March 7 Guided tour of the wine and furniture industries in Yecla

The FAMA factory in Yecla and Bodegas Conde de Montornés represent the two main strengths of Yecla’s economy

The stand-out features of the local economy of Yecla, apart from agriculture, services and tourism, are the niche wine and furniture production activities, bringing worldwide recognition to the northernmost municipality in the Region of Murcia.

For this reason, as part of the sports and tourism program in the town during the first quarter of 2025, this free guided tour is being held on Friday March 7, taking in visits to the FAMA furniture company, which specializes in upholstered products, and Bodegas Conde de Montornés, one of the wineries affiliated to the Yecla Wine Route. The visit to the furniture factory includes a chance to see the production line itself as well as gain insights into the design process, while at the winery the whole production is explained before a brief guided tasting of the end product!

The tour begins at 16.30 at the premises of FAMA (there are two factories but the tourist office will send an email to confirm shortly before the event) and is expected to last approximately 2 and a half hours. The registration cost of 9 euros is to be paid at the winery and covers the cost of the visit and the tasting.

Please note: participants will need to make their way from FAMA to the winery in their own vehicles.

Prior registration is required online here - and please bear in mind that this kind of event in Yecla is normally fully booked very quickly, so don’t dally for too long before reserving your place!
