Also, winery hotels don't necessarily produce great wines. When you stay at a wine hotel, always politely purchase a bottle. Feel free not to tour the winery: barrels and bottling lines can get tiresome. The best advice is to start by tasting the wines. If you like the taste of them, definitely book a visit. Please note that some hotel restaurants, and restaurants in general, may be closed on Sunday evenings in Spain, and sometimes on Monday evenings. It is always advisable to book in advance.
