Visit Ontañón Wineries
For more than 25 years Ontañón Winery has championed a family-owned, vineyard-first philosophy in Rioja Oriental, cultivating 250 hectares of Tempranillo, Garnacha and other native grapes on the high slopes of the Sierra de Yerga (Alfaro and the Cidacos Valley, Quel). Founded by Gabriel Pérez and now led by winemaker Raquel Pérez Cuevas, the estate crafts wines that capture the soul of these distinctive terrains with every vintage. Inside the cellars, oak barrels share space with striking sculptures and paintings inspired by classical mythology, turning the winery into a living wine-and-art museum. Visitors can tour the vineyards, taste estate wines and explore exhibitions that celebrate the link between Mediterranean culture, gastronomy and beauty. From its deep roots in Quel to its modern interpretation of Rioja wine, vineyard tourism and art, Ontañón offers an immersive experience that pairs premium wines, local cuisine and creative storytelling—a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic Rioja innovation with generations of tradition.
