If you are looking for a comfortable, authentic, and enriching wine tour with local character and a friendly atmosphere, this getaway from Bilbao takes you to the heart of Rioja wine country. It blends landscapes, history, and gastronomy at an unhurried pace.
After a scenic drive, you’ll reach Rioja Alavesa, where walled villages and vine-covered hills create a perfect mosaic for understanding the territory.
We will visit a mid-sized winery , ideal for learning without crowds—and discover, step by step, how grapes are transformed into great wines: vineyard work, fermentation, ageing, and refinement in barrel.
The experience includes a guided wine tasting of D.O.Ca. wines to help you identify aromatic profiles, styles, and pairings, and continues with a four-course Riojan lunch with dessert.
With a Bilbao wine tour and lunch wrapped into the same day, comfortable transport, and a guide who knows the area inside out, you’ll enjoy a full experience that balances oenological learning and culinary pleasure. Perfect for those who want to take away more than a photo: the authentic flavour of La Rioja in both memory and palate.
