This is a unique opportunity to savor authentic Riojan cuisine in a charming, rustic setting surrounded by nature.

Step Back in Time Amidst Vineyards and Stone Walls

Depending on the location of the final winery visited during the tour, we will explore one of the many charming medieval villages that Rioja has to offer. To ensure a smooth and efficient route, minimizing driving time, the village chosen will be one that makes the most geographical sense — typically Laguardia, Briones, or Labastida. Capture external views and photo opportunities of iconic architecture wineries such as Marques del Riscal and Ysios.

  • Wander through narrow cobbled streets lined with historic stone houses.
