Start the year in a village in La Rioja, surrounded by vineyards that change with the seasons. Have a leisurely breakfast, stroll among Tempranillo vines, visit a winery and discover that behind each glass there is a history, a land and a way of life. Wine has been shared, talked about and enjoyed here for two thousand years.
Then, you move to the Ribera del Duero, where wine is not only in your glass: it is in the kitchen, in the squares, in the village festivals... In places like Peñafiel or Aranda de Duero, the pace is calm and every day has something to savor. You can sign up for a route, try local recipes, photograph everything around you or simply enjoy breathing fresh air.
And you end the year in Jerez or in the Penedès, where wine is mixed with light, music and joy. In Jerez, fortified wine -such as fino or oloroso- is part of the local culture. In the Penedès, cava is the protagonist, and every toast has its moment. Here you don't need to know about varieties or pairings: you just have to be there, taste, walk among the vines and let yourself be carried away by the atmosphere.
Since ancient times, wine has been a symbol of celebration, community and pleasure. In Greek mythology, Bacchus -the god of wine- represented the joy of living, well-deserved rest and the link with the earth. Today, that spirit is still alive in the wine-producing villages of Spain.
With 148 officially recognized quality seals -105 Protected Designations of Origin (PDO) and 43 Protected Geographical Indications (PGI) - Spain is one of the most diverse and prestigious countries in wine production. And not only that: in 2023, 2,977,115 people traveled wine routes (ACEVIN), attracted by the authenticity, quality of life and natural environment.
To live among vineyards is to live in quiet areas, with good food, clean air, local culture and time to enjoy. You can learn, participate, walk, photograph, write or just be. Wine here is an excuse to reconnect with what is simple, what is well done and what really appeals.
To live depeeme is also to savor what surrounds you and to be part of its history.
