Rioja Wine Route with winery owner

About this tour

Spend 6–7 hours touring three Rioja wineries with the owner of La Bodega del Tesoro, a heritage bodega dating to 1881. You'll travel through the region's vineyards in an air-conditioned vehicle, taste wines at each stop, and finish with a traditional meal in the 1881 winery itself. Groups are kept small—no more than eight—so you get genuine conversation and insight into how Rioja's terroir shapes its wines.

Highlights

• Taste wines at three separate Rioja bodegas
• Guided by a winery owner, not a generic sommelier
• Explore vineyards and learn Rioja's landscape
• Lunch in a heritage winery from 1881
• Small groups, air-conditioned transport
• Suitable for all fitness levels and ages

What to expect

You'll spend the morning and early afternoon moving between three wineries, stopping to walk the vineyards and understand how geography influences the wines you're tasting. Each bodega offers a different perspective—whether old-school or contemporary methods. At each tasting, you'll sample their selections paired with local knowledge. The day climaxes at La Bodega del Tesoro, where you'll sit down to traditional Spanish food in the winery itself, surrounded by over a century of history. Expect to taste perhaps 8–10 wines across the day, so pace yourself. The owner will share stories about their own operation and the region's character.
