Heldagssmagning af det ukendte Rioja-vinområde





Beskrivelse
Bliv klogere på Rioja-terroiret, fra klassiske Rioja-vine til nye trends, mens du nyder en drikkerejse fuld af farver og vinmarker undervejs hele dagen. DENNE OPLEVELSE ER UNIK, fordi vi lægger vægt på at møde "terroiret", de ydmyge hårdtarbejdende mennesker, der brænder for det, de laver. Vi besøger meget små vingårde, fra rustikke vingårde med middelalderkældre til nyere og sofistikerede. Du besøger ikke kun tjenere i en vinbar, du vil møde de lokale, avleren eller vinmageren, og du vil se den glimt i deres øjne, der forråder den passion og magi, der får dem til at nyde hvert øjeblik af deres job. Vinlagringssystemet er blevet revolutioneret (tilbage til fortiden), og i dag lagres vin ikke kun på egetræs, rustfrit stål eller betonfade. Med din ekspertguide får du chancen for at købe flere vine lagret i ler-, keramik- eller cementæg.

Rejseplan
Det vil være en fornøjelse at hente dig på dit hotel i San Sebastian (giv os venligst besked, hvis du bor i en anden by) med mit airconditionerede og opvarmede køretøj. Du vil nyde en behagelig 90 minutters kørsel til Rioja vinregion, og du vil være i stand til at se, hvordan landskabet vil ændre sig lidt efter lidt.
Smagning af 5 vine og lokal olivenolie: Hos Gomez Cruzado vil du smage nogle klassiske og nye tendenser fra Riojan-vine. 5 vinsmagning inkluderet og mulighed for at sende deres nogle eksklusive vine hjem. Haro, en af de første byer med elektricitet i Spanien på grund af vinproduktionen. Vi går forbi dette dejlige kvarter og beundrer arkitekturen i de klassiske og ældste vingårde. [Turen kan skræddersyes, der er altid mulighed for at besøge en anden af de klassiske Rioja vingårde, kontakt os].
Smag på deres 3 gode vine, Crianza, Reserva og en Gran Reserva (hvide tilgængelige for hvide elskere) og nogle lokale Riojan appetit.
Lad os nyde udsigten fra vores hemmelige udsigtspunkt blandt vinmarkerne og beundre den innovative og avantgarde-arkitektur på vingården Marqués de Riscal designet af den berømte canadiske arkitekt Frank O. Gehry, som skabte et værk, som, selv om det er fuldt af former, er i perfekt harmoni med landskabet i området. Marqués de Riscal er en af de ældste vingårde i Rioja siden 1858. THE MARQUIS var en af de første personer og vingårde i Rioja, der lagrede vin på egetræsfade i slutningen af det XIX århundrede. [Turen er skræddersyet, der er altid mulighed for at besøge en af de klassiske Rioja vingårde].
Vi stopper foran denne unikke boutique-vingård for at beundre den moderne arkitektur designet af den berømte Santiago Calatrava omgivet af de dramatiske omgivelser i Sierra de Cantabria.
Kort opdagelsesbesøg og senere smagning af 3 vine inkluderet i en underjordisk vingrotte. Nogle af de unikke Bodegaer lagrer stadig deres vine i undergrunden af middelalderlandsbyen Laguardia på traditionel vis. Det er en unik oplevelse at opdage de underjordiske vinkældre og smage deres vine.
Frokost i en lokal restaurant og en kort gåtur i byen. Den middelalderlige by Laguardia, som ligger på toppen af en bakke, er hovedstaden i Rioja Alavesa vinregion og en af de smukkeste landsbyer i Spanien. Det blev grundlagt i det 10. århundrede som et forsvar for Kongeriget Navarra og bevarer næsten intakt dets middelalderlige layout. Der venter de befæstede kirker San Juan Bautista og Santa María de los Reyes. Byen holder på mange hemmeligheder og er fuldstændig fodgængere, fordi der under jorden er mere end 300 tunneller gravet for hundreder af år siden. Vi vil forklare dig oprindelsen og brugen, der gives til dem i dag.

We enjoyed a private Rioja wine tour with the amazing John. His knowledge of the area was impressive which gave us an educational and also really fun day out! We stopped for a 3 course lunch at a local restaurant which did not disappoint. John also tailored the end of our day to our personal requirements which made the whole experience 10/10. We will be recommending John & earra tours to everyone! Thank you x
Dear Sarah and friends from London, it was a pleasure to guide you in Rioja, learning about the Region and its wines, but also about having fun and relaxing. Thank you for trusting our services and hope to see you again soon. Best regards guapas! Jon Gurrea & Earra Tours Team
We had a wonderful time. Gorka picked us up from our hotel and drove us about 1.5 hours to Haro. Along the way, he shared some history of the Basque region with us. He also was kind enough to stop at gas station so my husband could get a cup of coffee. Once in Haro, we sampled 9 different wine varieties between the two wineries. We also had the opportunity to sample some delicious olive oil at Gomez Cruzado along with our wine. After leaving Haro, we continued on to Laguardia. It’s an adorable medieval town. We sampled three wines in a wine cave at Vinasperi before heading to lunch. My husband and I both had potato soup. He had lamb chops and I had steak. For dessert, we had ice cream and cheesecake. It was all delicious. After lunch, we briefly walked the town but unfortunately, due to rain we didn’t spend much time there. This tour was a lot of fun and Gorka helped make it a memorable experience.
Wow Stacy!! thank you very much for your glowing words. Our goal is to create the most memorable experiences so very happy for your experience. Best regards!!! Jon Gurrea & Earra Tours Team
Gorka was an exceptional guide and extremely knowledgeable. We learned much more than expected on our full day Rioja trip, tasted great and unique wines and even tasted in a 600 year old underground cave. Very highly recommended.
Jon with Earra Tours gave my fiancée and I a private winery tour where I proposed! Jon was amazing and helped make the day perfect! Did the pintxos food tour with Darya the next day and she was amazing and so knowledgeable! It was so fun! Now doing a winery trail with Earra again this weekend! Earra is literally single handedly making our trip unforgettable!
Dear Zack and Lena, what can I say. It was great to be able to plan this for 2 months and to see everything was amazing and perfect. Thank you for trusting us and we hope to be able to celebrate the anniversary of the proposal. Earra! Jon Gurrea & Earra Tours Team
We had an amazing all day tour with Jon! It was fun getting to know him and we had a great time going to the wineries and having a delicious local lunch together. We HIGHLY recommend this tour!
Dear Arthur, thank you so much for your kind words. It was fantastic to have you Marcia and you on our Rioja Wineries Tour and we are glad to see you had a blast. Thank you so much and we hope to see you again for more adventures!!! Best regards, Jon Gurrea & Earra Tours Team
We recently took the ‘Private Tour Full Day Tasting The Unknown Rioja Wine Region, ' which was an unforgettable experience thanks to our guide, Telmo. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the wines and history of the region, but he’s also incredibly friendly, making our day both educational and enjoyable. Our visits included Bodegas Muga, Bodega Gomez Crusado, and Bodega Carlos San Pedro, each offering a unique insight into the wine-making process and some truly exquisite wines. Telmo’s expertise in wine was evident as he provided detailed descriptions of each wine we tasted and shared fascinating anecdotes about the wineries. In addition to the wineries, we explored the charming town of LaGuardia, walking through its quaint streets filled with history. Telmo’s familiarity with LaGuardia enriched our visit, as he pointed out hidden details and historical tidbits that we would have surely missed on our own. If you’re looking to explore Rioja beyond the usual tourist paths and truly understand the culture and sophistication of its wines, this tour is a must. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves wine.
Hello Jay , we greatly appreciate your wonderful review! It’s fantastic to know you enjoyed our Rioja Boutique wine tour and found our guide Telmo to be passionate and authentic. Your total satisfaction is our priority. Warm regards, Jon Gurrea & the Earra Tours Team
This is my second tour with Jon in 7 months. And let me just say he continues to be the best! Jon and Telmo not only have the knowledge but the pride of being Basque that shows in their tour! They both were extremely knowledgeable not only about the wine but the history of the region. My dad and I had the best time with them. And the wine selection was absolutely amazing! I would 10/10 recommend a tour with Earra! I cannot wait to come back and do another!
Dear Kristen, I love you both. It was an amazing pleasure to meet your dad Bob and see you again. Great to see you having a great time in Rioja tasting some of the best wines and enjoying every moment. Thank you for coming back to us and for those amazing words, and I hope to see you again. Take care! EARRA! Jon Gurrea & Earra Tours Team
From the moment Jon from Earra Tours picked us up in San Sebastian, we knew we were in great hands. He was personable, funny, knowledgeable, and we immediately felt as if we were touring with a good friend. Jon was able to swap out one of his usual spots for a visit to the Muga winery, a personal curiosity for us, as we love some of their wines. Every stop was a learning experience and a feast for the senses. Highly recommended for those interested in Rioja, wine making, history, and a fun time.

Jon our tour guide was knowledgeable and all-around earra (awesome)!!! He took us to three very different wineries, which gave us a great feel for the region. We took home tons of wine to share with friends and family back home. Also, the restaurant Jon took us to for lunch was absolutely delicious. Great tour for anyone looking to expand their regional knowledge and taste some great Rioja wines.
Dear Clara, thank you for such a great review. It was a great pleasure to have you visiting our Region and we love you enjoyed in Rioja, one of our best seller tour. Hope to see you next time to discover more places together. Take care meanwhile, Jon Gurrea & Earra Tours Team
Jon goes above and beyond to make sure that you are happy with your La Rioja wine tasting experience. We corresponded through many emails in the months before going through every detail from what kind of wine I like to any add ons to the experience like food or what types of stops you would want to see. I was truly impressed with how much care he took. You really just need to tell him what you want and he will design the perfect day in La Rioja for you. Also a big bonus is that he likes to take photos and is very good at it. We also attended his pintxos tour which was such a blast. I definitely recommend using Earras tours for any tours they offer.
Wow Tasia! Thank you for your amazing words! I really enjoyed preparing this tour for Alejandro and you. As you can see everything is possible in Rioja and there is so much to do. Hope to have you again discovering another layer of this amazing country. Best regards, Jon Gurrea & Earra Tours Team
