JMGEM Field Trip to Torres

The second JMGEM trip was a tour of the Torres Vineyard. Torres is the largest wine producer in Spain. The vineyard was enormous. In my opinion Torres was completely different from Napa Valley and Sonoma vinyards. This place was a wine Disneyland. We started off in a movie theatre for a video on the Torres family history. Then we went to a smell room and then we went on a tram ride around the vineyard. On a side note, my mom was visiting last weekend so I brought her along.

JMGEM Field trip to La Fageda

Last week we had two JMGEM trips. The first one was to the dairy company La Fageda. They aid the local community by employing the mentally disabled and providing some with housing. Currently 90% of mentally disabled are unemployed in Spain. La Fageda’s main products are yogurt and milk.

On our tour we saw tons of cows. They were huge.
