RandyFriedlander, Oct 2025

Our first Viator wine tour was in Tuscany in 2019, and it was fantastic. Based on that positive experience we booked a Viator trip to Rioja. Our guide/driver Alex was very knowledgable on Spanish wines and spoke excellent English. He drove us through the mountains to visit four Rioja wineries. Alex was helpful in advising us what to buy from both a quality and value standpoint. The first three wineries were all family-owned, quality producers that offered a more personal experience. Each was unique in their own way. The fourth was Marques de Riscal, a large, renowned winery with global distribution, where we enjoyed a very pleasant lunch.
