Rioja wine tour: winery and traditional lunch from San Sebastian
Overview
Treat yourself to a tailor-made day of wine tourism with our private La Rioja winery tour from San Sebastian, enjoying century-old vineyards, medieval villages, and local cuisine at a relaxed pace.
Visit family-run wineries to walk among the vines, learn the terroir, harvest rhythms, and the process from grape to barrel, followed by a guided tasting revealing notes of red fruit, vanilla, and spice.
The experience continues with a four-course Riojan lunch: blood sausage, piquillo peppers and guindillas, Rioja-style beans and potatoes with chorizo, wood-fired lamb chops with salad, and Goxua, paired with local wines.
Your guide will share stories of historic wine presses and underground cellars, and the skyline of Laguardia provides a scenic finale.
