The objective of this research is to analyze the link between wine tourism, winery restaurant activity, circular economy practices, and sustainable performance in the Spanish wine context. In order to contrast the propositions put forward in the study, the single case method is employed. The results of the research show that wine tourism has a positive influence on the sustainable performance of the winery examined, with circular economy practices and hospitality activities moderating and mediating this link, respectively. The research may be useful, therefore, both for wine professionals who are considering developing and/or intensifying wine tourism in their wineries, as well as for academics who wish to delve deeper into the catalytic effects of this type of tourism.
