Vineyards grown without artificial irrigation, on sandy or calcareous soils that produce vibrant wines. The humidity of the night and the breezes of the day protect their balanced vines. Organic viticulture surrounded by almond and olive trees, a living ecosystem.
Les Freses - View of the winery and vineyards.
Imagine walking down a path flanked by vines swaying between almond and olive trees. The Montgó rises in the background, the wind carries a hint of the sea, and you are greeted by the scent of a wine that tastes of time and the entire Mediterranean.
Welcome to Les Freses, where Mara has transformed the memory of a strawberry farm into a project of organic viticulture and poetic sensibility.
Their dry white wines, record-breaking in greenish straw hues, are made from 100% Muscat of Alexandria, grown without chemicals, respecting the microclimate and tradition. Fresh flowers (jasmine, orange blossom, rose) on the nose, followed by a dry, saline finish with hints of fennel, ginger, and grapefruit.
There, the dominant grape variety is Muscat of Alexandria, vibrant, dry, and floral, reflecting the saline climate and the sandy, calcareous terroir. Wines such as Les Freses Blanco Seco, Àmfora, or Dolç are made with their own yeasts and, depending on the winery, in antique amphorae or stainless steel tanks. The result: a pure expression of the Alicante landscape, with a clean soul and a long finish (tiendalesfreses.com, lesfreses.com).
Les Freses ferments with its own yeasts, using clay amphorae and demijohns depending on the wine. It respects artisanal timing, without rushing. This old-new philosophy connects with the first winery in Europe found on that same property.
The experience of the visit transcends a simple tasting. You walk with a guide between the vineyard and the old Riu Rau, tasting one wine after another, paired with local tapas or a traditional sweet breakfast, all accompanied by ancestral history. A cultural, sensorial, and gastronomic morning that will leave a mark on any wine or Mediterranean landscape lover.

Three must-see castles on the Costa Blanca: The Costa Blanca is not only synonymous with idyllic beaches and coves; it also holds a fascinating history among its hills and cities. Three castles stand out as architectural and cultural gems: the Santa Bárbara Castle in Alicante, the Atalaya de Villena and the Dénia Castle. Each one belongs to a different route and tells a unique chapter of the region's past.
Agost is much more than a town on the Costa Blanca; it is a corner where art and tradition come to life. In its streets, the sound of the potter's wheel and the smell of baked clay tell stories of generations dedicated to transforming the earth into authentic artisanal jewels. Here, the visitor not only observes, but is immersed in a unique experience: from admiring pieces of contemporary design to experiencing the emotion of creating their own work in workshops guided by master potters. Agost invites you to dream, to connect with the essential and to take home a piece of their soul.
