About this tour
Spend nine hours exploring Rioja's wine country in a private vehicle from San Sebastian. Visit three distinct wineries—ranging from storied estates to intimate family operations—tasting 6–12 wines across the day. Lunch at a local restaurant pairs a three-course meal with wine before you wander the medieval streets of Laguardia, a walled town that feels lifted from centuries past.
Highlights
- Three wineries from classical to small family-run producers
- 9–12 wines tasted across morning and afternoon sessions
- Three-course lunch with paired wines included
- Medieval town of Laguardia with ancient walls and cobbled streets
- Private transport, water, and snacks throughout the day
- Local recommendations beyond famous commercial labels
What to expect
Your driver collects you in an air-conditioned vehicle and heads into Rioja proper. At each of the three wineries, you'll taste wines in their bars or tasting rooms—expect to spend roughly an hour at each stop, learning what sets their house style apart. Midday you'll eat at a restaurant where food and wine work in tandem. Afterwards, you'll have time to explore Laguardia on foot; the town's tight medieval layout rewards slow wandering. By late afternoon you'll head back to San Sebastian.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes for Laguardia's uneven cobbles. The nine-hour duration includes drive time from San Sebastian. Specialised infant seats available; not suited to pregnant travellers. The itinerary suits all fitness levels but involves modest walking.
