Iniesta at his winery in Spain

Iniesta's father, Jose Antonio owned a vineyard since the 1990s but it wasn't until much later that he and his son started making wine on a commercial scale. The construction of their first winery was completed in 2010 and Bodega Iniesta was open for business. Located in the Manchuela region near the Mediterranean coast, Iniesta even used the money from his first professional contract to buy more land for his dad.

At present, his winery is the largest producer of bottled wine in the region and hopes to launch his brand in the United Kingdom. While it’s a much more competitive market there, he already has Gary Neville’s word to include Bodega Iniesta wines in his restaurant, Georges menu. And for all you really crazy Iniesta fans, you can even go stay in his vineyard at just Rs. 7241 per night through Airbnb.
