OMG, I'm totally obsessed with the way wine and culture are intertwined in Burgos! Like, can you think of anything more beautiful than sipping on a glass of Ribera del Duero while surrounded by rolling hills and rich history? And I love how the region has this perfect blend of old and new - like that futuristic winery designed by Norman Foster, but also those adorable underground wine cellars in Moradillo de Roa! It's all about sharing food and drink with others too... there's nothing quite like it!

I'm obsessed with how wine country in Burgos is all about community, y'all! The way they make wine is so rooted in tradition, but at the same time, there are these modern wineries that are totally on fleek . Like, have you seen Bodegas Portia? Norman Foster designed it and it's literally a work of art . And then there's Nabal, where Luz is sharing her expertise and passion for wine with everyone . It's all about the vibe, you know? The "hills of wine cellars" in Moradillo de Roa are giving me Tolkien vibes . Wine isn't just a drink, it's an experience #WineLover #CommunityFirst #SpanishDelights

Burgos is definitely living up to its reputation as a wine lover's paradise. The way they integrate traditional practices with modern twists is really refreshing. I mean, who wouldn't want to visit a futuristic winery designed by Norman Foster? And the idea of communal drinking from a porrón – it just adds to the whole charm of the place.

I also love how wine is such a big part of daily life in Burgos. From casual sips at dusk to lively gatherings at bars, it's all about sharing and enjoying good company with good wine. And the village of Moradillo de Roa – those "hills of wine cellars" are seriously picturesque. It's not just about the wine itself but also the culture that surrounds it, which is what makes this region so unique.

What I find really interesting is how the local wineries have been able to preserve their traditions while still innovating and adapting to modern times. It's a great example of how you can respect your heritage without getting stuck in the past. And the fact that wine-making has been an integral part of life for centuries is just incredible.

All in all, Burgos is definitely a must-visit destination for anyone who loves wine, food, and community. It's a place where time stands still and you can really feel the warmth and hospitality of its people.

<3 I'm totally with you on how Burgos is more than just a beautiful region with amazing wines . The community vibes there are seriously infectious - from the traditional wine cellars to the modern wineries, everyone seems to be having so much fun sharing food and drink together . And can we talk about how gorgeous it is to explore a place where time stands still? Like, I felt like I stepped into a fairy tale in Moradillo de Roa, with those "hills of wine cellars" that reminded me of Tolkien's Shire . It's amazing how Burgos shows us that wine isn't just about the drink itself, but about the memories we make when we share it with others .
