The Wine Museum is part of the property of what has been called the House of Vine and Wine. It is located in a warehouse dating from 1918, which was renovated in two phases. The facade of the building is a unique example of modernist industrial architecture in the area. The site has 1200 square meters built as well as an annexed area for future expansion.
The House of Vine and Wine has the following entities:
The museum is conceived as a promotional element of Cariñena wine, with an emphasis on the peculiarities of the region in the exhibition.
In addition, the center introduces the culture of wine to non-experts, showing the complexity of the process, which should contribute to enhance the appreciation of wine.
Another important aim is to offer a homage to the people of the area, who for centuries have been devoted to the wine industry, promoting the work of winemakers and laborers in order to acknowledge their value.
The exhibition begins with the area we call “The people of Cariñena,” an area that has special importance, and can be seen from most parts of the museum.
The theme of the museum can be appreciated in the vats of the former warehouse, reused as exhibit displays on the ground, which explain the characteristics of the area and the wines. There is also historical material from the producers of the area, collected through hard work of industrial archeology.
The museum conducts a large number of activities aimed at promoting the wine from Cariñena, with lectures, courses and training.
Given the importance as a cultural entity in the area, there are also temporary exhibitions to give priority to the educational aspect and the promotion of young artists in the area, complementing these with courses in history, art and other disciplines of the humanities. Along this line, in recent years there has been collaboration with the Faculty of Philosophy and Literature at the University of Zaragoza with the Research Award “The culture of wine.”
