La Rioja A Journey Through Vineyards and Tradition
Overview
Start your day with us on a fascinating journey to the heart of La Rioja, the most famous wine region in Spain, where you will be amazed by a sea of vineyards that stretches as far as the eye can see. Along the way, we invite you to discover the rich wine history of the area.
Our first stop will be a unique winery of spectacular vineyards where you will immerse yourself in the process of making wine. And of course, you will enjoy an exquisite tasting of its best wines.
Our trip continue with a visit to a traditional winery, excavated under the streets of the village that offers us a unique experience.
Finally, we will visit Laguardia. This charming walled town in the Rioja Alavesa, preserves one of the most impressive architectural ensembles in the region. In this tour, you will move to medieval times as you walk through its narrow streets that tell stories of yesteryear.
