Viña Real — Winery in Laguardia

High on a hill stands this mighty, cylindrical building, designed by Frenchman Philippe Mazières, the same architect who designed the cellars of Château Margaux and Château Lafite-Rothschild. Construction took from 1997 to 2004. The absolute highlight: two enormous tunnels, 125 metres long and 15 metres high, carved into the rock of the hill, where the barrels are stored.

The 2004 winery, with cellars dug into the hill, can be visited; book by phone.
