Wine tourism by town in Lérida

Lleida wine, who feels it, does not forget it.

Wine tourism in the province of Lleida is composed of fifteen localities and a wine route, the one of Lleida, which, by the way, has a very top wine tourism. Of its fifteen localities, we recommend Verdú and La Pobla de Cérvoles, for being the destinations with the highest concentration of wineries on their land. This area is also known for its oil mills. Wine has been cultivated here since Roman times, but its period of splendor was in the 19th century before the arrival of phylloxera, which also affected the vineyards in this area, and after which new vines were introduced in the vineyards. Bodegas Vinya Els Vilar has a space to receive caravans. So you will have parking for your caravan, which we know that for those who practice caravanning is something of utmost importance, and in addition, you can have a good wine. In Costers del Sió there is the Analec winery, which offers a wonderful experience in the vineyard consisting of a picnic with a tasting of 5 wines. For those who like good food, the key word is calçotada, a very typical dish of the area, and that Bodegas Matallonga, in Fulleda, offers for you and yours. If you are into a more sybarite wine tourism, we recommend you to go to Mas Blac i Jove, in La Pobla de Cérvolas, because there they organize vertical tastings and you can deepen your knowledge of wine. And continuing with the sybaritism, especially that of tasting rare grapes, in the Vila Corona winery there is a white German grape called Riesling, so you can compare it with other local varieties. If you are into oenoculture, you can complete your stay in Lleida with a visit to renowned monuments such as the Castle of Verdú or the Cistercian monastery of Vallbona. In addition to the calçotada, which is the star dish or, at least, one of the most emblematic, another local dish that attracts attention are the snails a la llauna. By the way, we forgot, the Lleida wine festival is at the end of October, around the last week, and wine tastings are usually accompanied by music and gastronomic delights. So... you know. If you're around, come along.
