Valencia is a province in the centre of Spain's sunny east coast, perhaps better known for its oranges (and paella) than its wine.

Archaeological evidence suggests that wine making in Valencia dates back more than a thousand years, but the region has never been particularly prominent on the world wine map. In modern times, Valencia's wine production has focused on quantity rather than quality, although this is gradually changing.
