Stop #1 - First winery stop
Guided visit to a centuries old, family-owned winery. Walking through the vaulted underground corridors and staircases, you find yourself traveling back in time. Explanations about the wine-making process and the Rioja wine region. 3 excellent wines are tasted and paired with small tapas. All 3 wines from very old vineyards that belong to the family.
Stop #2 - Second winery stop
Our next stop will be at the Barrio de la Estacion in Haro at an iconic winery in Rioja. A winery that combines tradition with modern techonologies. Excellent wine!
Stop #3 - Third winery
Our next stop will introduce you to very high end wine, but totally different from what you have tasted before this day. Decisive notes of red and black fruits and a perfect balance between oak and fruit define the style of these wines.

Reviews

"I wanted to thank you for your help in planning the tour of La Rioja. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had in my life. Not only because of the beautiful landscapes and the selection of wineries; for the fun, helpful and informed of all about wine that was our tour guide. Thanks to Luis and his creativity we were sure to enjoy all the best of La Rioja in a day; I was able to take excellent photos, enjoy a variety of wines and winery styles and most of all enjoy a day that surpassed all my expectations. (It took more than 6 months planning this vacation so the truth is that they were high) I also want to mention that each representative of the wineries and the restaurant treated us like family. They were friendly and entertaining. Lunch at the castle was delicious... super delicious! As you can see I cannot stop saying good things about the tour."

Yadira (Miami, USA)
My husband and I had a wonderful time on the Rioja wine tour. We did the Classics tour. Yara gave us an amazing private tour. I would highly recommend them. Yara was very knowledgeable and provided us a lot of education about Rioja wines and we learned a lot about our individual taste in wine as well. Inma was able to cater our private tour to our preferred tastes.

This private tour was the highlight of our trip to Spain. Diego was amazing and we felt like family. We´ve enjoyed many wine tours in Napa, Italy or France… Yours was simply amazing. We would not change anything. Thank you so much for such an amazing day. Gracias!
