What are the wines like?

In general, wines from Navarre are aromatic, with fruity flavours and a good balance between the alcohol content and acidity and smoothness on the palate. The white wines have yellow tones, fine bouquets and fresh flavours. For their part, the rosé wines have a well-deserved fame thanks to their distinctive personality: they are dry, fresh and delicate. The red wines produced in this Designation of Origin are equally exquisite. The region’s most prevalent grape is the Garnacha variety.

What I can find

The cuisine is delicious, as you will be able to experience in any of its restaurants. UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the historic quarters of Olite and Tafalla remind you of the importance of this area over the history of St James' Way.There are excursions on paths that pass between the vines, either on foot, horseback or bicycle.For more information enquire at any of the tourist offices.
