When luxury and history mix, a combination appears that conquers the hearts of guests and wins the most prestigious awards in the world. Founded in 1894 in La Rioja Alavesa, the Casa Cosme Palacio winery has become a luxury hotel without losing its cava essence. It is the first hotel in Spain that welcomes guests by invitation, and according to its owner, Gonzalo Entrecanales, it is because it offers “a stay for each person and moment in which to discover the history, culture and rich gastronomy of Rioja.” .
This year it won the Best Of Wine Tourism International 2024, an industry benchmark in recognizing the main wineries and businesses related to wine tourism. The jury has valued “the very high level of quality, comfort and elegance” of La Casa Cosme Palacio.
At the foot of the medieval town of Laguardia, is the estate, where the winemaking center was located until 1970. The accommodation, whose maximum capacity is 26 people, has 13 rooms and is divided into three floors. The original structure of the building has been maintained, preserving inside twenty old tanks and six galleries of centuries-old ashlar stone openwork. In addition, the house has three rooms with all kinds of drinks and food. What is called an all-inclusive service, at Casa Cosme Palacio is courtesy of the house.
From the house they take care of all the details of your stay, "from the organized activities, to the gastronomic menus or the wellness services." If you want to take walks among the vineyards, there are e-bikes in the area, there is also an outdoor pool for the summer. If you are looking for quieter entertainment, there are visits and private tastings to the winery, as well as wellness treatments in the new wellness cabin, and in the multipurpose room flower workshops or any other type of activity that the guest desires are held. Gastronomy lovers enjoy pairing dinners with old vintages in the century-old cellars.
Casa Cosme Palacio belongs to the Entrecanales Domecq e Hijos group, whose wineries were pioneers in Spain in being carbon neutral and using 100% renewable energy. It is open to any person or company, but first it is necessary to make a request to the winery.
