The Campo de Cariñena Wine Route was created with the aim of making known and supporting the tourist, cultural and gastronomic resources of the thirteen localities that are part of it: Aguarón, Aladrén, Alfamén, Almonacid de la Sierra, Cariñena, Cosuenda, Encinacorba, Longares, Mezalocha, Muel, Paniza, Tosos and Villanueva de Huerva.
The Municipality of Cariñena, the Region of Campo de Cariñena and the Regulatory Council of the Protected Designation of Origin of Cariñena are the three promoting partners of the Association for the Promotion of Tourism of the Campo de Cariñena Wine Route, Route of the Wine of Stones.
Campo de Cariñena is one of the most traditional wine areas in Spain, being one of the oldest Designations of Origin in the country. The Las Piedras Wine Route winds through an area rich in ancient vineyards that characterize a landscape with a great variety of smells and colors where stones are present in the land where the grapes are grown.
The secret of this area are its stones and the particularity of a unique grape variety in the world: Cariñena. A native variety like Garnacha.
Let’s find out more from the words of Carmen Gracia, President of the Campo de Cariñena wine Route.

Since the Association was born, what goals has it achieved and what remains to be achieved?
The Campo de Cariñena Wine Route, also known as the Ruta del Vino de las Piedras (Wine Route of the Stones), obtained its official certification in 2014. Since then, the Route has created an important network of synergies to offer to tourists activities and services to visitors to the area. Our main goal is to continue working to create an attractive destination by improving and innovating the tourist offer.

What are the peculiarities of the territory and its wines?
Campo de Cariñena is one of the most traditional wine areas in Spain, being one of the oldest Designations of Origin in the country.
The Campo Cariñena Wine Route winds through an area plagued since ancient times by vineyards that form a landscape with a great variety of smells and colors where stones are present in the land where grapes are grown. The result is more concentrated and intense grapes, and more aromatic than those grown in other lands. Here is the best kept secret of the Cariñena Protected Designation of Origin: its stones, its fields, its surroundings and the dedication of a territory that lives on and for the land. With unique features in the world, such as the denomination of a grape variety: Cariñena. A native variety as well as garnacha, which currently dazzles half the world.
