Overview
Enjoy a premium day with our 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, a setting of cobbled streets, sweeping vineyard viewpoints, and underground cellars, where you’ll 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 an expert to relish this wine tour: just the desire to discover unique landscapes, learn from the people behind each bottle, and raise a glass to the best of Rioja wine on a comfortable, intimate, and adaptable day. With a small group and options suitable for solo travellers.
