Hacienda Zorita ~ built in 1392. Originally (and still is) a monastery, it now houses the winery, restaurant and 5 star hotel. They produce, from their own organic farms, goat cheese & olive oil that you will fall in love with and want to bring some home.
The winery’s roof and ceiling shape appears to be a large boat that is upside down and is in fact, modeled after Christopher Columbus’s boat, The Santa Maria. He stayed here, at the monastery to ponder his upcoming voyage.
There are 1392 barrels in the cellar to honor the date the monastery was built.
