Highlights
  • Haro - The Barrio de la Estación de Haro is known for the many wineries that were built here, close to the railroad tracks in order to transport wine barrels more easily. Here we’ll visit a wonderful 100-year old winery where we’ll taste a selection of its best wines, from the most classic to the most young and daring, aligned with the latest and most revolutionary trends. Wine is not the only magical liquid that’s produced in these lands. As Rioja is also one of the northernmost points in Spain where the country’s liquid gold (olive oil) is produced, we’ll do a tasting of a delicious extra virgin olive oil (here we call it AOVE, the acronym for aceite de oliva virgen extra in Spanish).

Additional Information

Small towns and vineyards. Vineyards and small towns. It’s all about exploring the former and savoring the latter. We have a mixed bunch: ancient towns fortified with walls, audacious and youthful wines, Spain’s longest river, and a traditional Riojan feast consisting of four courses each paired with a regional wine. A plan of this nature is simply flawless.

Amazing Rioja tour with a terrific guide and company! - What a wonderful organization - so helpful and professional! Mark was our guide and did such a terrific job sharing his knowledge of the Basque Region and it's history. An extra bonus was his love of his job. He was so enthusiastic, had a lovely sense of humour and a great relationship with the various people we met on our tour. The countryside was spectacular, and each winery had something special to enjoy. We enjoyed the wine tastings so much that we requested wines from these vineyards at other restaurants during our stay - and very successfully! The highlight was a delicious multi-course lunch offering such great food from the region. Mark also had some really great recommendations for the rest of our visit in San Sebastian. This was a terrific way to get familiar with the countryside, and Basque food and wine - and Mark was a stellar guide. We loved our tour!
