You arrive on a country lane where rows of low-trained vines lean toward the sun and a family-run bodega sits behind a shaded garden. The guide greets the group, the minibus engine quieting as olive trees and distant scrubland form the horizon; a glass of welcome wine is set into your hand and the day begins with easy conversation and the scent of fermenting grapes.

You arrive on a country lane where rows of low-trained vines lean toward the sun and a family-run bodega sits behind a shaded garden.

This pocket of Murcia carries layers of history—Roman and later Iberian influences shaped the region’s vineyards, while the limestone soils and Mediterranean microclimate favor bold, sun-ripened varieties. The bodega’s stone tanks and modern presses reveal that tradition and contemporary technique coexist here. Local culture centers on small-scale producers: expect stories about family harvests, aroma-led tasting techniques, and recipes for pairing simple tapas with young and aged wines.
Practically, the experience is compact and accessible: a 90-minute winery visit inside a roughly three-hour outing that includes transport from Cartagena or the port. You’ll take part in an Aroma Workshop designed to sharpen your nose, sample several wines from the Calas Madrid Romero collection paired with gourmet appetizers, and have the option to purchase bottles to take home.
Bring photo-ready shoes for gravel paths, sun protection, and a reusable water bottle for the drive. If traveling in a group of four to six, you may get a private vehicle. The tour is suitable for most travelers, but participants must carry their own briefcase or wheelchair into the vehicle if needed. Expect warm hospitality, focused tasting instruction, and a taste of Murcian viticulture without strenuous walking.

Murcia faces water scarcity, so many small bodegas practice conservative irrigation and encourage buying local to support sustainable regional production.
