What it is
With the grape harvest over, Montilla celebrates the arrival of the mosto nuevo, the first young wine of the season in the land of the Montilla-Moriles designation of origin. The Hermandad de la Misericordia organises its Fiesta del Mosto Nuevo at the lagar and winery of the Cooperativa La Unión, one of the places linked to the town's wine culture. The municipal calendar places it at midday on Sunday, at aperitif and lunch time. It is a traditional outing of the Montilla autumn, when the freshly made mosto is tried in lagares and tabancos before the wine goes on to be aged. Going to taste it at a cooperative winery is a direct way of getting close to the local wine cycle.
Getting there and tickets
The event is on Sunday 25 October 2026, from 12:30 to 16:30, at the lagar and winery of the Cooperativa La Unión, in Montilla. The Town Council's calendar gives no details of drink prices or advance sales. That information comes from the organiser, the Hermandad de la Misericordia. The event appears in Montilla's official calendar (montilla.es/agenda). It coincides with the last Sunday in October, the day the clocks go back, so bear that in mind so as not to arrive an hour out.
