Overview

Walk in the footsteps of Gen. Hannibal & EscipiĆ³n 212BC exploring the Roman fortress of Saguntum, Roman Theatre & elements of Islamic-medieval Valencia. The tour combines impressive historic sites with a Romanic themed Wine tasting + Maridaje lunch option at the foot of the amphitheatre. Wines from autĆ³ctono grapes Mourvedre, Garnacha & Moscatel were historically important from Camp de Mourvedre & our glorious tasting represents these wines in various styles. Sadly the comarca fell from itĀ“s Roman viticultural glory to a registered 100hct in 1975; mainly Moscatel & only 1hct of Mourvedre. The 1912 invasion of filoxera killed 90% of vines & then legislation changed agriculture, ending the reign of vineyards in Campo de Sagunto.
We pay homage to to the Romans & the wines they exported to Rome with a tasting of select dry wines & the Royal historic Fondillon aged 30+yrs with an inspiring maridaje lunch. FYI booking on Viator we pay 26% commission, booking directly is also possible.

Activity itinerary

Real Monasterio De Santa Maria Del Puig
  • 1h 10m
  • Admission ticket included
After pickup in Valencia we make our way to the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria del Puig, *journey time 25mins. The guided tour of the Monastery starts 1000hrs. Background: founded by King Jaime I "The Conquerer" in 1240 itĀ“s historical relevance is due to the definitive confrontation of Valencia, the Battle of El Puig 1237. A church was completed by 1240 & affiliated with the Mercedarian knights order. Soon the church was insufficient for the flood of pilgrims & in 1300 the present stunning Gothic church erected. In 1588 the imposing Monastery was built & we visit the cloisters; SalĆ³n Real still used by monarchs on visits to Valencia; SalĆ³n GĆ³tico of King Jaume I with replica his sword & SalĆ³n of Ceramics. Also of importance is The National Museum of Printing & Graphic inc. collection 18thC Escuela Valenciana- highlights Frescos of Camarin de la Virgin.
Sagunto Castle
  • 1h 50m
  • Admission ticket included
Arriving at Sagunto we visit many of the Roman antiquities; the Castle with Forum, Almenara Gate, Military History Museum, South Gate of Roman Circus, the colossal amphitheatre I AD, seating 4000 people being among the most impressive. As we weave our way through the old streets we view buildings & relics from the Islamic & medieval period such as the Church of Santa Maria constructed by Jaime I, Jewish quarter, baths & burial cemetery, "Ermitas" La Sangre, Magdelena & Calvary, Sagunto History Museum, Casa del Berenguer noble home & Plaza Mayor elements...passing interesting local art/craft shops on our accent to the castle. The order of our route varies. (*Journey time El Puig to Sagunto 20 mins.) This is a walking tour with inclined road to the theatre & castle. I consider it easy/moderate difficulty but is gradual accent- if one has walking problems/health issues this may be difficult but similiar to my other castle tours to XƠtiva & PeƱiscola Castle in walking involved.
Restaurante y Copas Le Fou
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Our themed wine tasting takes place opposite the Teatro Romano at Restaurante "Le Fou" at 1300hrs approx. consisting of 5 select wines inc. Vintage 30+yr Fondillon with *maridaje 4 innovative dishes. The Express Tasting option inc. cheese & bread & chocolate to compliment the tasting, not lunch with shorter duration. Depending on weather, we may be on the terrace with Roman Fountain or in the comfortable salon with castle view. Later we descend to the town ...thereafter returning to Valencia for approx. 1600hrs . The tour is flexible with omission of some monuments & return to Valencia earlier or can be tailored to suit your ship times. *Return to Journey to Valencia or port 20-25mins.
