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 visit will highlight cellars that have their own vineyard and produce their wine exclusively with grapes from specific plots

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
