Routes to savour the best vineyard landscapes in Central Navarre

Viticulture has had a major influence on the typical landscapes of the area, resulting in the well-known natural images of vineyards in the region. These spaces provide visitors with breathtaking views and landscapes where they can enjoy nature.

We will show you the best places and times to enjoy these spectacular spots on your next short break.

What makes the vineyard landscapes of Central Navarre so special?

The Central Navarre region is an area that combines flat and mountainous terrain: a transition zone between landscapes. Let yourself be blown away by the geographical diversity of the area: the captivating vineyards that cover the slopes and terraces of the mountains offer breathtaking views of the landscape. Compare these majestic views to the magic of the valleys, where vineyards create bright, open natural landscapes, growing lushly on reddish-brown soil.

When is the best time of year to visit vineyards?

From spring to autumn are the best times to visit the natural landscapes that make up the vineyards:

In summer, you can enjoy stunning panoramas of the vineyards covered in lush green leaves and bunches of grapes ripening in the sun.
In autumn, after the grape harvest, the leaves on the plants burst into colour, turning copper, yellow and red.
If you want to admire the vineyards in bloom, the best time to visit is spring, when the vines are flowering and being pollinated.

Anyway, stop and admire the vines whenever you visit our Central Navarre. In winter, they are a picture of resistance and promise; in summer, before being harvested, they are beautiful laden with bunches of grapes of different hues.
