Cheste’s economy is driven by a combination of agriculture, tourism, and motorsports. The town has a long-standing tradition of viticulture, producing high-quality wines that are sold both locally and internationally. Olive groves and citrus orchards also contribute to the local economy, with much of the produce exported to other parts of Spain and Europe.
Tourism has become increasingly important, thanks to the Ricardo Tormo Circuit, which brings in visitors from around the world for motorsports events. The town’s proximity to Valencia City also makes it a popular stop for tourists seeking a more rural experience. Additionally, the local wine industry plays a key role in agritourism, with many visitors coming to tour the vineyards and sample the region’s renowned wines.
Local crafts, particularly ceramics and textiles, are also significant, with small businesses producing goods that reflect the traditional Valencian craftsmanship.
