Why you should visit Aranda de Duero

  1. Visit Ribera del Duero wineries. This one is a no-brainer. Aranda de Duero is the beating heart of the Ribera del Duero wine region, and there are world class vineyards just waiting to be explored all around. The official Ribera del Duero DO is responsible for the wines of the region, and is a good place to start when looking for wineries to visit. Keep in mind that you may need to book in advance, some wineries may not be open to the public, and that seasonality can be a factor: Arrive in the height of harvest and you may not be welcomed with open arms! Here, planning ahead is vital!
  2. Visit the city’s underground cellars. The wine cellars or bodegas that lie underneath Aranda de Duero are truly a spectacle to behold. Calling to mind the underground caves of Saint Emilion or Champagne, this is a wine lover’s delight. Even better, you don’t need to leave the city in order to get there.
  3. Churches, churches and more churches! If religious architecture is your thing, Aranda de Duero is the place to be. You’ll find some beautiful and historic cathedrals here and the most impressive among them are Santa María la Real and San Juan.
  4. Festival time. Aranda de Duero is home to the annual festival of la Virgen de las Viñas, our lady of the vines. This is a week-long celebration held in September, and the festivities are not to be missed.
  5. Must-see museums. Take a break from wine tasting and experience some of Aranda de Duero’s speciality museums - the pottery museum and the train museum are well worth a visit!
