Tour description
This wine and vineyard tour in Rioja is perfect for lovers of single-vineyard wines and people who are fascinated by the vineyard and its growing process. You will visit 3 of the region’s best vineyards that pride themselves in producing their own unique wine that you will taste as you learn about the region and what makes their grapes one of a kind. Traditionally in La Rioja, cellars and vineyards are separate properties and wine is usually produced with grapes from several different plots. This tour will highlight cellars that have their own vineyard and produce their wine exclusively with grapes from specific plots.
La Rioja’s diverse terroirs offer a fascinating journey into the essence of this concept. For this experience, we have carefully selected wineries, vineyards, and producers who best embody the spirit of terroir wines. While Rioja’s tradition often blends grapes from different plots, these cellars focus on their own vineyards, allowing each wine to reflect the unique character of its land. The result is an authentic connection between the vineyard and the glass, where every sip tells the story of its origin
Rioja wine country is located between 2 mountain ranges: Sierra de Cantabria to the North and Sierra de la Demanda to the south. This creates a unique and beautiful backdrop for your visit
- This tour focuses on the outstanding quality of these single-vineyard wines
- A wine expert and passionate guide with deep knowledge of the Rioja region and local culture
- You will also indulge in a delicious picnic-style meal with traditional, high-quality products, all enjoyed in a one-of-a-kind environment
- Excellent wine selection featuring some unique varieties that cannot be found anywhere else and wines difficult to find abroad
- To make sure you “feel” the terroir, this tour also includes a 4×4 drive across vineyards! We are sure you will love it!
