About this experience

This tour is perfect if you like wine and want to learn about Rioja wines while tasting them (of course, you will taste many different wines).

We organize all the tour in a private way and without a fixed plan, so we love customizing this tour depending on your interests, showing you the area and taking you to the most interesting wineries in Rioja. We propose 2-3 of them, and it will be up to you which ones to visit; however we will depend on their visiting schedules to organize it. In fact, if you are very interested in visiting a specific winery, let us know and we will organize the tour to do it.

Are you ready for tasting some of the best Rioja Wines? Do you want to come?

Contact us for more information, or even if you choose to visit our local Navarran Wines, which are not so known but they will delight you!!! ;)
