WINERY

Roots

In 1850, Pedro Candela Soriano started making and selling small quantities of wine locally. By 1925, his son, Antonio Candela García, had founded a small winery, which his own son and grandson, Antonio Candela Poveda, would later expand into the thriving business we know today.

The Candela Family

In 2006, the fourth generation—Antonio and Alfredo Candela—sought to raise the bar in wine quality, thus founding Bodegas Barahonda. Today, Antonio and Alfredo uphold the passion, knowledge, and traditions passed down by their ancestors. The Candela family has dedicated life, body, and soul into wine, something you’ll feel when you visit Bodegas Barahonda.

The winery’s distinctive architecture, with its simple, symmetrical lines, contrasts with the old farmhouses nearby, while blending perfectly with the valley landscape. Built with traditional materials and surrounded by Monastrell vineyards, our winery offers tours of the modern facilities, wine tastings, and panoramic vineyard views from our Repsol Sol-awarded restaurant and Michelin guide’s mention. At Barahonda, we are passionate about wine. We take pride in our land, crafting structured, expressive wines that are intense in color and flavor. These wines are complex, characterful, and each year, they receive accolades and high scores from top critics worldwide. Our wines are tied to the land, crafted from the vine, and tended to in the vineyard—an essential part of their quality.
