Marques de Riscal

Yesterday my international business class went on a company visit to a winery! It was an hour and 45 min. trip there, but the place was beautiful. Pictures to come!

Wines from the heirs of the Marquis de Riscal is still writing its history in the XXI century with the creation of the City of Wine, a project that marks a before and after in the way of understanding the world of wine.

The City of Wine is part of Project 2000, the company's strategic plan, a bridge between the nineteenth and twenty-first century, as is a commitment between tradition and modernity: construction of a warehouse (San Vicente) with the latest technology, investment in a new bottle, the installation of a laboratory for analysis and control of wine, and in general all the technological improvements to keep up to date and ensure the highest quality wines.

The complex, located in Elciego (Álava), consists of the old winery of Marqués de Riscal (1858), one of the oldest in Rioja, and a new building designed by Canadian architect Frank O. Gehry, and home to the Hotel Marqués de Riscal, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Spa Caudalie ® Vinothérapie, two exclusive restaurants Rioja advised by the chef, Francis Paniego as well as a center for meetings, conferences and banquets.
