La Rioja wines and Laguardia tour from Pamplona
About this experience
Discover the essence of Rioja wine on this exclusive tour from Pamplona to La Rioja, one of Spain’s most prestigious wine regions. In the late 19th century, Bordeaux winemakers recognized its ideal soil and climate, helping make the DOCa Rioja the country’s leading denomination. Over seven hours, enjoy a small-group experience with hotel pick-up and private transport. Visit two (one in the Bilingual group option) renowned wineries to learn about viticulture and winemaking traditions that date back to Roman times, and take part in guided tastings led by local experts. The journey continues in Laguardia, a stunning medieval town surrounded by vineyards, where you’ll stroll its cobbled streets and enjoy pintxos paired with wine. This Rioja winery tour from Pamplona is ideal for travelers seeking an authentic blend of wine, history, and gastronomy amid the landscapes of Rioja Alavesa.
