To this end, a conceptual model is proposed based on the literaturereview carried out and contrasted through structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) with data from263 wineries, which in turn represent the population under study. The study results allow for us toempirically demonstrate the positive and significant relationship of wine tourism on performance, aswell as the partial mediation of ecological agriculture in this relationship. The study thus contributesto the academic literature in a remarkable way given that, to our knowledge, there are no previousstudies that have addressed the mediating role of ecological agriculture in the wine tourism–economicperformance link. However, the research also suffers from certain limitations. In particular, given therelevance of the study, it is necessary to broaden its geographical scope so that, as a future line ofresearch, it is proposed to contextualize the model proposed in the California wine industry, beingable to subsequently establish similarities and differences in the Old and New World.
