Zapatero Pinto family, pasat, present and future
The story of the El Lagar de Isilla Winery started in 1995 in Ribera del Duero. It all started in the 15th century historic underground cavern below the restaurant Lagar de Isilla in Aranda de Duero.
There, at depth of 12 metres, the Zapatero Pinto family elaborated the first 50,000 bottles of wine which today serves as a reference for the 250,000 bottles now produced annually.
The success of the wines produced by Lagar de Isilla made the Zapatero Pinto family think about opening a new winery. The Enological Complex in La Vid was then constructed on a block of land with a colonial building dating from 1890. First the winery was constructed, then a gourmet shop and then the hotel.
In recognition of their work, the Zapatero Pinto family have been awarded by the organization Rutas de Vino de España, the Award for Enotourism Merit.
