THE HERITAGE

A 19th‑century cellar frozen in time

La Bodega del Tesoro dates to 1881 and was closed for three decades before becoming the focus of this guided visit; the building itself and its historic calados are central to the discovery.

THE TASTING

Three wines, picoteo and a traditional meal

The experience includes a structured tasting of three wines accompanied by a picoteo (aperitivo) and a traditional food/dinner tasting—an immersive way to appreciate Rioja flavors.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Discover the hidden values of the barrio de bodegas

Beyond the cellar itself, the visit emphasizes the often-overlooked values and stories of the local wine‑cellar neighborhoods that shaped Rioja’s wine culture.
