i found the most spectacular wine paradise near valencia but was
everything perfect? it's a problem can actually not be here
it's a policy but it's my dad's birthday i'm sorry i just got really upset so
we're here in front of the very famous north station here in
valencia you've probably seen it in my other
videos just kidding
[Music] taking some time off
from the city and just going on a day trip
and someone's really excited about it does not like to travel at all
i think he's traumatized from our arrival from la to here still remembers
that it's post-traumatic
by the way this is definitely not my assigned seat
i'm just here because Balthazar just going crazy and driving me crazy
every move every move i make
[Music]
i can't believe how new this station is
i didn't expect that because it's a remote place
[Music] and look at this station
unbelievable we have a cab and it was actually
ordered for us because it's kind of in the middle of nowhere and now
we're almost there it's super scenic and
yeah i'm excited to see
and we're here wow
it is so quiet and tomorrow there is a special event here there is a wedding
but tonight we're going to take advantage of the pool they have a water
that uses kind of like a natural pool they use it also for irrigation but
tonight it's all for us when i was picking the winery i didn't
want to choose anything that is big and commercial i was looking for a small
family winery and and like i'm so happy that we
we picked this one tomorrow we're going to find out about the whole family how
they bought the winery how many years they've been growing the grapes and the
whole process
[Music]
they are preparing for the wedding tomorrow
[Music]
and this is the pool i'm talking about it's only halfway full but the water is
really fresh they just filled it up in a bridge we're going to take such a great
photos here oh my god it's incredible look at the door i mean come on wait wow
[Music]
it's so rustic i love it it's a big spanish house with great
acoustic i really feel time here don't you like walking here the the passage of
time like it's incredible and especially when they tell us about their family and
how things were built and what they got first and that's our room
let's see which key works
authentic tiling on the bottom
tomorrow and tonight it's going to be empty just us
[Music] do you hear the crickets
this is unbelievable we forget when we live in the city how
much nature can give you i mean it's so
ah i don't know if i'll have a chance maybe
tonight we can try the pool the feeling it's like we're by the lake or something
it doesn't feel like an artificial pool remember that scene from
call me by your name that's exactly how i feel right now
too much emotion too much expressing every second every minute of the time
and now you can't walk lazy boy they're good um i'm not that crazy i
love this i almost made a problem because the guy forgot to bring us
the peanuts for some reason anywhere you sit you order drink at a
bar this just enhances everything makes
everything so much better
[Music]
this restaurant it's it's almost like a michelin star restaurant everything
looks so good so we want to see it it's inside let me show you
[Music] it's for my dad's 70th birthday
this is amazing here whoa what a cute town i think it's this one
so there are two places here and they're both amazing but this is uh
we're actually going down there because we're going
down into a cave the restaurant sits in a cave but i'm liking the vibe of this
uh this whole village it's like yeah something special
it's a problem we're both there but he'll be on the ground like what's the
problem
we do know that um they might not be accepting dogs but we'll see it's a
policy but you know he'll be on the ground it's a
cave after all so they'll talk to the owner
and let's see maybe we'll get lucky balti
you're a good dog good boy
should we ask her or just go inside
so the dog is not allowed
[Music] that's the policy of the restaurant
he will be on the ground he can he can actually not be here so if
you you can have dinner - yeah it's my dad's birthday
yeah we just need to eat at a good place can we try the other place i don't mean
to be that upset but it's like it's a good restaurant and we're here
it's a small dog okay he doesn't create any problems
Balthazar it's just going crazy and i said he's going to be on the ground i'm
sorry i just got really upset yantar they said no
here they also said no but at least the guy was so nice to bring us a table on
the side and actually accommodate us which is pretty sweet so we're back
we're back
so we have a little situation here we have a neighbor so that won't be a quiet
night it's a little dog
and baltazar is getting
[Music]
we're trying some local wine
it's actually merlot i almost forgot to drink merlot in spain
it's really good
i wish it was like a couple degrees cooler usually i don't like like
chilled chilled wine but couple degrees cooler would be amazing noodles the
merlot delirium ensalada and of course
the vegetarian salad called bacon but we asked to be on the side apart
Lentil soup in Istanbul and Gazpacho in Spain
hold on hold on hold your horses
excellent they said that everything's booked but
it's already it's already what 10
again my invisible watch it's already 10 o'clock terrace it's
pretty empty i mean a few people left where are these people coming midnight i
don't know this is some typical typical dish with an egg
and potatoes and i don't know what kind of meat that is but mine is
Balty! and mine is bacalao with caramelized onions
and raisins grilled chicken
with the with the best peppers ever it's its been a long day
both are he's like i got enough like you gotta you know cut it off
at night it's a different story huh
[Music]
good morning they're setting up the
wedding here wow what a beautiful morning crickets or what is this there i
don't know but yeah we're gonna have a wine tasting
today and uh that's gonna be in a couple hours but first
breakfast
it's like something with nutella nice we can start with the wine
oh buenas private breakfast with cheese
from la mancha we're gonna see this i hope
uh we're gonna go check the vines but i don't know if we have access to them
because they're all the way on the other side let's see i don't know if the road
goes there we might need to that's even that's actually a train
train uh the train goes from here no it can't be that close that's the actual
winery it's pretty it's really pretty looks like a little it's a villa it's a
beautiful villa they they actually have the wine tour in spanish and then in a
different hour in english obviously we're joining in english
because our spanish is not that good yet even though i think i can understand
this much about the flavors of wine and the romans even in spanish okay i got
tired i don't think we're gonna get to the vines
[Music] it is such an instagramable place i
already i'm gonna be uploading some from this because it's so beautiful
so everything matters the soil it's a it's a red soil
it's very dry but this is awesome i've never
actually been like in inside the vineyard there are no dogs huh?
let's crash a wedding nothing to crash nobody here let's take a little break
the hosts have been really great here very accommodating it's super easy to
get here with the train but
the taxis are so expensive last night we paid just for like 10
15 minutes right 30 euro i think it's a lot it really it's worth if you're
coming with a car it's much easier of course but we didn't want to deal with
the rental and everything but yeah there's going to be a wedding later here
and we'll be having our wine tour in 30
minutes i'm curious to see how they produce everything i don't
remember ever hearing so many sounds of nature
at the same time
i can't even identify if those are birds or crickets
or some other creatures my family they come from the
east of the city of valencia now is the east of valencia but originally the 19th
century was an independent village that was called el grau
ok so let's go inside this area as you can see we have holes because
underground of us we have wine tanks originally they use it for fermentation
one thing is to drink wine but another is to learn about the
harvesting and the fermentation and the aging of wine everything that goes into
this process my favorite part was going underground
and seeing all the dusty bottles just resting in peace and quiet it was really
interesting i love the dust
this is 100 tardana this is our local white grape yeah and the name tardana
comes from the word tarde in spanish and tarde means late
yeah so because this grape always arrives very late if we compare with
other grapes late exactly
anything you can recommend there too and uh also wine in france wine wine wine
okay how do you compare, secretly french or spanish wine
i think you can you can find very nice wines in both countries i can't
tell because now i'm speaking more spanish wine because i'm living here but
you are very very good products in both countries yeah really Spain seems a
little bit underrated in a way less famous yeah very
and i hope in the future Spain will be more famous for the wines it produces
[Music]
It's so complicated
whole system of regulating and they can't just produce any wine it's like
connected to the region the soil i didn't know that
[Music]
how many wines you drink per day
between three to six bottles, no
maybe one two glasses
i'm loading i'm already loading wine
that's bobal it is the merlot you should always listen to whatever happens
circumstances change things change we were supposed to be in one bodega and
now we're here and we have the loveliest experience people are great the
atmosphere the landscape
the wine of course amazing
so bye
and we met some great people from france from slovakia from
spain of course just listen to your heart a little more like don't judge
things they they change for the better
we ended up where we started from it's
like this station that is a high-tech station because pretty much nobody
it's a little bit sad that nobody is here nobody look at started there's no one here
pretty clean though very clean quiet
i feel like um was that movie uh last man on earth
i feel i can run here and do anything break the vending machine and no one
else is going to say anything
and there's so many places that nobody
knows about watch my video here to find one of the most underrated
cities in spain because i think everyone should see this
[Music]
