When people think about the Costa Blanca, they often picture beaches, marinas and seaside promenades.
Yet some of the region’s most rewarding experiences lie a little further inland.
The Alicante wine region has been producing wines for centuries, and today visitors can explore vineyards, family-run bodegas and beautiful rural landscapes that remain largely untouched by mass tourism.
One of the joys of the Costa Blanca wine route is its accessibility. Many vineyards are within easy reach of popular coastal towns, making them ideal for a day trip.
Visitors can enjoy guided tastings, learn about local grape varieties and discover how the Mediterranean climate shapes the wines produced here.
The region is particularly well known for its Moscatel wines and the historic traditions surrounding Alicante’s wine-making heritage.
Beyond the wine itself, these journeys often reveal another side of Spain. Quiet villages, almond groves, mountain views and local gastronomy combine to create experiences that many visitors remember long after their holiday ends.
Whether you are a serious wine enthusiast or simply looking for something different to explore, the inland Costa Blanca offers plenty of surprises.
