Javea

Situated in the Jalon Valley Vall de Pop, approximately 30 minutes inland from Javea/Denia. Although grapes have been grown in this region since Roman times, La Bodega del Garroferal was only set up in 2002. Run by German-born Peter Arnold who had already made a name in the international wine scene and his English wife Helen, this is a tiny, relatively new winery in the Jalon Valley. The pair relocated to Spain from South Africa in 2002. They offer a small range of delicious wines - three reds, three whites and one rosé. For a small charge, Helen offers a sumptuous range of tapas to complement an arranged wine tasting. You can visit the vineyards, taste and see how the wines are made and then you can play with the family cats! We recommend you phone for an appointment. Prices per bottle range from 4.75 Euros to 7 Euros. edit
