The Rueda Wine Route is located in the province of Valladolid, where we can find 23 wineries. The route passes through 9 towns where Rueda is the most important wine tourism destination, with 9 wineries to visit.




South of Valladolid, we find one of the most important areas of the country in the production of high quality white wines. Viura is the main grape variety of these young wines from Valladolid, and it gives the wines an unmistakable personality, due to its aroma, body and smoothness. Even so, the winemakers of this appellation want to continue innovating and are experimenting with late harvesting and aging. The wine trade developed mainly in the 15th century in parallel with the wool market, which along with wine, was exported to Europe. At this time, Medina del Campo was an important trading center. Es interesante saber que ya desde esta época, el vino de Rueda se elaboraba con la técnica del sistema de criaderas, sistema que posteriormente fue tomado por los viticultores de Jerez, al sur de España. El prestigio de estos vinos se debe sobre todo a que en 1599, cuando la monarquía residía en la ciudad de Valladolid, servía en su mesa los vinos de Ruedo, costumbre que se mantuvo incluso después del cambio a Madrid. En los grandes autores de los siglos de Oro, desde Cervantes hasta Quevedo pasando por Lope de Vega, se citan estos vinos.
