New Temples of Wine

New Temples of Wine
Marqués de Riscal Winery and Hotel
There are few more enjoyable experiences for the lover of contemporary architecture than a visit to a signature winery. These are spaces that pay homage to Man, who has provided excellent work, and Nature, who has yielded her greatest fruits. So not surprisingly, the best wine producers, accustomed to valuing talent, dedication and effort, look toward the best architects of their time in order to turn their new projects into reality.

In the two Spanish wine regions par excellence, Ribera del Duero and La Rioja, separated by barely a half-day’s journey by car, we find many of the best examples that pair wine culture with contemporary architecture.
