  Four dining areas offer guests a traditional and contemporary gastronomic experience.  Refectorio – holding one Michelin Star, a Green Star and two Repsol Suns, serves avant-garde classics, based on seasonal locally-sourced on grown-on-site produce, which pair well with the estate’s wine; Vinoteca – offers an unassuming and sophisticated experience in a laid-back setting amongst the winery’s private collection to enjoy market cuisine and sharing plates with over 40 quality wines to try; Cloister Garden – Vinoteca’s terrace open throughout the summer and where breakfast is served; and Calicata Terroir Bar – a special wine bar surrounded by vineyards and pine trees, offering a gastronomic menu based on fresh local produce and the perfect spot to taste the estate’s own wines and others from leading producers. Abadía Retuerta sits within an enclave by the river Duero, which defines the surrounding terroir and consequently its first-rate wine produced from the best grapes within the vineyards. Cueva de los Monjes (the Monks’ Cave) is their collection of exceptionally rare vintages.
