Immerse your senses in wine culture with this exclusive Rioja excursion from San Sebastián, featuring a family winery visit, wine tasting, and a traditional Riojan feast.
Treat yourself to an exceptional day of wine tourism with our Rioja wine tour from San Sebastián, an experience designed to savor the territory through its centuries-old vineyards, medieval villages, and authentic local cuisine. With direct hotel pick-up and private transportation, we head to the prestigious D.O.Ca. Rioja region. The adventure begins with an exclusive visit to a family-run winery, where you can walk among the rows of vines and discover the secrets of the terroir, harvest times, and every stage of winemaking, from grape selection to barrel aging. The visit culminates in a guided tasting to appreciate the notes of red fruit, vanilla, and spices characteristic of the area's great wines.
The cultural immersion continues with a feast for the palate: a traditional Riojan lunch consisting of four courses and dessert. The menu, designed to harmonize with the landscape, includes delicacies such as blood sausage, piquillo peppers, "pochas" beans or Riojan-style potatoes, and classic lamb chops grilled over vine shoots, ending with a Goxua dessert. During the meal, your guide will share stories about the presses and underground cellars that define the identity of this land.
To complete the day, you will visit the medieval gem of Laguardia, strolling through its cobblestone streets and enjoying infinite views from its natural viewpoints. With a maximum group size of 8 people, we guarantee a serene pace and personalized attention, allowing you to delve deep into wine culture without worrying about logistics. It is the perfect opportunity to understand why in La Rioja, wine is not just a drink—it is a passion to be lived.
