Highlights
Outing Highlights
Personalized wine tastings across 2–3 wineries
The tour is a private, customized experience that includes tastings at two to three wineries—starting with a morning tasting to ‘warm up’ and the option to add more—so you sample a range of Rioja styles from larger houses to tiny producers.
Modern landmarks and historic cellars
Along the route the itinerary highlights notable buildings such as Ysios and Marqués de Riscal—architecture you can view and, if you wish, taste from their ranges—balanced by visits to intimate underground cellars.
From large producers to small, family-run bodegas
The operator aims to show the ‘real Rioja’: big companies that produce millions of bottles and tiny wineries run by lifelong friends, giving a broad perspective on winemaking approaches in the region.
