Logroño does not offer the ultimate wine country experience in Rioja (for that we would recommend you opt for some of the smaller villages not far from the Riojan Capital) but Logroño does offer for sure a fantastic gastronomic experience… We soon will be publishing a post with some recommendations for tapas and pintxos in Logroño. IN the mean time, you can also find information to build your holiday in Rioja in our section with ideas for a wine route in the region. The Rioja tourism website is also a good source of information to learn about things going on. This website only covers the Riojan region… you may also want to have a look at the website with information on Rioja Alavesa (since the Rioja wine producing region is divided into 3 administrative entities -the 3rd one being Navarre) it is sometimes difficult to gather all the necessary information on one single site.

Remember also that we can help you build your wine holiday in Rioja.
