On August 12, 2026, Spain will experience the first total solar eclipse visible from the Iberian Peninsula in 121 years. The path of totality enters from the northwest of the Peninsula, crosses Galicia, Castilla y León, La Rioja and the Basque Country, and exits toward the Mediterranean. The Moon will fully cover the solar disc for just over a minute, with the peak expected around 8:28 PM in the area of longest duration.
The coincidence with the peak of the Perseids turns the night of August 12 into one of the most unusual double astronomical events of the century. Twelve wineries across five autonomous communities have designed specific wine tourism proposals to experience the eclipse from the vineyard, with tasting, dinner, live music and guided observation. Prices from €50 to €405 per person.
The path of totality of the 2026 solar eclipse crosses Castilla y León from southwest to northeast, placing the Rueda and Ribera del Duero appellations right in the path of the phenomenon. In this area, the eclipse will reach its peak around 8:30 PM on August 12, with the Moon fully covering the solar disc for approximately 1 minute and 40 seconds at the points of longest totality. Five wineries in the region have prepared proposals with prices ranging from €50 to €405, with programs including everything from biodynamic tastings to Michelin-starred dinners.

More infoUnlike the northern half of the peninsula, Extremadura lies outside the path of totality of the 2026 solar eclipse, so the phenomenon will be visible as a partial eclipse throughout the region. In Cáceres, the eclipse will begin at 7:38 PM, reach its maximum around 8:34 PM, and end at 9:27 PM, almost coinciding with sunset. Set in the heart of the Villuercas-Ibores-Jara UNESCO Global Geopark, Bodegas Ruiz Torres has prepared an evening gathering with award-winning wines, appetizers and live music to enjoy the sunset of August 12th from its viewpoint.

More infoLa Rioja sits in the central stretch of the path of totality of the 2026 solar eclipse. The typically clear August skies, the low light pollution outside urban centers, and the vineyards open onto the Ebro valley make it one of the most favorable spots in Spain for observation. At points such as El Alto de San Vicente, between Briones and San Vicente de la Sonsierra, the total eclipse will reach its peak around 8:28 PM, with the Moon covering 103.3% of the solar disc for 1 minute and 21 seconds. Three wineries in La Rioja have prepared proposals with prices between €65 and €140 per person.

More infoLike the rest of southern mainland Spain, Andalusia falls outside the path of totality of the 2026 solar eclipse, and the phenomenon will be seen as partial across the whole region. In Córdoba, one of the Andalusian provinces with the highest percentage of obscuration, the eclipse will begin at 7:41 pm, reach its maximum around 8:37 pm -with the Moon covering close to 96% of the solar disk- and end at 9:28 pm, almost at sunset. Against this backdrop, Bodegas Robles, in Montilla, has prepared an eclipse plan among its vines, with an organic wine tasting, tapas and live poetry during the moment of maximum obscuration.
