Feria

Seville, beautiful and diverse

wine

The centre is devoted to the history of Cazalla de la Sierra and its famous wines and spirits. The importance of this industry in local development is discovered through a variety of panels, objects and multimedia devices. Its ethnographic value is enhanced by successive temporary exhibitions on specific aspects of Cazalla, such as mycology, bird life and the town’s traditional trades.

In the Sevillian town of Las Navas de la Concepción you can visit El Lagar, which is a superb example of industrial architecture. El Lagar is an old 16th century oil, wine and grain mill which preserves its cellars with their large buried vats, as well as a large wooden beam, the oldest building of its kind, with a beautiful entrance built by the monks.

The centre of the Osa Valley, next to the River Villa, which is hidden from the view of passers-by, is of more recent construction, from the 15th to the 18th century. This area is made up of wider streets, adapted to the flat area, and which reveal the economic power of the landowners, merchants and industrialists of the time.

The winery, owned by José Ignacio Machuca Pimentel S.L., reaches back more than 150 years. It preserves tools and machinery of great historical value, as well as a barrel that dates back almost to the winery’s foundation (1864). The cask is still in good condition and, of course, full of wine. 

Located at 19 Ecija Street, the Bodega El Bodegón Museum is owned by Bodegas Blanco S.L., a family run business of several generations dedicated to making wine and vinegar.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, Cazalla de la Sierra was a nationally important wine-producing centre, and during that period various monastic orders were founded, including the Augustinian order, which founded the San Agustín monastery in the town in 1588 in a chapel called Nuestra Señora de la Soledad.

Bodegas Góngora is located in Villanueva del Ariscal, Seville, in the Aljarafe region. This lies between the Guadalquivir and Guadiamar rivers, at an altitude of 160 metres above sea level. It is located 42 km from the coast, whose dominant winds, called "tides", give it its characteristic microclimate.
