Treat yourself to a day of wine tourism with this wine tour to La Rioja from San Sebastián, a sensory experience across century-old vineyards, medieval towns, and traditional cuisine.
Begin with a visit to family-run wineries in Rioja Alavesa, where you will walk among vine rows and vineyards, discover Rioja’s terroir, learn about harvest timings, and follow each stage of production, from grape selection to barrel ageing. You'll then enjoy a guided wine tasting where notes of red fruit, vanilla, and spices emerge in the great whites and reds of the D.O.C.a Rioja.
The journey continues with a four-course Riojan lunch with dessert paired with local wines, while your guide shares stories of press houses, underground cellars, and customs that define the identity of this land. Afterwards, the unhurried pace and endless vistas of Laguardia and its viewpoints provide the perfect finale.
With hotel pick-up and drop-off in Donostia, private air-conditioned transport, expert accompaniment, and an unhurried rhythm, this Rioja wine tour is an ideal experience for those who want to delve into wine culture without worrying about logistics.
