Christmas flavours in Cariñena: wine, nougat and the perfect plan to enjoy with the family.
On 20 December, the Cariñena Wine Museum is offering the Flavours of Christmas in Cariñena activity for those looking for something different, tasty and cultural to do during this special time of year. An experience designed for families, wine lovers and curious visitors who want to experience Christmas in an authentic way: D.O. Cariñena wines, artisan nougat and children’s creativity, all in a single morning, in the heart of the region.
The proposal combines a cultural visit, food and wine tasting, a children’s workshop and traditional flavours of Aragon, creating a balanced plan in which adults and children can simultaneously enjoy activities adapted to their pace.
A morning steeped in history, tradition and the flavours of the Cariñena PDO.
The activity begins with a visit to the Cariñena Wine Museum, a space that celebrates the wine culture of one of Spain’s oldest designations of origin. During the tour, visitors discover how the territory, the stony soils, the climate and the wisdom of its winegrowers have shaped the wines that consumers around the world enjoy today.
For many families, this is the ideal gateway to the world of wine: an accessible and informative setting that allows visitors to understand why Cariñena has historically been a land of vineyards, travellers, markets and wine-making tradition.
In addition, the museum offers a contemporary interpretation of wine: historical tools, unique pieces, old photographs and interactive resources that allow visitors to explore centuries of wine culture in just a few minutes. It’s the perfect way to whet your appetite before the tasting… or, in the case of children, before the fun creative workshop.
For adults: a tasting of three great D.O.P. Cariñena wines paired with artisan nougat.
The experience continues with a guided tasting of three exceptional wines from the Cariñena PDO, paired with artisan nougat from Manuel Segura (1874), a historic name in traditional Aragonese confectionery. A unique sensory journey that brings together two iconic Christmas products.
- 12 months (Esteban Martín) + toasted egg yolk nougat
A well-aged, rounded and balanced wine that combines notes of ripe fruit and soft wood. Its perfect pairing: a toasted egg yolk nougat that enhances its warmth and structure.
The result is a classic and elegant harmony, ideal for those seeking traditional flavours of this time of year.
- Anayón Rosé + nougat with cava praline and strawberries
Una propuesta sorprendente que conquista por su frescura y expresión aromática.
El turrón con praliné de cava y fresas potencia las notas frutales del vino, creando un maridaje festivo y muy navideño, perfecto para quienes disfrutan de sabores modernos y creativos.
- Tempranillo OVT (Covinca) + nougat with orange praline
The red fruit of Tempranillo finds a vibrant counterpoint in orange praline, bringing light and balance to the pairing.
An aromatic, sweet finish, particularly suited to ending the tasting with a citrus touch.
Además del disfrute sensorial, durante la cata se profundiza en las características de la D.O. Cariñena, sus variedades estrella (como Garnacha, Cariñena o Tempranillo), sus métodos de elaboración y el fuerte vínculo histórico entre la localidad y la tradición vinícola.
For the little ones: creativity, wine... without wine.
While the adults enjoy the tasting, the children take part in a creative Christmas workshop where they make their own decorations out of wine corks. An activity that combines sustainability, imagination and wine-making tradition in a fun and accessible way.
Los más pequeños descubren así el mundo del vino desde otra perspectiva: a través de las formas, los colores, la textura y el juego creativo. Una oportunidad perfecta para compartir un plan familiar sin que nadie quede fuera.
And, of course, they also enjoy a small tasting of nougat, because Christmas is celebrated in all sizes.
