One of the things we like most when we go on a trip is to take something from that place home with us. It’s a perfect way to share a little piece of the land we’ve visited with our loved ones. That’s why we want to help you a little when it comes to what to choose and where to choose it so that your shopping experience is perfect.

Within the Ribera del Duero Wine Route we have a multitude of products that will allow you to enjoy our gastronomy wherever you go.

Would you like to discover them?

Wines of Ribera del Duero

The Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin is renowned worldwide for the quality of its wines, and this is no coincidence. This wine region covers four provinces of Castilla y León: Burgos, Segovia, Soria and Valladolid and currently has almost 300 wineries and around 26,000 hectares.

Its star variety is the tempranillo grape, although you can also find other types such as the albillo mayor. With the grapes grown in the area, the wineries make red, red and white wines, and even cava.

What should I take with me?

As we have already mentioned, the wines of Ribera del Duero are world-renowned for their quality. You can’t leave without one of the bottles you discover on your trip along the Ribera del Duero Wine Route.

Where can I get it?

This part is very simple, much more than you can imagine. Many of the wineries offer direct sales if you visit them or if you make a visit. However, we know that you won’t be able to visit all the wineries you would like to during your trip, so one of the best ideas we can give you is to visit some of the wine cellars we have on the Route:

• Enoteca Quesos, jamos y vinos: This establishment is located in Peñafiel, has a large car park and a great selection of wines. It also delivers to your home if you need it.

Cheese and dairy products

Another of the perfect products to take home as a souvenir of the Ribera del Duero Wine Route is cheese. There is nothing better than a good cured Churra sheep’s cheese.

• If you want to innovate, the best thing to try is the cream cheese with truffle from RF Trufas, in Canalejas de Peñafiel.

Cured meats and sausages

In this land we also have an incredible meat that provides us with good sausages and other meat products that you should try.

What should I take?

Honey, traditional pastries, sweets and incredible cakes, if you come to the Route you’ll be able to take home a good dessert.

• Monastic sweets: In towns such as Caleruega or La Aguilera, there are monasteries that sell delicious sweets that you will love.

Local handicrafts

It’s not all about eating, you also have the option of taking some handicrafts home with you and enjoying them for longer.

Practical advice for your purchases

• Transport: The wine shops and wineries will provide you with a way to transport your bottles when you buy them, but remember that, when transporting them, you should take into account issues such as temperature, time of exposure to the sun or any agent that may spoil them.
• Shipping costs: Don’t forget that some wineries and shops offer national and international shipping services, check this option if you are buying in large quantities.
