La Rioja Tour from San Sebastian

MonicaGuerrero, May 2024

Daniel was our tour guide and we went out for 2 days because we loved it so much. He had an extensive knowledge of the wines and the region. It is great to have an insider helping. The lunch restaurant was very rustic and super delicious!

Response from Host, May 2024

Fantastic Tour with an expert guide

Grahame_C, Jan 2020

We visited 7 Rioja wineries during the 9 hour trip and it was an incredible experience. Our guide, Iker Bardaji, is a wine expert as well as being from San Sebastian, in Basque country. He was able to take us to the best Rioja wineries and tell us in detail about the wines and the Basque culture. We had lunch at Marques de Riscal, which has a Michelin Star- amazing. We had a great day- unhesitatingly recommend.
