Navarra, a land immersed in history, famous for its splendid cuisine and hospitality, is an ideal destination for business meetings, a real pleasure to the senses.
The choice of Navarra as a meeting destination, where it is possible to combine work with the pleasure of wine, culinary art and nature, will transform any business meetings into an unforgettable experience of calm and plenitude. The quality and professionalism of the facilities and services of the region’s wineries are complemented by the unequalled beauty of their surroundings and their select range of leisure activities for unwinding after a hard day’s work. Riding through vineyards, exploring the varieties and peculiarities of Navarra’s wines at the tasting sessions organized by the region’s wineries, or accompanied by the best in traditional cuisine, discovering the changing hues of the vines and the wealth of landscapes from the region’s vantage points will provide the finishing touch to an unforgettable trip.
In addition, Navarra boasts a wide range of both family-run, traditional wineries and modern, innovative ones, equipped with excellent facilities for corporate events such as conferences, workshops, board meetings, or client incentives.
In Puente La Reina, the Sarria Winery provides clients with a bespoke corporate event service, with venues and equipment to meet all their needs. The winery’s quality cuisine, prepared and presented with utmost care, is the best complement to its exceptional wines.
Likewise, Olite is the home of the Marco Real and Señorio de Andion wines, produced by the Belasco family, who offer meals at the winery, ribs with wine shoots, the house speciality, being the perfect accompaniment to their best vintages. In addition to a fully equipped function room for corporate meetings, the winery’s differentiating factor is the “Aroma Room”, offering visitors the chance to test their nose with 40 different wine aromas in a very educational and entertaining way.
The Pagos de Araiz winery, also in Olite, has 650 acres of vineyards, gardens and terraces surrounding its facilities, lounges and dining rooms, fully adaptable to the number of guests attending the brunch, lunch, dinner or cocktail party, accompanied by its excellent wines.
In the town of Muruzabal, the Palacio de Muruzabal winery has 100m2 of private event facilities, housed in a stately 16th century Baroque palace.
All these towns are located in the so-called “Zona Media de Navarra” (mid-zone of Navarra), where the climate is milder and the mountains merge with the hills. It is the viticultural heart of the region, through which most of the Wine Route runs, where the Grenache variety predominates in the vineyards and many examples of Navarra’s of historic and artistic heritage – on which the St James Way has left a deep mark – are to be found.
Municipalities like Olite, Tafalla, Puente La Reina, Obanos or Estella contain many examples of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, which are a must for all visitors, reflecting the rich legacy that the Middle Ages left the Kingdom of Navarra. A good example of this is the 12th century Church of Santa Maria de Eunate, in Tafalla, the Castle-Royal Palace of Olite and its accompanying monuments, and the medieval villages of San Martin de Unx and Ujué, replete with magic and legend.
