Bodega Javier Sanz Viticultor hosts weddings, company dinners, conferences, product launches and tastings for up to 250 guests, split between its winery in the vineyards and the restored Iglesia de la Orden Tercera in the village. Both are in La Seca, in the province of Valladolid, in the Rueda wine area.
Seminars and company events
The winery sells meetings, conferences, presentations and product launches, training sessions, workshops and team building, as well as gala dinners, award evenings and networking events. Its halls are bright, with equipped terraces and outdoor areas that look onto the vines. For a larger audience or a more formal setting, the Iglesia de la Orden Tercera offers a single nave for congresses, presentations and gala dinners. A cellar visit or a guided tasting can be added to a meeting day: the winery runs several wine tourism experiences, including a sunset tasting and a session on recovered grape varieties.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, first communions, baptisms, birthdays and anniversaries are held in both places. In the church, the ceremony or the dinner takes place in the nave, and drinks are served in the garden and under the brick porch. At the winery, receptions use the terraces and outdoor areas facing the vineyard.
Rooms and capacities
The Iglesia de la Orden Tercera takes up to 250 guests. Its nave keeps the original structure, with a wooden ceiling and a skylight, and the outdoor areas include a garden, a brick porch and the tower. The spaces can be set up and decorated to suit each event. The winery's halls, terraces and outdoor areas carry no stated capacity on the site, so the right space for a given group is confirmed with the events team.
Catering
The winery works with catering partners, and organizers may also bring their own team. Wines come from the estate's own vineyards in the Rueda appellation. Decoration and event management are offered as additional services.
History and setting
The winery is the work of five generations of the Sanz family and farms more than 120 hectares of its own vines, including prephylloxera plots more than 150 years old. It has brought back forgotten local grape varieties such as Malcorta and Cenicienta. The Iglesia de la Orden Tercera was built from 1728 and has been restored in a contemporary style that keeps its original structure. Javier Sanz recovered the building and turned it into an event venue, which keeps a direct link between the church and the wines served there.
Getting there
The winery stands on the CL-610 road at kilometer 29, in La Seca, and the church at Calle Iglesia 8, in the village. Valladolid is less than 30 minutes away by road, Tordesillas and Medina del Campo about 20 minutes, and Madrid less than two hours. Valladolid has the nearest high-speed rail station and airport.
