Senses is a 2.5 hour experience that combines history, blind tasting, aromas and terroir at Bodegas Balbas.
Senses is a unique two and a half hour experience that immerses visitors in the world of Bodegas Balbás.
The tour begins at the winery with an introduction by Sara Hernando, head of wine tourism, and a video by María Balbás, the seventh generation of the family. Afterwards, you will visit the current winery, recently renovated, to learn about every detail of the winemaking process.
The experience continues in our barrel room, where our smaller production wines age. There, visitors take part in an olfactory activity with the smell kit used by our oenologist during the ageing process. They will also explore the different types of terroir of our plots through touch.
Finally, we will hold a blind tasting in the Noble Room, designed to sharpen the sense of smell, sight and taste. In it, participants will have to differentiate between wines of different ageing periods, accompanied by cheeses of different cured meats and cured meats.
Those who manage to correctly identify the wines will receive a bottle of Balbás Crianza, personalised by a member of the family.
A tour that awakens the senses and reveals the essence of our winery.

Pittacum is located in Arganza, a town with a great winemaking tradition, immersed in an extraordinary and picturesque natural setting of the "Bierzo Region."
At our winery, we offer, among other experiences, this Pittacum Único visit, characterized by its personality, quality, and consistency.
This winery offers visitors a unique historical account of the peak period in grape cultivation, the era of the renowned white and golden wines from La Seca. Located beneath the dance floor 'Buenos Aires,' it represents the model of an 18th-century underground historical factory known as Bodega Vivienda or Domestic Winery. In 2022, the City Council, along with the heritage community and academic research, restored the winery as a visitable space.
