Since its inception in 1366, the hacienda has been a haven for farmers. This legacy continues today, with African water buffalo and woolly Mangalica pigs roaming the grounds. Expect a culinary celebration featuring sumptuous mozzarella cheese, the famed Ibérico ham, and the freshest ingredients - olive oil, balsamic vinegar, just-baked breads, and vibrant fruits and vegetables. Sourced directly from the Hacienda Zorita Organic Farm, these treasures find their way to the hotel's farm-to-table restaurant, where hearty soups, crisp salads, and open-faced "tostas" (toasted sandwiches) reign supreme.
When it comes to the rooms, ancient stone walls meet antique Provençal armoires - the largest collection in Europe. Some even boast private gardens, personal wine cellars, and cozy window nooks overlooking the majestic Duero River. Each space reflects a delightfully traditional charm, its individual style echoing the 300 hectares of farmlands and oak forests that sprawl across the estate.
Hacienda Zorita's heart and soul is dedicated to viticulture. Embark on tasting tours, where you'll sample your way through the cellar's impressive collection of 1,450 barrels, expertly guided by resident sommeliers who can also recommend perfect dinner pairings. Soak up the glorious Spanish sunshine by the intimate outdoor swimming pool, complete with plush sun loungers. When seeking deeper relaxation, book a session at the on-site spa, where you can even indulge in a unique vinotherapy treatment - a perfect indulgence for any wine enthusiast.
