Enjoy a premium day out with this wine-tasting tour from Bilbao to La Rioja, designed to savour Rioja wines at their source and understand why this land, cultivated since Roman times, is a byword for excellence.
Accompanied by an expert local guide and with private, air-conditioned transport and hotel pick-up, you'll visit two very different wineries, one small and one mid-sized, to compare traditional methods and modern innovations in vineyard and cellar. Stroll among barrels, and learn to read the terroir before a guided wine tasting where you'll identify notes of red fruit, vanilla, and spices that define Rioja crianzas and reservas.
The experience continues in the medieval town of Laguardia, known for its cobbled streets, sweeping vineyard viewpoints, and underground cellars, where youâll enjoy a light pintxos lunch paired with local wines and receive personalised recommendations to keep exploring the wine route.
You don't need to be a wine expert to relish this tour: just bring a desire to discover unique landscapes, learn from the people behind each bottle, and raise a glass to the best of Rioja wines on a comfortable, intimate, and flexible day out, with a small group and options suitable for solo travellers.
