Wine Courses

For you who are especially interested or if you just want to learn more: let us show you the ropes!

We start in the vineyard and we will explain the different grapevines, how we work with them and all the challenges we face as farmers. We then go on with a tour of the winery where you will see the production line, hear the history of the beginning, and of our plans for the future. We will show a short film of our first harvest and you will see the machinery first hand. Being a small winery it is easier to see the whole picture.

Then we will proceed to the cellar where we will taste our wines, together with a meat and cheese platter.. We will talk about the different styles and aromas and maybe you will be able to taste the difference between the types of grapes.

Feel free to ask any questions along the way!

Fortuna Hot Springs and Spa

Baños de Fortuna is about 40 minutes drive from Casa Boquera and is considered one of the main tourist resorts in Spain when it comes to health and wellness.

The Leana resort is known for its hot springs, and has been used as a health bath dating back to Roman times. The natural hot springs rises from the earth in several places and has a temperature of 52-53 degrees Celsius. The water should be very rich when it comes to healthful content, and has always been popular for people with chronic diseases and rheumatism. In addition, it is also popular as a bathing resort for another and very logical reason: The water is warm all year round! The resort offers other activities like spa or arabic baths.

There is also another, although a bit more unknown, bathing and health location: La Fuente.

La Fuente is below Leana, and at first glance it looks just like a campsite. This is wrong. La Fuente also has its own hot springs, and boasts a 15 meter pool consisting of a variety of jacuzzis, bubble beds, jacuzzy, jets and massage facilities for back and neck. The water has a temperature of around 36 degrees, and portions of the pool is covered for a glass roof, while the rest is under the open sky.

We can upon request arrange trips to both of these attractions.

Mountain Walks and Climbing

Mountain walks

Casa Boquera borders to a National Park where the mountain El Carche is located with its 1372meters over the sea. Here there are many opportunities for hiking in the mountains, from smaller walks straight out from the accommodation, to whole day trips. Tell us what you would like and we will help you find a tour adjusted to your personal wishes and abilities. The national park is covered in rosemary and is known for its rich birdlife and beautiful views. We offer picnic baskets to make the day complete.

Climbing.

We also have contact with the local climbing group which may on request take guests on an exciting climbing experience.

Olive Oil Production

Casa Boquera has a round 100 olive trees. Some over 150 years old. We deliver our olives to an olive press nearby and then use our own olive oil at our restaurant or offer it for sale at our shop in the Bodega. We would like to take you to the press and let you see the process in which after you can taste the different types.

Did you know that green and black olives come from the same tree? Its the time of harvest that determines the final colour…
