VISIT IRACHE WINERY IN NAVARRA | WINE TOURISM
The history of the winery is intrinsically linked to the history of
Irache Monastery and its wine production since ancient times.
The Irache Monastery is the largest monumental complex in Navarre and its foundation dates back to the 10th century.
Already in the 11th century the Benedictine monks who occupied the Monastery produced wines appreciated by the royal family of Navarre.
THE CATHEDRAL OF WINE
Under the architectural influence of the Monastery, the winery's aging cellar was built in the 1990s. A spectacular space made up of imposing columns topped by semicircular arches that have led some connoisseurs to call it "the cathedral of wine".
