Rioja Wine Route with winery owner

This was an amazing excursion into La Rioja wine country. With the winery owner Jose, we received education on the terrain, grape varieties, wine making process and politics. We toured 4 wineries with tastings between Logrono and Haro. We had an exclusive dining experience, 5 course meal with paired wine. Meal served inside a portion of preserved wine (foot press) vat. Recommend for wine experts and novices alike. You must go beyond Logrono to truly appreciate the vineyards and wineries. This tour will take you there.

Jose was awesome. He was very passionate and knowledgeable about wine and more than willing to educate us about the history of winemaking in Spain. The homemade meal Yosume and Jose provided was incredible. Highly recommend.

Incredible and unique experience! Jose was a really excellent guide - he explained the nuances of wine in the Rioja region. His family was also incredibly hospitable and kind. We 10/10 recommend!

This is a must do. Jose’s passion for the wine making industry makes this tour incredibly fun and interesting. The 5 course lunch at his own refurbished winery and cellar tops off the day. This tour is well worth the money

Jose is passionate about wine in Spain and his tour is informative and fun. We stopped at 3 wineries for tastings but the last stop at his refurbished small winery is amazing. Jose and his wife have lovingly restored a very old small family wine press and wine cellar and welcome you into it with open arms. His wine is very good, the 5 course lunch is tasty. This tour is a must do and worth every dollar we spent.

This wine tour felt so unique and personal. The host is really passionate about local and family wineries. (He is also very serious about it) We visited two family owned wineries and one more commercial one. My only regret was not buying some of the wine from the first place we visited (they export some of their wines but not all). The really unique part was that he and his family live in a village and their house has its own old winery building and wine cave. He showed us around there and then we had a wonderful and relaxing homemade lunch _inside_ an old wine barrel. It's been reworked to be a cozy nook. Okay, I have one other regret -- I didn't ask his wife for her stew recipe!

Our Guide, Jose all an expert and very professional, My Mother and I had a unique experience, I recommend this tour 100%

Irma van Heugten when you write a comment about us you should not write things that are not there. We are certainly recreational people but you make sure with your behavior and fabrications that we are annoying campers who think they can do and make anything. But that kite doesn't fly. My wife went to the reception to pay for my children and grandchildren. But making even 0-year-olds pay the full price seems a little ridiculous to me. But we just paid 45 euros for 3 hours of visitation. You can paint us in your comment as people who live in a camper think we set the rules ourselves. We clearly indicated that we had a car with us. And that wasn't a problem. Until you started being difficult, then nothing was possible. And then you will also tell us that we have a letter address what is wrong with that a lot of people in the Netherlands have. You just have nothing to do with that. It turns out you're a nasty person When you write back such a comment. So it's nice that people like us never More coming, you can imagine how you are I would if I were you read the comments carefully. Greetings from your anonymous camper You are just terrible.!!!!!!!!!!!!

The picture used to advertise this experience couldn’t be more wrong. Jose our guide was the consummate professional ensuring we had an enjoyable and educational day. His passion for the wine and its heritage in Rioja made for an authentic and enjoyable experience . Lunch was next level too . We would highly recommend this to anyone interested in or wanting to explore the wines of this region as well as enjoy the vistas of the region.

Jose picked us promptly at our hotel for an all day winery tour. He explained the Spanish wine culture, the farming and wine making system and the ways that grapes and wine are acquired by wineries. We sampled several wines at different bodegas along the way. His restored winery from the 1800s is magnificent. We sampled wines after hearing about his winery and then proceeded to have a fabulous lunch cooked by him and his wife. Everyone in our party would highly recommend this tour.
