Vaulted ceilings and ancient stonework are gloriously juxtaposed with striking decor and state‑of‑the‑art technology at this 12th-century monastery. Take a tour of the barrel rooms to learn about the ageing process and sample two single-vineyard wines directly from the barrel – or opt for the Onenological Immersion experience, which includes a tour of the estate, a guided tasting of seven wines and, in summer, a visit to the monks' organic garden. At Refectorio, tasting menus explore Castilian cooking in a stone-clad former monastic dining hall, with dishes such as suckling lamb with aubergine purée and pistachio. Meanwhile, the spa lies beneath the former stables and draws water from a well, with indoor and outdoor pools, relaxation rooms overlooking the courtyard and personalised treatments using essential oils made from plants grown on the estate.
