Bodega Finca Manzanos - 120 years of history in Navarra


Bodega Finca Manzanos
, a family business devoted to the production of Rioja wine, has occupied an exceptional viewpoint over the cradle of Rioja Qualified Denomination of Origin wine, right where the waters of the Rivers Ebro and Ega meet, since 2002. This natural balcony in the Navarrese village of Azagra is a unique, outstandingly fertile location, well worth a visit.

Heir of the Rioja Qualified Denomination of Origin winemaking tradition, the winery is the fruit of the work, effort and experience of five generations of winemakers from the Fernández de Manzanos family. Like a golden treasure, Finca Manzanos has taken up the family tradition and transformed it to create the 'Winery of the XXI century'.

Making full use of the opportunities that new technologies have to offer, Finca Manzanos is a modern, different kind of winery. The goal was to take the leap from winemaking to wine tourism and open the winery to the general public. Certified by Equalitas Vitae, it is the first winery approved for visits by people with disabilities.

The family business is now headed by Guillermina Roldán and her sons Víctor and David Fernández de Manzanos, who keep the memory, enthusiasm and expertise of their husband and father Víctor Fernández de Manzanos Pastor truly alive. This Website is a tribute to him and his work.
