Where to buy wine in Murcia?

[Oscar]

We're just entering Murcia & would like to buy wine direct from a vineyard (as you do in France) but not sure where there are any in the region - any suggestions? cheers (hopefully)

Do you want to buy bottles, boxes or direct (decanted into milk bottles or whatever you can find, etc. )

We like Jumilla wines very much, and there are a number of places you can buy it direct from the producer - https://murciatoday.com/how-to-book...ine-route-ruta-del-vino_33511-a.html?a=Gjk6b4

happy to empty into empty water bottles! - got to think about the weight of bottles, used to buying in boxes

Most towns have a "bodega" (or more than one). As already said, Jumilla. But there is also a small wine producing area in Bullas.

Since we left Totana, we've found a bodega in Puerto de Mazarron where we're buying 5 litre boxes (they last longer) of young Jumilla wine (very nice) for under €8.

Ooh we like the sound of that @jumartoo ! Were heading in that direction theres a restaurant there that you recommended that we'd like to have a look at (if they do gluten free alternatives for Mr O)

(if they do gluten free alternatives for Mr O)

If they don't do gluten free he can always have a salad and you can try the menu .

What does "gluten free" entail?

Like your style it needs to be without flour (unless its cornflour/gram flour or the like) he's ok with plain dishes, tortilla is usually ok, he loves seafood, cant have bread but ok with olives, chorizo etc x

You can buy a 3 litre plastic bottle of gin . Not tried it myself ... yet!

I cropped the screenshot to show a possible parking area on the left above the bodega.

When we were there on a Friday (fish n chips) the guy who looked like he'd eaten a lemon on my photo had fish without batter. (Other meals are available). So I think they can accommodate diets to a certain extent

Thanks for that @jumartoo - thats interesting, could be useful when making rhubarb gin! I love gin
