Visit and Tasting at Celler del Roure, in Moixent

The south of La Costera is vine country: the regional tourist office highlights the wines of Moixent and La Font de la Figuera within the D.O. València. Celler del Roure is one of the wineries that open their doors, in the Les Alcusses district, beside the CV-652, the road from Moixent towards Fontanars dels Alforins. From Xàtiva it is about 43 km and a little under 50 minutes by car.

The visit, glass in hand

It is an arranged visit of about two hours that ends in a tasting: three of the house wines, Cullerot, Safrà and Les Alcusses, with rosquilletas to go with them and a free glass. It costs €15 per person. Children do not pay, but you must say how many are coming in the order notes. There is room for 25 people per session, and the winery asks you to arrive a quarter of an hour early.

Booking and changes

It only opens on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, and always by reservation on its website, where you choose the day and time. If you cannot go, give 48 hours' notice to cancel or change the date, subject to availability. Telephones: 96 229 50 20 and 635 524 504.

Who drives

The visit ends with three glasses and the return to Xàtiva is almost 50 minutes by car: decide beforehand who drives, or book somewhere to sleep nearby. If you are spending the day in Xàtiva, it fits on Saturday afternoon, after the castle in the morning. From Bocairent the distance is similar, so it also works for a getaway that combines the two villages.
