Wineries Don't Relate To Dirty Paths Anymore

If you go to a winery, you would think that you’ll have to walk through an agricultural outing, with dirty-muddy paths and dark creepy cellars. That idea has been changing gradually.


Lately, wineries are following today’s design ideas. Now wineries are being redesigned by famous architects around the globe, incorporating hotels, spas and shops to the design.

Architects and designers are using the wine brand/style as an inspiration for not only their winery but also the napkins, towels… almost everything. The better the wine, the more passion and attention is put into designing the winery.
A good examples is the Hotel Marques de Riscal, designed by Frank Gehry and located in Elciego, Spain.

The hotel/winery/tasting house has 43 suites, a cooking school and two elite restaurants.
