061223 - Bikes and Wines, Part 2

After missing the wine museum and the chocolateria on the first "bikes and wines tour" I did with the boys, this time, in company of Rosie, this was the task of the day. And we managed it easily, I have to admit. ;o)

Same procedure as before we took the bus to the bike rental station, got ourselves some nicecruisers and off we went to La Rural, one of the oldest wineries in the region which happens to have a very good wine museum. Here they tell you a bit about the history of the bodega (winery), the way the destilling process has changed over the centuries and finish you of with a wine tasting.

During the tour we met a bunch of nice Israeli girls (Yael, Inbal and Adi) who we would hook up later with and celebrate Christmas with. [But that is another story.]

After La Rural we tried to make it to a different bodega, but sadly it was closed. And as we started out late it was already time to head back to the rental station, return the bikes and go back to the hostel. But not before not having been to the Chocolateria.

An amazing place where an industrial engineer turned his hobby into his profession and produces all kinds of jams and licors. Superb! I think a left his place with a bit of a buzz as we tried sooo many different licors. Great place.
