Manilva: Nilva wine experience - Wine & tapas
Manilva is a small coastal town in Malaga, in the heart of the Costa del Sol, which still preserves historic Moscatel de Alejandría vineyards facing Mediterranean Sea, but which are in serious danger of disappearing due to urban development harassment and lack of profitability. With our project, based on the production of Nilva wines and wine tourism, we want to contribute to save these old vineyards and make the work of the farmers profitable. In our guided tours you can visit the Civima (Centro de Interpretación Viñas de Manilva), where, through its three rooms (viticulture, oenology and grape harvest) you will learn about the winemaking traditions of Manilva. In our small artisan winery (garage wine), you will learn how we elaborate our Nilva wines and finally we go to the Viña del Peñoncillo, certified as organic agriculture, where we taste four wines and tapas (ham, cheese), with extraordinary views to Mediterranean Sea and Africa. Our project "Save the Vineyards of Manilva" has received the International Skal award for sustainable tourism. With your visit you are helping us to save the vineyards of Manilva. After CIVIMA (Wine Museum) and Nilva winery, we go to the Vineyard located 1 km from CIVIMA; ATTENTION: you need your own vehicle to get there (or walking, a 10 minute walk approximately). A unique experience, in a unique environment
