What to expect
Your driver collects you from your hotel and drives you into La Rioja's vineyard landscape. At each winery, a specialist guides you through barrel rooms and production areas, explaining soil composition and fermentation methods before pouring tastings. You'll compare several wines and learn why Bordeaux producers chose this region in the 1800s. In Laguardia, you wander stone-paved streets lined with historic buildings, then sit down to eat pintxos—small Basque bites—matched with three wines. The entire experience runs seven hours including travel time.
