Overview

  • Discover the spectacular wineries of Rioja, just 90 minutes from Bilbao, on a small-group tour combining extraordinary architecture, exceptional wines, and delicious local cuisine.

    We will begin at Marqués de Riscal, designed by legendary architect Frank Gehry and named the world's best vineyard in 2024. Enjoy a full winery tour and taste three of its excellent wines.

    Next is Ysios, world's third-best vineyard in 2025. Designed by famous architect Santiago Calatrava (Oculus, New York City), this is a stunning winery!

    At Ysios, you'll have time to admire the architecture and enjoy two premium wines, including an exclusive Viñedo Singular, Rioja's highest wine quality designation.

    We'll also explore the beautiful medieval town of Laguardia.

    Finally you will enjoy a delicious, traditional three-course restaurant lunch with wine and dessert. Forget quick pintxos lunches.

    With outstanding wines, remarkable architecture, and a relaxed pace, this is a Rioja experience to savor.
