Private Day in Rioja from San Sebastian
Overview
Enjoy a relaxed private day in Rioja designed to help you truly understand the region, from funky modern wineries to classic styles and long-established traditions. With 3 wineries: one guided winery visit and two guided tastings, this experience offers time to learn, taste, and ask questions at an easy pace. Along the way, your local guide shares the stories behind Rioja’s history, labels, styles, and how the region is changing today—without lectures or jargon. The approach is personal and informal, the wines are carefully chosen, and the focus is on clarity, enjoyment, and quality. You’ll leave not only having tasted great wines, but with a clear sense of what Rioja is, where it comes from, and where it’s heading.
