Rioja Wine Private Tour from San Sebastian
Description
Our Winery Hopping sessions offer a selection from the wide range that Rioja produces; from traditional to more modern styles and signature wines, lesser-known wines that are proud not to be listed but highly praised by locals. A tour for wine lovers who want to explore a wide range of outstanding wines. We will get to 3 wineries, from Classical Rioja wineries to small boutique family owned ones, hopping into their wine bars, to taste the best wines of each winery. For lunchtime, we will head to a local restaurant to savour a tasting menu, a three-course meal including wine of course! After lunch we will visit the charming town of Laguardia, a small picturesque town that is somewhat unreal, as from a fairy tale, with its narrow cobbled streets, with its ancient walls and with that medieval touch of distinction that fascinates travellers so much.

We had the best day touring Rioja with Andoni! He picked us up from our hotel in San Sebastián and drove us through stunning scenery to three wonderful wineries for tours and tastings. Andoni was incredibly knowledgeable about the region, sharing insights along the way and making the drive itself part of the experience. He chose an excellent restaurant for lunch, and he took care of every detail so we could just relax and enjoy. We loved spending the day with him and felt completely safe and well looked after from start to finish. We highly recommend Andoni to anyone looking to explore the Basque region —he’s a fantastic guide!
Thanks so much!
Our tour guide Andoni is very well versed and knows the San Sebastián-Donastia and Rioja areas very well as he grew up here. The wineries we visited were very good - Andoni picked them well. We bought many wines and look forward to their arrival at home. Andoni is a good story teller and kept us very engaged on the drive to Rioja, then let us sleep on the return after tasting many wines and having lunch in La Guardia. The perfect guide!! We highly recommend this tour, and Andoni as your guide.
Thanks! It was great to spend a day with you!
Returning to San Sebastián, we were excited to see that Andoni was still offering tours of his home Basque Country. We had pinchos and tour of the area almost ten years ago with him and had not forgotten what a great time we had and what a wonderful host Andoni was. Andoni loves his home of San Sebastián and seems to know everyone there and in Basque Country. Tours are always private and he is a host rather than a guide. Pinchos and a Rioja tour were fresh and wonderful.
We had so much fun on this tour and would recommend it to anyone wanting to experience a day in Rioja with a super fun and knowledgeable guide!
What a fantastic experience. Highly recommend if you can spend the day tasting amazing Riojas in wine country. Antony was extremely knowledgeable and took great care of us. Cheers!
Andoni is just outstanding. A great human being and a super connected + well informed guide. Incredible knowledge of the region and its culture.
Tour guide (Andoni) was on time, friendly and very professional. He shared many interesting facts and we learned so much from him! It is clear he loves his country and working with people. The wine was great- beautiful places & very sweet people at each place. Lunch was excellent. So nice to show up and not have to worry about anything. Very relaxing, fun and easy trip. Strongly recommend!
We had an amazing day visiting three wineries. Andoni was a great guide.. we highly recommend this tour.
Great day out and highly recommended. Andoni was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and friendly and was good company throughout the day. All 3 vineyards were superb and got to taste some lovely wines.
Thanks Mark! Hope to see you again!
Andoni was superb! Not only the wine tour but also his knowledge of the beautiful Basque country side. Cannot recommend him highly enough!!
