About this activity

Experience a day of exquisite wine tourism with our tour from San Sebastian to La Rioja, where you’ll discover why these lands, shaped since Roman times, are synonymous with excellence.

With private transport and hotel pick-up in San Sebastian, head to La Rioja to visit two (one for the bilingual group option) contrasting wineries: one small and family-run, the other mid-sized, exploring traditional and innovative vineyard and cellar methods. Stroll among vines and barrels and enjoy a guided wine tasting highlighting the red fruit, vanilla, and spice notes typical of Crianza and Reserva wines.

Continue to Laguardia, a medieval gem with cobbled streets and underground cellars, for a small pintxos lunch paired with local wines and tips to explore the wine route further.

No expertise is required, just a desire to discover unique landscapes and meet the people behind each bottle, in a comfortable, intimate, and flexible day.
