Walk in the footsteps of Gen. Hannibal & Escipión 212BC exploring the Roman fortress of Saguntum, Roman Theatre & elements of Islamic-medieval Valencia. The tour combines impressive historic sites with a Romanic themed Wine tasting + Maridaje lunch option at the foot of the amphitheatre. Wines from autóctono grapes Mourvedre, Garnacha & Moscatel were historically important from Camp de Mourvedre & our glorious tasting represents these wines in various styles. Sadly the comarca fell from it´s Roman viticultural glory to just 100hct; mainly Moscatel & only 1hct Mourvedre in 1975. The 1912 invasion of filoxera killed 90% of vines & legislation favouring citrus agriculture ended the reign of vineyards in Sagunto.
We pay homage to the Romans & the wines they exported to Rome with a tasting of select dry wines + Royal historic Fondillon aged 30+yrs with an inspiring gourmet lunch. Booking on Viator we pay 27% com. You may book dIrectly with a Discount + Extras. Whatsapp,email,tel to book!
