Joaquin Rivero Collection

Imagine wandering through a Spanish winery, not just to taste exquisite wines, but to feast your eyes on a stunning collection of art. That's what awaits you at the Pinacoteca de Bodegas Tradición. Since June 2006, this unique venue, transformed from a winery warehouse, has been home to the Joaquín Rivero Collection of Spanish painting. It's a hidden gem that art lovers and curious travelers alike can explore.

The Joaquín Rivero Collection is a true treasure trove in Andalusia. It showcases over 300 remarkable works by the great masters of Spanish painting, spanning from the 15th to the 19th centuries. This private art collection vividly captures the evolution of Spanish art history. You'll find paintings by iconic artists such as Zurbarán, Velázquez, and Goya. Their works, along with those of Hiepes, Labrador, Valdés Leal, Maella, Lucas Velázquez, Madrazo, Lucas Villamil, Carlos de Haes, and many others, offer an immersive journey through Spain's rich cultural past.

As you stroll through the gallery, each painting tells a story, reflecting the artistic movements and the vibrant history of Spain. The collection is a testament to the country's artistic legacy, allowing visitors to connect with the past in a deeply personal way. Plus, the setting itself is part of the charm. Nestled in the heart of Jerez, the winery's rustic architecture adds an extra layer of authenticity to the experience. Make sure to savor the local sherry while you're there; it pairs perfectly with the artistic feast.
