La Ruta del Vino

The last excursion that was offered through the program was the Ruta del Vino. We spent the day visiting the bodega of Grupo YLlera just outside of Valladolid. It was amazing to see how the winery works. This particular bodega is family owned is now in it's 6th generation. The bodega is split into two different parts. The newer building houses pretty much everything that they need to make their wine. The original bodega is now a maze of bodegas that they maintain for tourism. Not only is it an incredibly impressive winery, I personally think it's probably the best place on earth for an awesome game of capture the flag. Check out the pics!

This last photo is a mural of a greek legend. The Yllera winery ties all of it's different types of wine to this greek legend. How creative!
