The monastery of Santa María la Real de Irache (English Monasterio de Santa María la Real de Irache), short form monastery Irache is a former Benedictine monastery near the town of Estella in the northern English province of Navarra. It is located on the Camino Francés and the pilgrimage in the Middle Ages an important pilgrim hostel.
Right next to the monastery buildings, the Bodegas Irache. The former convent winery with reference to the tradition of Benedictine hospitality, which will continue to install in this place a "Fuente del Vino", a "wine fountain." [5] He is also known as "Fuente de Irache" and is German-language publications in some cases as an "Wine source". The "Wine Well" are two mounted over a basin taps - a tap, one for red wine - in which particularly the traditional pilgrimage on foot, should be able to strengthen horse or bicycle for free with drinking water or a sip of wine from Irache and refresh.
The winery is for this purpose, daily 70 liters of red wine available and asks for moderate consumption, yet go empty-handed on summer days and on weekend afternoons many pilgrims. The company Bodegas Irache was known not least through its "Wine Well", which is beyond the friendly gesture probably one of the most effective marketing tools along the English Camino.
