Visiting vineyards from Moraira means, above all, heading inland. In the Marina Alta, and particularly in the valley of Jal\u00f3n (Xal\u00f3) and around D\u00e9nia, muscat has been grown for centuries \u2014 the Moscatel de Alejandr\u00eda. It goes into dry and sweet white wines and mistela, alongside red wines from local grapes such as Gir\u00f3. A number of bodegas receive visitors for a tour with a tasting, usually by appointment only.<\/p>\n

Wine with a long history<\/h2>\n

Winegrowing is nothing recent here. On the hill of Alt de Benimaquia near D\u00e9nia, the remains of one of the oldest wineries in Europe have been found, from the sixth century BC. Later the Marina Alta became known for its raisins from muscat grapes. While they dried, the grapes were sheltered in bad weather in a riurau, a rural building with wide open arches along one side; you can still see them in many places inland.<\/p>\n

What to expect<\/h2>\n

A visit usually takes an hour and a half to two hours: a walk along the vines or through the cellar, an explanation of how the wine is made and a tasting of a few wines with local snacks such as cheese and sausage. Booking is necessary at all the bodegas named below. The harvest falls at the end of August and in September; those are the busiest weeks, but also the liveliest.<\/p>\n
