Bodeagas Arzuaga — Winery in Quintanilla de Onésimo

The bodega, hotel, restaurant and spa lie together in the heart of 65 hectares of vineyards (and close to the legendary Vega Sicilia!). Tours of the wine cellars and vineyards explain the production process from harvest to bottling. A special feature is Finca La Planta, the 1,400-hectare estate at more than 900 metres altitude, where deer, mouflon and wild boar roam freely: an unusual combination of wine estate and game reserve. You can walk through the estate among the vineyards, with a chance of spotting wildlife. It's an ideal place for lunch or dinner too, with two options. Restaurant Taller by Amaya Arzuaga is the main restaurant, run by Amaya Arzuaga (the founder's daughter), with one Michelin star and one Repsol Sun. El Viejo Nogal is the more informal place to eat on the estate, named after the centuries-old walnut tree on the property: traditional Castilian cooking with suckling lamb (lechazo), grilled meat, local cheeses and sausages. A more accessible alternative if you don't want the full tasting menu but still want to eat on the estate. Both are open to hotel guests and day visitors. Do check the website for all the options.
