Bodegas El Lagar de Isilla

The story of the El Lagar de Isilla Winery started in 1995 in Ribera del Duero, but dates back to the 15th century historic underground cavern below the restaurant Lagar de Isilla in Aranda de Duero. There, at a depth of 12 meters, the Zapatero Pinto family elaborated the first wine for commercialization, which has now expanded into a successful annual production of 250,000 bottles of highly recognized white and red wines. The Enological Complex in La Vid in a colonial building dating from 1890 is now house of their new winery, a gourmet shop and a very successful enotourism hotel that has granted the family the Enotourism Merit Award by the organization Rutas de Vino de España, and most recently, the Cellar Door of the Year, a recognition by Tim Atkins for the labor by El Lagar to disseminate the culture of wine.
