Description

Representative sample of the importance that the wine growing has had in our town, and as main attraction, we can visit the Ethnological Historical Museum "La Costera", located in a restored winery of the late eighteenth century, which shows how the traditional winemaking was done. Inside, we can find, firstly, the entrance of the grape harvest cart when the grapes are brought to the wine press and the whole process of treading and pressing the must.

On the second level, we can see the fermentation tanks or decanting picks, with all the laboratory tools.
On the third level, we find an area for the sale and storage of wine.

This whole process, on two or three levels, is typical of La Font de la Figuera, where the unevenness of the streets is used to make possible the natural decanting of the remains of the fermentation process of our wines.

The Museum also contains other differentiated spaces, such as the recreation of a typical house documented since the 16th century, an oil mill and the reproduction of a distillery of liquors and spirits from the beginning of the 20th century, which has been moved from its origin, when it ended its activity.

It has an exhibition area of approximately 450m2.
