As several members were not able to join the trip to Huerto Ribero in February, a second tour has now been organised. 

Thursday 10th April 2025

Learn about the origin and history of authentic Valencian Vermouth, the oldest aperitif in existence, made since 1904 in Valencia by the Valsangiacomo family. You will be able to make your own artisanal Vermouth and taste this typical Valencian drink.

After leaving Javea we will travel to Huerto Ribera and have a guided walk through the gardens and orchard, where you will pick your own bag of oranges to take home.

Next there will be a tasting of natural juice, homemade jams, orange blossom honey & Valencian liqueurs, before experiencing the Vermouth Workshop, where we will learn about the origin and history of authentic Valencian Vermouth, make our own artisanal Vermouth and taste this typical Valencian drink.

At the end of our visit to Huerto Ribera, we will reboard our coach and travel to Molí Canyar, a charming restaurant located on the ground floor of an old restored 15^th century mill. Rustic decoration that combines with fine wood and thick stone walls, arches and other elements that make it special where you can absorb its 500 years of history, and it still preserves the machinery intact.  The elegant entrance, the columns, the old mill machinery, the pond, beautiful gardens and fountains, combine to provide a lovely place to dine.

After lunch we will reboard our coach for the journey back to Jávea.
