Immersed in beautiful scenery that speaks of the history of the land, Caserío Rural de Sisternas will whisk you back in time on a discovery of rural life.

 

Caserío Rural de Sisternas is located in the small hamlet of Casa de Cuadra in the municipality of Requena. Comprising a handful of old farmhouses, the caserío dates back to the 19th century when it was built by the Cabilderos family. This part of the Region of Valencia has strong ties with the winemaking tradition and as such, in the 20th century, a winery was added to the complex.  
Sitting in the midst of bobal vines, Caserío de Sisternas now houses an ethnographic museum. Museo de Sisternas extends through the different spaces of the caserío, namely the warehouse, winery, house, dining room, farmyard, stable, storage rooms, oven and the slaughterhouse. 

As you make your way through the spaces, you will see old tractors, motorbikes, bicycles, utensils historically used to make wine, home furniture, agricultural tools, horse carriages and much more. You can also explore the underground cellar and discover how bread was made in the Moorish oven. 

Dedicated to rural life in the past, Caserío Rural de Sisternas is a place where time has stood still. Beyond seeing how people used to live, the museum also offers a number of activities for all the family. Children will love taking part in the harvest, planting trees and kneading bread dough while you will enjoy the tasting sessions and almuerzos (brunches) showcasing the tasty products from the local area. This rural life and wine museum in Requena makes a beautiful backdrop for weddings, presentations, and photo and video shoots. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit next time you’re in Requena.
