Moreover, part of the Vía de la Plata - a path taken by many pilgrims throughout the year - passes through this Wine Route.It is also highly recommended to admire the typical Castilian landscape, where fields of grain alternate with the centuries-old vineyards of the Tierra del Vino region.

What are the wines like?

This area is a privileged place for the cultivation of vines, which is why the production of high quality wine has always served as the territory's economic livelihood.The Tierra del Vino de Zamora D.O. marks the geographical delimitation of the Zamora Wine Route, where winters are very cold and summers are dry and hot. This results in a predominance of varieties such as Malvasía Castellana, Moscatel, Verdejo or Godello in white wines. The red wines of this district include Tinta del País or Tempranillo, which is the main grape variety.
