ARCHIVED ARTICLE -Friday art and wine tasting workshops at some of the top wineries of Jumilla
Enjoy an evening of wine and artwork at the Casa del Artesano in Jumilla
Five of the leading wineries affiliated to the Jumilla Wine Route are holding Friday evening art and tasting workshops during July and early August, with absolute beginners in both disciplines welcome as the hosts provide one-on-one tuition and help through session leader Paqui Mateo García.
Enjoy some of the most widely appreciated wines bearing the DOP Jumilla label while creating your very own work of art – no matter how little experience you have!
The wineries taking part are as follows:
Friday July 5: Bodegas Juan Gil
Friday July 12: Bodega Silvano García
Friday July 19: Bodega Viña Elena
Friday July 26: Bodegas Pío del Ramo
Friday August 2: Bodegas Bleda
Each of these wineries is worth a visit in its own right, but on this occasion the workshops are being held in the Casa del Artesano (Calle del Rico nº 12, next to the Casa Pérez de los Cobos and the Casa de la Música y las Artes).
Participation in each session is priced at 20 euros including all materials (not only paint and brushes, but also wine and an aperitif!) and bookings should be made by telephone on 636 387569.
When visiting Jumilla don’t forget to make your first port of call the local tourist office (Plaza del Rollo, 1, telephone 968 780237 / 663 300779, email oficinaturismo@jumilla.org.

The tourist office in the centre of Jumilla is easily found by driving straight into the centre of the town along the Avenida de Murcia and following the signposts. The tourist office is alongside the Parque de Don Albano Martínez Molina, where there are a number of parking spaces.
Jumilla, in the north of the Region of Murcia, has become internationally famous over recent decades due to the quality of the wines produced in the municipality, and wine tourism has begun to attract visitors from other parts of Spain and the rest of Europe.
The tourist office is happy to provide a range of maps and leaflets showing the different bodegas which can be visited within the municipality. Some of these form part of the Rutas del Vino de Jumilla, the Jumilla wine route, and can either be visited as a guided tour or sell their produce directly to the public.(see feed below for more details)
However, the town and the surrounding countryside have plenty of other attractions for visitors, and the popularity of Jumilla wines is leading more and more people to discover other facets of the tenth largest municipality in Spain.
These include the spectacular countryside and birdlife in the Sierra del Carche, the historic remains which range from cave paintings and a Roman mausoleum to the castle, the Iglesia de Santiago, the Town Hall and the Teatro Vico, and the gastronomy: rich stews are accompanied not only by the wines of the area but also by Jumilla pears, which also enjoy Denomination of Origin status.
Tourism in Jumilla is not as seasonal as it is in the coastal areas of the Region of Murcia, but the town is at its liveliest during the fiestas in Holy Week and the August Fair, which incorporates the grape harvest celebrations and the Moors and Christians parades.
The Altiplano of the Region of Murcia, which consists of the municipalities of Jumilla and Yecla, is only just over an hour by car from the Mar Menor, Cartagena, Mazarrón, Torrevieja and Alicante, and anyone wishing to visit real inland Spain and world-class wineries is advised to include Jumilla in their schedule.
