ラ・リオハ州プライベートツアー：2つのプレミアムワイナリーを訪問（ランチ付き）

We had a wonderful day in Rioja with Adria in mid-August. (I am not sure I have spelled his name correctly.) We did “A day in wine country: from Bilbao to La Rioja two-winery tour”. Adria picked us up in front of our Bilbao hotel and we felt comfortable with him from the start. He had a wealth of information to share about Basque country and Basque culture, and was very knowledgeable about the history of wine making in the Rioja Valley. Our planned wineries were to the east of the Ebro River, so in the Basque part of the valley. We had excellent experiences at the two family wineries we visited, including tours and excellent tastings. We were there on a quiet weekday, so nothing was crowded. At one winery we did our tasting with one other couple, and at the other with a group of three women. It was fun to meet some other travelers and a small group made the wine tastings more interesting. We even splurged and purchased case of a Rioja Blanco we knew we’d never find at home. After the wineries, we went to the little hilltop town of Laguardia for a light lunch. (We had already eaten a fair amount with our tastings.) It is a 10th century walled city that makes you feel as though you’ve been whisked back in time. It also has scenic views of the valleys and mountains. After lunch and a walk around the town, Adria drove us back to Bilbao and dropped us off a little before 5:00. It was a perfect day! I would highly recommend this tour. We will probably book another tour through Delight Bilbao on our next trip.

This was an AMAZING tour! Everything was timely, well organized, and tasty. Our guide, Hamish, was spectacular conversation and gave us great insight. He was a joy to be with! One of the best! The wineries were also high-class and detailed with their approach. It felt very tailored to us and intimate. Tons of wine to taste, and many different varieties. Definitely recommend!

The full day trip was fantastic with our private driver and guide. Our guide gave us a full understanding of the history and present day La Rioja wine region. We visited two wineries and it was clear that our guide had personal relationships with the establishments .. this made us feel like we were very welcome and resulted in excellent tours and tasting experiences.

We had a great day visiting some fine wineries in Rioja followed by a wonderful lunch. Our guide was super professional, knowledgeable, and a great host. Plan on a very special version of Rioja.

We loved it and ended up spending a little additional money on wine that we brought home, which the guide helped us arrange. Other trips were quite expensive and offered the same.

I didn't know much about Spanish wines before this tour, but now I’m hooked! The tour was both educational and fun, with plenty of opportunities to taste a variety of wines, from Crianza to Gran Reserva. The wineries were beautiful, and the hospitality was exceptional.

This was an amazing private tour. We requested and were able to visit two botique vineyards with great wines and two distinct wine making processes. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and took us on a tour of a small village. Price was comparable to a group tour.

We had a great time with Adrià on the wineries. All the locations were excellent, the wine choices and both the sommeliers had great knowledge and different stories to tell. Laguardia is a very impressive village with a ton of history.

This tour was a delightful experience, visiting two wineries with excellent tastings. Definitely a wine lover's dream!

Had a fantastic day trip to Rioja wine country! Visited Bai Gorri and Ostatu wineries, both excellent with beautiful settings and informative tastings. Our guide Adria was knowledgeable and friendly, which made the experience even better. Seriously, our guide made the trip worthwhile, incredible! Also enjoyed exploring the charming town of LaGuardia - highly recommend!
