Pedrosa de Duero combines wine tours, a route through varied landscapes and church architecture shaped by the Baroque style. This offers different ways to spend your stay: learning about the work of the wineries, enjoying time outdoors or exploring local history. If you are planning your visit around a particular interest, you can give these themes different emphasis; the patron saint festivities also add fixed dates in August to the town’s annual calendar.
Wine tours with different focuses
At Bodegas Hnos. Pérez Pascuas, the guided tour covers the vineyards and winery. It takes visitors through various areas, including the historic bottle cellar. A visit to Pago de los Capellanes offers insights into the winery’s wine production. At Bodegas Carmelo Rodero, a wine tour focuses on the terroir of Pedrosa de Duero. The tours therefore offer distinct approaches: vineyards and winery, the production process or terroir. Check the details of each visit directly with the winery beforehand.
A historical connection adds another dimension to these visits: in 1982, two wineries in Pedrosa de Duero were among the pioneers of the Ribera del Duero designation of origin. A look at the wineries can thus lead from a specific visit to the history of this designation of origin.
Sendero entre el Aire y el Remanso
The Sendero entre el Aire y el Remanso starts in Pedrosa de Duero and runs south to the road to Valcavado de Roa. It passes through vineyards, small pine groves, almond orchards, cereal fields and Portuguese oak woods. The transition from vineyards and fields to groves and woods gives the route a varied landscape. The area around the trail in the Ribera del Duero is home to little bustards and great bustards; calandra larks, short-toed larks and crested larks can also be spotted there. These landscape features give the route its character, while bird sightings in the area may vary by season.
Church art and local history
The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción has an interior that is predominantly Baroque in style. Its single-nave layout is divided into four sections; geometrically decorated vaults and central keystones define the architecture. A single-nave layout consists of one main space, which is further divided into four sections. A small side chapel houses the Santo Cristo altarpiece. The church’s overall Baroque character and the specific layout of its interior, with its architectural details, can thus be appreciated side by side.
Patron saint festivities in August
The patron saint festivities in honour of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción and San Roque take place on 15 and 16 August; the traditional Danza de la Culebra is part of the celebrations. Semana Cultural takes place in the week before the festivities. Wine tastings and confectionery competitions are among its highlights, although the specific programme may vary. If you are planning your trip around the festivities, check the programme dates for your travel dates in advance.
