Located in the peaceful countryside between Benicàssim and Castellón de la Plana, the Baron d'Alba – Clos Desgarracordes estate stands as a true example of Mediterranean viticulture, warm hospitality, and unforgettable food-and-wine experiences. This stop, included in the España Discovery network, not only offers a safe and well-maintained place for motorhome travelers but also a deep connection to the land and character of this eastern Spanish region.
Wine with identity, born of care
Clos Desgarracordes produces wines with a strong identity, grounded in respectful farming, thoughtful techniques, and a continuous pursuit of quality. The calcareous soils, the climate influenced by both sea breeze and inland warmth, and the daily care of the land result in wines that are elegant on the nose, structured on the palate, and rich in personality. The name itself, which refers to the passionate act of breaking a lute’s strings in an emotional outburst, perfectly captures the spirit of each bottle: something that stirs emotion.
Genuine hospitality: Sergio and María José
Sergio and María José welcome travelers with an immediate warmth. They understand the camper lifestyle and the needs of those exploring the country on wheels. The parking and overnight area is level, green, and easily accessible from the winery, all while preserving guests' privacy. The surrounding silence, broken only by birdsong or the crackling of a grill, is part of the charm.
This isn’t just about parking — it’s about feeling welcomed.

Tastings by the fire: calçots and barbecues
At Clos Desgarracordes, the wine experience is enhanced with slow-fire cuisine. A favorite among visitors are the calçots grilled over an open flame: sweet seasonal onions roasted directly in fire until their outer layers are charred. They’re peeled by hand and dipped in romesco sauce—a rustic, flavorful tradition that embodies Mediterranean simplicity. On other occasions, barbecues featuring local products are prepared, with wine as the natural centerpiece.
