We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
At Bodegas Pago de Almaraes, we are fully aware of the need to protect the environment and respect our surroundings.
That is why we have implemented measures to help reduce the environmental impact of our operations:
- Our wines are the result of a meticulous selection and production process. Each bottle is unique, with nuances that delight the palate and evoke the landscapes of the Granada Geopark.
- We reduce our consumption of energy, water, and other resources.
We encourage all our customers to join us in this commitment by using water and energy responsibly, purchasing local products, and visiting traditional artisans and producers.

Experience wine from its very origins, amidst the caves and unique landscape of the Granada Geopark.
During this experience at the Pago de Almaraes Winery, you’ll immerse yourself in the unique landscape of the Granada Geopark, in Benalúa de Guadix, with breathtaking views of the north face of the Sierra Nevada. This is a region steeped in history, where the Machurris—an ancient settlement—lies right next to the winery, connecting us to the roots of this place and the origins of the Almaraes Trail.
During the visit, you’ll get an up-close look at a winemaking process far removed from industrial methods. Here, the harvest is done by hand and is demanding—a truly heroic form of viticulture shaped by the region’s conditions, where the grapes are picked in the height of summer and brought to the winery to begin a meticulous, artisanal process: destemming, pressing, fermentation, and aging.
One of the most special moments is the tour of the barrel room, located in a spectacular clay cave spanning over 3,600 m², where the wines age in American and French oak barrels, taking advantage of the natural conditions of the environment.
The experience concludes with a tasting of five to six wines, accompanied by local products such as regional cured meats and artisanal bread from a traditional oven, highlighting the region’s cuisine and producers.
An authentic experience that will allow you to understand wine from its origins, in direct connection with the landscape, history, and the people who make it possible.
Discover the character of the Geopark through its wines and its people.
