The vine has been cultivated in these lands for many centuries. Chronicles from the Middle Ages tell us about the Sarría Estate and how the Lord of Sarría accompanied King Sancho the Strong in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (1212).


Centuries later, we know that Juan de Azpilicueta, brother of Saint Francisco Javier, patron saint of Navarra, financed his brother´s studies in Paris out of farming this land. The manuscript in which San Francisco thanks his brother for this assistance has been preserved to this day.

In 1953, an important businessman of Navarra, Sir Felix Huarte, bought the Sarría estate and this was when the vineyard was fully established and the winery constructed. In this way the production of wine under the brand Señorío de Sarría was started. From its beginnings, the winery focused on the production of high quality wines and it was a precursor in selling wines under the Navarra seal of origin (“D.O. Navarra”) throughout Spain.

In 1981 a new era began, but it was in 2001 that Bodega de Sarria started a new and ambitious renovation project with the aim of putting the winery in the vanguard of the national and international market.
