Description

Enjoy a tasting of Valencian wines while you take a boat trip on the Albufera, Spain's largest freshwater lake.

When you reach the village of El Palmar, a few kilometres from the city of Valencia, we will be waiting for you at the 'Rosa la barquera y Tonet' pier.

From there we will take the typical traditional boat and go to the chosen place to start the wine tasting.

In the meantime, the boatwoman or the boatman will tell you the history of the village, the traditions and give you information about the flora and fauna of the natural park. Once stopped, we will serve the wines. We will talk about the wineries, the winemaking process and the grape varieties. All accompanied by an aperitif (tapas, cheeses, sausages, etc).

And one of the best things: we can even watch the sunset.
