In Aragon, every corner holds a secret and every landscape tells a story. The region has established itself as an essential destination for those seeking a complete tourist experience. From the majesty of the Pyrenees to the serenity of its vineyards and the charm of its medieval villages, Aragon invites you to discover, feel and connect with its rich cultural and natural heritage. It is not just a place, it is a journey that remains engraved in your memory.
Among its many offerings, Aragon is also a benchmark in experiential tourism. It is no longer just about seeing, but about living. Flying in a paramotor (an aircraft with a paraglider) at dawn, getting lost among historic vineyards or tasting high-end wines surrounded by unique landscapes are experiences that elevate any visit. In this context, VolanDO Sommos has managed to win the title of Best Tourist Experience in Aragon 2024, demonstrating that Aragonese tourism continues to innovate and offer unique proposals for the demanding visitor.
AN EXPERIENCE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH
The VolanDO Sommos experience combines the best of wine tourism and aerial adventure, creating an unrivalled package for lovers of luxury and nature. It all begins with a spectacular hot air balloon flight that allows you to contemplate the beauty of Somontano from above. This flight, which takes place at dawn, offers panoramic views of vineyards, mountains and plains that seem straight out of a painting. The silence of the sky, broken only by the occasional whisper of the wind, makes this moment magical.
After landing, the experience continues at Bodega Sommos, a benchmark in wine tourism in the region . Visitors are welcomed with a guided tour of the modern facilities of this winery, where contemporary architecture blends with the surrounding landscape. Here, participants have the opportunity to taste some of the best wines of Somontano, paired with local products. The experience not only connects with the environment, but also celebrates the wine richness of Aragon.
This award not only highlights the quality of the experience offered by VolanDO Sommos, but also the region’s efforts to position itself as a top-level tourist destination. In a market where differentiation is key, this proposal stands out for its ability to excite and surprise.
