The 7 Best Hotels with Vineyards in Spain

Spain is a country synonymous with excellent wine. And given its semi-arid climate in the south of the country, to the wilder, more temperate north, at the foothills of the Pyrenees, it’s no surprise at all that the wine is so good. For your next holiday, if you’re a true wine-lover, you don’t need to travel to Australia or South Africa for some real top-quality grapes – you can experience that right from a vineyard hotel in Spain.

So, to save spending thousands on travelling to the other side of the world, here are the 7 best hotels with vineyards in Spain.

Spain’s most beautiful vineyard hotels for wine lovers

1. Torre del Marqués Spa and Winery – Matarraña, Aragon

Hidden deep in the Matarraña wilderness, sitting on the fringes of the Puertos de Beceite Natural Park – one of the best preserved areas on the entire Iberian Peninsula – this five-star vineyard hotel is truly one of the best wineries in Spain.

Vast vineyards stretch across the landscape, intermixed with olive groves, and they have been left largely unchanged for centuries. If it ain’t broke, why fix it?

Moreover, the forest that surround the vineyards and the hotel are home to a diverse range of wildlife, ranging from wild boar to roe deer, foxes and more, which shows that the hotel sits on sustainable and nourishing land, helping to create some of the finest grapes and olives in the country, which in turn make some of the finest wines and olive oils.

The spa at the hotel is the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring the vineyards, with a glass of wine produced from grapes mere metres from where you’re enjoying a massage, a Turkish bath, or simply basking in the sunshine and topping up your tan.

2. Hacienda Zorita – Valverdón, Salamanca

Founded in 1366, Hacienda Zorita was almost two hundred years old when Henry VIII sat on the English throne, and was already over four hundred years old before the USA existed. This is a real historical gem, and given its almost 700-year-old history, it must be doing something right when it comes to wine.

The hotel also offers wine-themed experiences, from sommelier training to gastronomic experiences where you can learn how to pair their incredible wines with even tastier food.

They also have a dedicated ‘Cheese Room’ – and is there anything that goes better together than a wine and cheese night? We certainly don’t think so!

In addition to the vineyards, the hotel’s gardens also include chestnut trees which have stood almost as long as the hotel’s walls, as well as two swimming pools and even a stretch of the Tormes River for those who want to do some wild swimming in the shade of the vineyards. What a way to earn a glass (or bottle) of wine in the Cheese Room later in the evening.

3. Hotel Mastinell – Vilafranca del Penedès, Barcelona

Found on the outskirts of Barcelona, Hotel Mastinell is one of the most unique hotels in the country. Designed to look like wine bottles stacked on top of each other, and inspired by the world-famous architect Antoni Gaudí, the hotel is as much of a work of art as it is a winery hotel.

Inspired by the beauty and elegance of wine, each room is uniquely designed, making it not just one of the best five-star hotels in Barcelona, but one of the best five-star hotels in Spain.

The rooms offer unparalleled views of the vineyards, where juicy grapes are grown to huge sizes under the glorious Spanish sun, producing a wide range of sweet to dry reds and whites.

The hotel also prides itself on its ecotourism aspect, as well as its sustainability, and for guests who are into both wine and environmentally-friendly stays, you can’t go wrong with a stay at Hotel Mastinell.

4. Hotél Marqués de Riscal – Elciego, Álava

If you want the wow factor before you’ve even stepped through the doors of a hotel, you’ve simply got to visit Hotél Marqués de Riscal in Álava.

While the hotel was only opened in 2006, the winery dates back to 1858 and has been producing some of the tastiest Spanish wines for nearly two centuries.

Guests are encouraged to dine in the hotel’s very own fine dining restaurant, where the meal is more of an experience than simply something to eat, with each course being paired with one of the wines produced at the hotel, while experts provide a history of the wine and why it goes so well with each course.

The hotel also prides itself on a new type of relaxation experience: vinotherapy. A whole range of spa-like treatments related to the wines they produce. For a totally unique stay, and as good for wine-lovers as it is for foodies, this hotel is one of the best hotels with a vineyard in Spain.

5. Hotel San Prudentzio – Getaria, Gipuzkoa

Tranquillity and serenity are adjectives often thrown around too often when discussing spa hotels or wineries, but they really live up to their value when describing the Hotel San Prudentzio.

Set atop the vineyard, which is a unique position to occupy as far as vineyard hotels in Spain go, the hotel offers commanding views across the lush green vineyards that stretch endlessly beneath the windows.

It also means that the hotel is nicely isolated, and you’ve got no noisy neighbours, given that it’s practically in the middle of nowhere. If you’re searching for a quiet escape, this is where you want to go.

Hotel San Prudentzio is set inside a traditional Spanish medieval village, and it really does feel like you’re taking a step back in time when you visit here. Expect beautiful coastal views, and the cool waters off the breezy sea help their grapes have a unique taste, which in turn contributes to their uniquely charming wine. A real wine-lover’s paradise.

6. Hotel Castillo El Collado – Laguardia, Araba

While the main foundations of the castle which Hotel Castillo El Collado is built, were built in the 19th century, some of the original foundations date as far back as the 12th century, making this a genuine historic gem to stay in when you want a winery hotel holiday in Spain.

The hotel has just ten rooms, making it perfect for a quiet escape, and adding that extra personal touch to all of the levels of service, from checking in to dining in the restaurant, to vineyard tours.

The Rioja Alavesa vineyards produce a range of excellent red and white wines, which are served in the hotel by the glass or bottle, and being able to watch the process of fermentation is another advantage of staying here.

Dine underground in the very foundations of the centuries-old castle, which is not only a completely unique dining experience, but also provides a naturally cooled space to escape the scorching heat of the Spanish sunshine after a day in the vineyards.

7. Terra Dominicata Hotel & Winery – Escaladei, Tarragona

Advertised as “Catalonia’s Best-Kept Secret”, it’s hard to argue with this notion when you visit Terra Dominicata Hotel & Winery in the stunning Tarragona region of Spain.

This hotel dates back to the 12th century, and was founded by Carthusian monks who founded their monastery at the foot of the Montsant mountain range, where they also cultivated olives and grapes. The sun-baked hills are the perfect setting for growing both grapes and olives, so it’s no wonder that this has been the site of vineyards for over 800 years. 

The Terra Dominicata Hotel & Winery has just 26 rooms, meaning that you will receive a top level of personal attention and care from the hotel’s dedicated staff. There is also an outdoor swimming pool which offers beautiful views from the mountainous backdrop to the green swathes of vineyards and olive groves below.

Enjoy a sunset meal on the outdoor terrace overlooking the very vineyards where the glass of wine in your hand was once a few grapes – sheer quiet bliss in one of the best vineyard hotels in Spain.
