Cenicero is synonymous with wine. Home to emblematic wineries such as Marqués de Cáceres, Bodegas Riojanas and Tritium, the town invites you to immerse yourself in the world of wine tourism. These wineries offer guided tours that include tours of their facilities and tastings of internationally recognized wines.

Under the streets of Cenicero hides a labyrinth of more than 300 “calaos” or subway cellars, some dating back to the 15th century. These ashlar stone constructions were used for the elaboration and conservation of wine, and many of them still conserve their original structure.

Cenicero offers hiking and cycling routes through vineyards, along the banks of the Ebro River and through natural landscapes of great beauty. In addition, its proximity to the Sierra de Cantabria and the Obarenes Mountains make it an ideal starting point for exploring the Riojan countryside.

The cuisine of Cenicero is a reflection of its agricultural and winemaking environment. Dishes such as beans with lamb, trout in wine and lamb chops are accompanied by excellent wines with Designation of Origin Rioja.

Festivities of the Virgen del Valle: Celebrated in early September, they include processions, music and cultural activities. During these days, the traditional ‘charma’ is lit and the first must is offered, symbolizing the beginning of the grape harvest.

San Isidro (May 15): Festive day with songs, bonfires and distribution of buns and zurracapote. The celebration begins with the firing of the festive rocket and continues with open-air dances and popular tastings.

Semana Santa: Highlights the traditional “Burning of Judas”, where large dolls are burned in the streets. This custom symbolizes the victory of good over evil and marks the end of Holy Week in the town.
