Privater Tag in Rioja von San Sebastian
Beschreibung
Genießen Sie einen entspannten privaten Tag in Rioja, der Ihnen hilft, die Region wirklich zu verstehen, von funky modernen Weingütern bis hin zu klassischen Stilen und alteingesessenen Traditionen. Mit 3 Weingütern : einem geführten Weingutbesuch und zwei geführten Verkostungen bietet dieses Erlebnis Zeit, um in einem einfachen Tempo zu lernen, zu probieren und Fragen zu stellen. Unterwegs teilt Ihr Ortskundiger Reiseleiter die Geschichten hinter Riojas Geschichte, Labels, Stilen und wie sich die Region heute verändert – ohne Vorträge oder Jargon. Die Herangehensweise ist persönlich und informell, die Weine werden sorgfältig ausgewählt und der Fokus liegt auf Klarheit, Genuss und Qualität. Sie werden nicht nur großartige Weine probiert haben, sondern auch ein klares Gefühl dafür haben, was Rioja ist, woher sie kommt und wohin sie führt.

Reiseverlauf
Wir beginnen den Tag in Briones, einer wunderschönen mittelalterlichen Stadt auf einem Hügel über den Weinbergen. Wenn wir durch die ruhigen Straßen spazieren und am Aussichtspunkt Rioja Halt machen, nehmen wir die Landschaft auf und sprechen darüber, was diese Region so besonders macht: die umliegenden Berge, das breite Tal darunter und die Schlüsselrolle des Flusses Ebro bei der Gestaltung des Klimas und der Weine Riojas. Es ist der perfekte Ort, um das große Ganze zu verstehen, bevor es in die Keller geht. Spaziergang · Keine Verkostung.
Unser nächster Halt ist Cenicero, wo wir ein kleines, einzigartiges modernes Weinprojekt besuchen, das in einem Weingut aus dem 15. Jahrhundert untergebracht ist. Hier erkunden Sie einen unterirdischen Keller und erfahren mehr über die lange Geschichte der Weinherstellung in Rioja und erfahren gleichzeitig, wie sich die Region heute entwickelt. Die Weine sind natürlich und ausdrucksstark, hergestellt aus Weinbergen mit über 100 Jahre alten Reben, gefolgt von einer geführten Verkostung, die Vergangenheit und Gegenwart im Glas verbindet. Geführte Weinkellereibesichtigung und Verkostung inklusive.
Rund um Villabuena de Álava besuchen wir ein Weingut in Familienbesitz, in dem Wein immer noch ein praktisches, persönliches Handwerk ist. Während einer geführten Verkostung lernen Sie, wie man Rioja-Etiketten liest, Klassifizierungen versteht und verschiedene Stile erkennt, während Sie Weine probieren, die sowohl Tradition als auch Alltag in Rioja widerspiegeln. Geführte Weinprobe inklusive.
Anschließend fahren wir in Haros berühmtes Barrio de la Estación, um ein klassisches Weingut zu besuchen, das Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts gegründet wurde. Hier verkosten Sie die traditionelle Rioja, die in amerikanischen Eichenfässern gereift ist, und erfahren, warum dieser Stil sowohl in Spanien als auch international so einflussreich wurde. Es ist ein Schlüsselkapitel, um zu verstehen, was „klassische Rioja“ wirklich bedeutet. Geführte Weinprobe inklusive.
Wir beenden den Tag in Labastida mit einem entspannten traditionellen Mittagessen in einem kleinen, familiengeliebten Restaurant, das von zwei Schwestern geführt wird und bei Einheimischen und Winzern aus den umliegenden Dörfern beliebt ist. Die Speisekarte konzentriert sich auf klassische Rioja-Gerichte aus lokalen Produkten, gepaart mit Dorfweinen. Es ist ein einfacher, authentischer Abschluss eines Tages des Lernens, Probierens und Konversierens.

We did a customized tour for our family of 11 to visit a few Rioja wineries and see some unique architecture in the area. Our guide, Malena, and driver picked us up promptly, and Malena used the drive time to give us an interesting history of the Basque region and culture. She is incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. The visits and lunch they arranged were excellent, and she was so patient an accomodating with our interests. We had three young boys along for the trip, and Malena made sure they were comfortable and entertained during the tastings. The entire experience, from communications during the booking months ago, through some modifications due to our schedule, and even some restaurant recommendations for the remainder of our trip, was all handled professionally. I would highly recommend using this group for anything in the region.
Start to finish - amazing experience. Lucia was so helpful with curating the perfect experiences by email, very patient and very helpful, even before we booked the tours. Great communication leading up to the tour as well. And finally our guide Luis was fantastic and would for sure recommend him for any group. We did both a San Sebastián old town pintxos walking tour and then also a day driving to Rioja to tour some wine houses and a bit of shopping. Luis was super friendly, relaxed, knowledgeable, kept us feeling safe, and just a cool guy to be around.
Best day of our trip — book Ikusnahi Tours My wife and I did the Rioja region tour with Ernes and it was the highlight of our time in the Basque Country. Wineries, olive oil tastings, beautiful landscapes and real local insight into the food and wine culture — all in one day. Ernes is a fantastic guide. Knowledgeable, warm and genuinely passionate about sharing his region. Not a single dull moment. Worth every penny. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful visit to Rioja with Malena! All of the wineries were outstanding, but also so different to give you a range of styles. The lunch was amazing - the food was delicious and Malena handled everything for us. It was a good mix of history/wine details and also just a fun conversation. Would highly recommend!
One of the joys of Rioja is discovering that no two wineries are ever quite the same. Each has its own story, style and personality, and we're so glad you enjoyed experiencing that variety throughout the day. It also sounds like you found the perfect balance between learning about the region and simply relaxing over great wine, food and conversation. Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing to explore Rioja with Malena. We hope it's a day you'll look back on every time you open a bottle of Rioja!
Luis picked us up in a brand new comfortable van and each winery was unique and timed perfectly. Pouring rain in San Sebastian but sunny and beautiful in the wine country!
Thank you so much for sharing this, Carl. We’re really happy you had such a smooth and enjoyable day with Luis, and that the Rioja part treated you to such great weather. Really appreciate your kind words.
Martin took us to a few smaller wineries where the wine makers went to the beat of their own drum. Truly special locations and amazing wines. Martin was an amazing host sharing his extensive knowledge of the basque region. We couldn't have asked for a better day.
What a lovely way to describe Rioja, Todd :) Those small independent wineries are exactly the soul of the region, people following their own path, making wines with character and a lot of heart. Martin will be very happy to hear you connected with both the wines and the stories behind them. We’re proud to share these lesser known corners of Rioja and the Basque Country with travelers who appreciate the real thing. Hope to see you back someday for another long lunch and a few more unforgettable glasses of wine!
Great organization with attention to detail and finding the right mix of activities to suit my needs. I am a sommelier from Italy and wanted to explore off the path wineries and learn about Rioja, while also accommodating a view of the region and food experiences. The team managed to create the perfect mix, they were friendly and super knowledgeable, overall a memorable experience 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
What a pleasure to read this. It’s really special for us to receive a sommelier and be part of your journey discovering Rioja in your own way. We’re very happy the mix of wineries, views and food experiences worked so well for you. Thanks a lot for your kind words.
If I could give this tour 10 stars, I would! We booked very last-minute, and Ernes at Ikusnahi Tours went above and beyond to make it happen for us. Our guide, Martin, was fantastic—friendly, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took us safely through the Rioja region while sharing fascinating insights about Basque culture and history. We left with a much deeper appreciation for the area. Each winery was unique and beautiful, with delicious wines, light snacks, and water provided (a must when starting early!). The hosts were informative and welcoming, and we learned a lot about winemaking and aging techniques. Lunch at a local restaurant was a highlight—honestly the best meal we’ve had in Basque Country, and we’ve eaten a lot of pintxos! The food, wine, and dessert were all incredible. From start to finish, this was hands down the best tour we’ve been on. If you're looking for amazing wine, authentic food, and a local, knowledgeable guide—book this tour. Eskerrik asko, Ernes & Martin!!
Wow… reviews like this really make our day :) We’re so happy we could make the last minute planning work and that Martin gave you such a memorable introduction to Rioja, Basque culture and all the stories behind the wines and landscapes. This is exactly the experience we hope to create, relaxed, authentic, full of great conversations, beautiful wineries and long meals that people still remember afterwards. Ernes and Martin will both be smiling reading this. Eskerrik asko for traveling with us and for appreciating this special corner of the world with so much enthusiasm!
Mark, our guide was excellent!!! He was knowledgeable and super friendly and immediately put us at ease. The tour itinerary was well planned out and well executed. We would highly recommend this tour!!!
So happy you enjoyed your Rioja day with Mark :) Great wine, beautiful scenery and easy conversation along the way is exactly how these experiences should feel. We’re really glad the itinerary, wineries and overall rhythm of the day made it such a memorable experience for you. Eskerrik asko for the recommendation!
This was a brilliant adventure. I had a spectacular time tasting amazing wines that I would never have gotten to taste without the wonderful help and guide from the Ikusnahi team. Two days of amazing unique wineries and spectacular tastings. It was amazing to learn about Rioja and the Basque region. Every part of the trip was perfectly run and I couldnt have asked for more. They also gave amazing suggestions for the rest of my trip. For anyone looking to do a tour, I could not recommend them more. They truly went over and beyond. Thank you!!!
This is exactly the kind of Rioja experience we love creating :) Unique wineries, wines you would never easily discover on your own, long tastings, local stories and feeling truly connected to the region instead of just passing through it. We’re so happy the two days felt personal, relaxed and full of special moments along the way. And honestly, helping people continue their journey after the tour with local recommendations is one of our favorite parts too. Eskerrik asko for such kind words and for trusting us with your Rioja adventure!
