styles.
