Outstanding private tour

My husband and I bought Ike’s a private tour and got lucky enough to have Rebecca as our guide:) I was looking for a Very unique and personalized experience and had communicated all of this via email. Rebecca was extremely responsive and really “got” the vibe I was looking for. We went to 3 very unique wineries and had a fabulous “local” lunch. Every aspect of the day was perfect. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Just Book This

Stop scrolling and just book with them. Rebeca, the owner, will make sure your visit to La Rioja is seamless and memorable. From pickup to dropoff, the entire day was wonderful. Everything was taken care of. Our driver, Jose, was amazing - so fun and kind. The winery tours were thoughtful and delicious. 11/10 would recommend!

Wonderful Day!

We had an incredible experience on our Rioja wine tour—easily one of the highlights of our trip to Spain. What was scheduled as a small group tour ended up being just the two of us with our guide, which made the day feel like a completely private, personalized experience. Our guide was outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the region. They struck the perfect balance between education and enjoyment, giving us great insight into Rioja wines, the history of the area, and each winery we visited without ever feeling overwhelming. The wineries themselves were fantastic and thoughtfully selected, offering a great mix of styles and settings. The lunch was also excellent and a perfect way to break up the day. Everything felt well-paced and seamless from start to finish. If you’re visiting Rioja, we can’t recommend this tour highly enough. It was relaxed, informative, and genuinely memorable—exactly the kind of experience you hope for when traveling.

Great choice in wineries!

The three wineries we went to were awesome. Such a fun experience going to the family owned wineries. I only gave it four stars because I don’t think it was worth the big bucks. Loved the wineries not the price.

Wine Tour with WOW!!!

FABULOUS! Start to finish, Owner to Guide…all top notch. Rebeca is phenomenal to work with. Her communication is clear, concise, and professional. Fito was our guide and he was kind, well informed and immersed in the wine culture. We wanted to experience the smaller family-owned vineyards and Rebeca customized our tour perfectly. We highly, highly recommend this full day tour and anything “Rioja Like A Native” has to offer.

Amazing Wine Tour with Fito

Our two day trip with Fito, a member of Rebeca's team was amazing! I worked very closely with Rebeca during the planning stage to ensure we visited wineries that were aligned with our tastes and this resulted in an incredible tour. Fito is wonderful, he knows so much about the area and the wineries. We really enjoyed spending two days with him as our guide. The wineries we visited were incredible and we ended up buying and shipping a lot of wine home. The countryside in the Rioja region is breathtaking. I was VERY insistent that we visit Marquis de Murrieta and Marquis de Riscal, fully expecting them to be our favorite spots, and while the venues and service at these establishments was great, the true gems were found elsewhere. Bodegas Tritium and Ostatu were two of our favorites, and we also loved Roda, and CVNE. The places we stopped for lunch were local and authentic foods which we very much enjoyed. If you're thinking of doing a wine tour like this, you can't go wrong!

Wonderful day 2026 and 2018

We first met Rebecca back in 2018, when we did the day long tour “like a native”. Had a wonderful time. So when we decided to visit Bilbao this year,2026, I reached out to be a return customer. Rebecca tailored a tour for us that returned to aplace we loved, in 2018 and two new wineries that were inspired. And represented the spirit of Rioja. (This trip was Lecea, Beronia, and Puelles). This time Fito was our guid and he was fun, knowledgeable and made the entire day so much fun. Now we have even more experiences to remember and love because of this great company. And don’t hesitate to take the bus from Bilbao to Haro to meet them for the tour. It is very easy and a nice ride. So those of you visiting Bilbao, be sure to give them a try.

Friendly, Easy, Knowledgeable on 3 very different Wineries

Fito was easy, fun, and informed. 3 Great Wine tours - all very different. Younger generation taking over the family business and getting creative with the wines and experience at Bodegas Diez del Corral: La Piconada - and a new varietal for us - Maturana! Then a very old family run super traditional LECEA. Best Wine cave tour ever and have done a lot! Great family; and then we wrapped up with another real and different treat LA EMPERATRIZ. Loved the day with Fito and would do it again!

Incredible private tour of Rioja wineries

We had an amazing day long private tour of Rioja. This was our first time to Rioja as we journeyed down from Bordeaux for a couple of days. Rebecca organized an amazing tour of Rioja as we were intentional about the wineries that we were to visit, a very small family owned winery, a winery still embracing the traditional ways and a mid size winery. Fito was our tour guide, who is knowledgeable and passionate about wines, WSET level 3 as he recognized our experience as well. All three bodegas were solid and gave us a glimpse of Rioja that definitely made us want to come back to dig into the region, its wines and food more. Thank you Rebecca and Fito for sharing Rioja with us.
