RIOJA WINE FESTIVAL – THE BEST WAY TO EXPERIENCE THIS TRADITIONAL FESTIVAL IS WITH A LOCAL WINE EXPERT AS YOUR GUIDE.  WITH ALL THE TRANSPORT AND ACCOMMODATION ORGANISED, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS ENJOY!

 

This excellent tour is organised by a Spanish Travel Colleague who is an expert in the Wine Regions of Spain.  You will truly be in the hands of an enthusiastic expert and will experience the Festival in a way not possible as an independent visitor.  The group is kept small, and may include different nationalities (always rather fun).

For aficionados of wine, this celebration of the vine is not one to be missed. Great wines are created with patience, passion, knowledge and the hard work of generations. Providence, too, plays its part, so the annual celebration is not just an expression of thanksgiving but a part of the heritage that fills your glass! Live the festival and love the wines of Rioja!

 

This is a 5-day tour two-centre tour. After you have been met at Bilbao airport we will whisk you away to Haro, about 55 miles from Logroño, for the first two nights in a 4-star hotel.

 

After Haro, the next two nights will be at a 3-star boutique hotel in Logroño where traditional hospitality and contemporary chic meet in a building of classic dignity near the cathedral and the gastronomic temptations of Calle Laurel.

 

Your tour will include a visit to Dinastia Vivanco Museum which tells the story of wine-making, introductions to pre-eminent traditional and avant-garde winemakers and the joys of their wines. You will visit the hilltop fortress town of Laguardia and feast on food widely regarded as the best in Spain. All this, and still time to enjoy the festival!

 

As you can imagine, the Rioja Wine Festival attracts visitors from around the world so it’s very important to book early. Leave it too late and you could miss the fun and certainly the comforts of a good hotel.

 

And another bonus! Your well-informed, dedicated guide will accompany you to the authentic tapas bars and restaurants free of charge!
