Navarra. The Santiago's Path, the wine fountain and Irache winery

Since the 10th century the Benedictine monks of the Irache Monastery produced their wines in the same place where our winery exists today, producing wines to supply themselves, for the pilgrims of the Camino de Santiago and sometimes to serve the banquets of the royal family of Navarre. In 1891 the small winery of the Monks passed into private hands, initially called Vinícola de Montejurra, and later the name Bodegas Irache was registered.

The wine fountain
Today, as ten centuries ago, pilgrims from all over the world keep alive the beautiful religious manifestation of the Camino de Santiago.
Our Fountain of Irache is a tribute to the memory of the hospitality received in the first hospital of the Camino, of that wine offered by the monks and a recognition to all the pilgrims who every day remember this tradition and continue their passage through our house on their way to Santiago.

The Wine Museum
The wine museum corresponds to the foundational building of the winery. It gathers more than 400 pieces related to viticulture and the history of our winery.
An old cellar excavated in stone preserves the wines of old vintages. In the Cava Centenaria we preserve a collection of the best vintages from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Jealously kept at a naturally constant temperature of 14ºC.

The cellar
Under the architectural influence of the Irache Monastery, the Aging Warehouse was built in the 90's in an area of 6,720 m2. The spectacular space formed by imposing columns topped by arches has made this barrel room commonly known as "The Cathedral of Wine". It has a capacity to hold 10,000 barrels, with ample space between aisles and double-height ceilings that allow us to guarantee the correct care of the barrels during the aging period of the wines.

The vineyards
Tempranillo, Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Viura and Chardonnay.
Our wines have a unique quality and personality thanks to the grapes we obtain from more than 101 hectares of vineyards distributed in different plots in the area. Tierra Estella has a particular and interesting climate, with limestone and mineral soils that provide a marked personality. Thanks to the climate of the area, cold, humid and with great thermal contrast between day and night, we obtain high quality grapes, ideal for aging.

The visit
The 1.30-hour visit includes "The Fountain of Wine", the winery, tasting of 3 wines and appetizers, and free time to visit the museum and shop in the store.
