Nestled in the municipality of Salinas, right in the heart of the Alto Vinalopó region, this winery embodies the essence of a different side of Alicante. Far from the beaches and the most popular tourist routes, the landscape here transforms into a mosaic of vineyards, mountains, and open horizons where time seems to pass at a different pace.
For travelers exploring Spain with motorhome, Finca Collado offers much more than just a wine-tasting tour. It is an exclusive stopover for users of the España Discovery guide—a place where a passion for wine and the spirit of road travel come together in a stunning setting.

As soon as you arrive, Candela, Daniela, or Vicente will be delighted to welcome you and help you explore an estate where every corner tells a story connected to the land, wine, and the traditions of inland Alicante.
Spend the night at motorhome among the vineyards and under a star-filled sky
Just getting to the estate is part of the adventure. The roads that wind through the Alicante countryside lead to a stunning landscape, shaped by centuries of agricultural tradition and a climate that has allowed for the cultivation of some of the Mediterranean’s most interesting varieties.
As you park next to the vineyards, the feeling is immediate: tranquility, nature, and the promise of a unique experience.
When the sun begins to set behind the mountains, the estate reveals its most special side. Golden hues illuminate the vineyards as a gentle breeze sweeps across the fields. It’s the perfect moment to enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the scenery and understanding why so many travelers consider this stop one of the hidden gems of Alicante’s inland region.
When night falls, silence takes center stage. Far from large urban centers, the sky fills with stars, offering one of those natural spectacles that can only be fully enjoyed when traveling freely. Sleeping surrounded by vineyards and waking up to the scents of the countryside is an experience that connects you with the very essence of travel at motorhome.
The Silent Revolution at Finca Collado
The recent history of Finca Collado is that of a project that chose to look to the past to build the future. Since Joan Guía and Samuel Castelló joined the winery, it has worked tirelessly to restore this region’s historic winemaking identity.
That commitment has led to the restoration of old vineyards, the preservation of traditional grape varieties, and ongoing research to adapt crops to Mediterranean climate conditions. Among the most notable projects is the revival of Garnacha Blanca, a variety that had virtually disappeared from the province and that today once again occupies the place it deserves thanks to the efforts of initiatives like this one.
All of this is carried out in accordance with a philosophy based on respect for nature, minimal intervention, and the pursuit of wines that faithfully express the character of the region.
Wines with Their Own Distinct Character in the Alicante PDO
The result of years of hard work is reflected in a collection of wines that stand out for their authenticity and character.
Finca Collado has successfully combined historic and Mediterranean grape varieties to create wines that are now among the most interesting offerings of the Alicante D.O.P. Wines such as Chardonnay + Moscatell, Flor Malvés Malvasía, and Va de Bo Bobal perfectly embody this constant search for identity and uniqueness.
Monastrell, the true queen of the southeastern Iberian Peninsula, also plays a leading role at the winery, giving rise to wines that showcase the different nuances of a variety deeply rooted in this region.
Each bottle is an invitation to discover the landscape, climate, and history of a region that has been closely tied to viticulture for generations.
A wine tourism experience to enjoy at your own pace
Visiting Finca Collado means delving into the heart of Alicante’s countryside. Tours of the estate offer insight into the importance of the soil, climate, and local grape varieties in winemaking. Strolling among the vines, learning about the work that takes place throughout the year, and tasting the wines right where they’re made turns the visit into an intimate, authentic, and enriching experience.
Here, wine is seen as culture, as landscape, and as a way to preserve the identity of an extraordinary region.
