It is an ideal destination for this kind of activity.It is a relatively unknown  place for most people but offers a vibrant Spanish city atmosphere, great places to visit,an amazing food market,fab food and wine and excellent facilities. And in the region; Xativa is a historical town with excellent hotels and restaurants and nearby the winegrowing area of Alforins de Fontanars is a fascinating region famous for its unique wineries and wines.

Indoor market

Central Market Valencia

The hotels we use have excellent facilities, with meeting rooms, great food and are well situated and in the case of Xativa offer a refuge from the bustle and hassle of modern life. The hotel we use in Xativa is set in beautiful gardens below the spectacular Roman and Moorish castle. Peaceful and relaxing yet  sufficiently near to town to stroll into the centre and enjoy the atmosphere of a typical Spanish provincial.town.

They have chosen us and Valencia because they can two days of meetings in quiet secluded settings and then have three days of cultural and gastronomic activities.

They get to visit old family wineries after walking through scenic countryside to taste the wine made from the very vines they have seen.They then see how wine is made in giant 300 year old clay jars and talk to the owner about how they manage to continue to make their wine in this way. All followed up with a tasty paella valenciana cooked over an open fire outdoors. Another day they will explore the old centre of Valencia concentrating on the delights of Valencia’s food market and then to the beach for lunch.Their third cultural day consists of a guided tour of the Borgia’s home town,Xativa and a visit to the local craft beer brewery followed up in the evening with a tasty and fun farewell tapas dinner.
