Route flavours of Elche
Get ready for an unforgettable experience that will delight your senses and immerse you in the authentic flavours of Elche! During this route, we will explore the rich culinary tradition of the region, from extra virgin olive oil to artisanal wines.
The first destination is the Almazara El Tendre, a real treasure of the Bajo Vinalopó region and the oldest olive oil mill in the area. Here, we will witness the production process of extra virgin olive oil, from the harvesting of the olives to their pressing and bottling. Discover the secrets of this golden liquid that has been an integral part of Mediterranean culture for centuries.
Afterwards, we will head to Bodegas Faelo, where we will be welcomed by an oenology expert who will guide us through a fascinating journey through the world of wine. The Bodega is located in a typical house of the Campo de Elche, or "faeneta", with more than a hundred years of history; where the grapes are still trodden in the "afollaor", as grandfather Rafael "Faelo" started to do in 1930. There we will learn about the local grape varieties, the winemaking process and the art of wine tasting. Immerse yourself in the aromas and flavours of Bodegas Faelo's handcrafted wines, each with their own unique history and character.
But the experience doesn't end there, get ready for a tasting of delicious local products that will perfectly complement the wine experience!
