What to expect
You'll be picked up in a private vehicle and taken to vineyards selected based on your wine preferences and the guide's local knowledge. The day moves at your pace—you'll tour production areas, taste wines (exact number depends on which wineries you visit), and learn about Rioja's winemaking from someone with deep regional expertise. Between or after tastings, you'll eat homemade local dishes, either at a winery or elsewhere the guide recommends. The tour wraps up after 8–9 hours. Because it's private and tailored, the exact stops and timing aren't fixed; you decide how long to linger at each place.
