Homeland of Wine

Located at the eastern end of the province of Ciudad Real, in the heart of the La Mancha region, we find Socuéllamos, a municipality with more than 13,000 inhabitants. Watered by the Záncara and Córcoles rivers, Socuéllamos is considered the ‘Homeland of Wine’.
It is one of the most important wine-producing municipalities in the province. Still, despite the considerable extension of its urban area, it has not lost the traditional serenity that the people of La Mancha exude, whose life traditionally revolves around the square, the centre of the city activity.

Brief History of Socuéllamos

Despite the remains of Iberian and Roman settlements, the first written evidence of the existence of Socuéllamos dates from the time of Fernando IV (13th century), later becoming the third Commandery of the Military Order of Santiago.
The concession of the “Carta Puebla” of Socuéllamos, granted by Don Juan Osórez, Grand Master of this Order, exempted anyone who planted vineyards from paying taxes, forever linked the history of Socuéllamos to the cultivation of the vine. And to winemaking.
Other great commanders who left their mark were Don Antonio de Mendoza, Viceroy of Mexico and Peru, and his own son, a character mentioned by Cervantes in his work El Gallardo Español. Together with the town’s inhabitants, all of them made the great history of this town.
