Treat yourself to a day of wine tourism with this wine tour to La Rioja from San Sebastian, a sensory experience across century-old vineyards, medieval towns, and traditional cuisine.

Begin with a visit to family-run wineries in La Rioja, where you will walk among vine rows and vineyards, discover Rioja's terroir, learn about harvest timings, and follow each stage of production, from grape selection to barrel ageing. You'll then enjoy a guided wine tasting where notes of red fruit, vanilla, and spices emerge in the great whites and reds of the D.O.C.a Rioja.

The journey continues with a four-course Riojan lunch and dessert: black pudding, piquillo peppers and chillies, Rioja-style white beans and potatoes, wood-fired lamb chops and salad, and Goxua (a traditional Basque dessert with cream), perfectly paired with local wines. Meanwhile, your guide will share stories of press houses, underground cellars, and customs that define the identity of this land. Afterwards, the unhurried pace and endless vistas of Laguardia and its viewpoints provide the perfect finale.

With hotel pick-up and drop-off in San Sebastian, private air-conditioned transport, expert accompaniment, and an unhurried rhythm, this Rioja wine tour is an ideal experience for those who want to delve into wine culture without worrying about logistics.
