Palacio Quemado

Top choice in Extremadura


One of the stars of Extremadura's Ribera del Guadiana wine-producing region, Palacio Quemado produces excellent reds and runs guided tours (including one by tractor), wine tasting and wine-tasting courses. It also has cellar-door sales. It's east off the A66 northeast of Zafra and you'll need to ring ahead to make an appointment and to ask for directions.
