About this tour
Spend nine hours exploring Spain's premier wine region on this guided circuit through La Rioja. You'll visit two contrasting wineries—one showcasing vineyard vistas and production methods, the other a historic underground cellar carved beneath a village—before wandering the medieval lanes of Laguardia, a walled town brimming with architectural heritage. Two wine tastings and a local guide in English or Spanish are included; lunch in the village is your own affair.

What to expect
The day begins with a drive into La Rioja's wine country, where vast vineyard blocks dominate the landscape. Your first winery stop includes a walkthrough of production areas and your initial tasting of regional wines. The second venue shifts the experience underground—you'll descend into subterranean cellars built into the village bedrock, a cooler and more atmospheric setting for the second tasting. Afterwards, you'll have several hours in Laguardia to stroll its compact medieval quarter, duck into shops, and grab lunch at one of the local restaurants (at your own cost). The group moves at a steady pace; stragglers won't be waited for.
