The winery

Silvano Garcia is one of the few Bodegas (wineries) still remaining within the Jumilla city limits.

These barrel stacks below are a reminder of the kind of business most of the local Bodegas use to do: sell cheap wine in bulk (by the litter).

Nowadays the region focuses more in quality wine and modernized all the production line.

Facilities

You can find below a few samples of the equipment used in the winery:

  • Concrete vat: with the wine deposit on the wall. This is an unused one but the winery still uses similar ones located around the area.
