Montilla Wineries
Montilla
The heart of the Montilla-Moriles wine region, where visitors can tour old cellars and taste fino and Pedro Ximénez sweet wines.
Montilla lies about 45 km south of Córdoba and is the centre of the Montilla-Moriles denomination of origin. It is famous for dry fino wines made from Pedro Ximénez grapes and for the rich PX sweet wine. The wines are made in a way similar to sherry, but are usually not fortified. Several old bodegas in town, such as Alvear, offer cellar tours and tastings, usually by reservation. A grape harvest festival takes place in September. You can reach Montilla by coach or car, but never drive after tasting.
