1 / 7
Bodegas Fariña - by Freddy Turiaf on Google
Description
Bodegas Fariña is a winery located in Toro that specializes in growing the red Tinta de Toro and the white Malvasía varietals on its 300ha of vineyards. It is equipped with modern facilities and its top floor houses a museum dedicated to wine and art. The estate runs guided visits (in Spanish) of 90mins several times a week with the option to follow them with a tasting of 5 of their wines.
Access & Transport
The bodegas is 2km northeast from the centre of Toro, and 3km from the train station. There is parking space on site. Toro's closest city is Valladolid, 65km away on the A-62 then A-11 through Tordesillas or 1h by train. Salamanca is 1h drive away as well (70km) and the town of Zamora is 40km west (20mins by train)
Instructions & Recommendations
Note that minors under 18 years old can attend the Tour for free but are not allowed to drink wine. Advanced reservation is required; the contact is: pedidosonline@bodegasfarina.com
Environmental & Social
Environmentally neutral. Socially the cultural aspect (discovery of the terroir and wine-making culture of the Zamora region) partially evens out the alcohol element.
Conclusion
The Bodegas Fariña is one of several good options with scheduled visits and tastings in Toro. Nothing out of the ordinary besides the wine and art museum but a good way to discover the D.O. Toro wines and their specificities.
Key positive
Run through the entire production facilities
Fairly priced
Key negative
Visits only in Spanish
No direct online booking
Suitability
Only adults will be able to taste wine. The visit is described as accessible for wheelchair users on some websites but we doubt that it is the case for the museum and can't confirm for the cellar area
