About this tour

What to expect
You'll be collected from your Vitoria hotel (or agreed meeting point) and driven into La Rioja. On arrival at the first winery, your guide leads a tasting; depending on your chosen option, you may visit a second winery with another tasting. The exact number of wines sampled varies by season and venue. You'll then explore Laguardia's medieval streets on foot — a compact walled town surrounded by vineyards. Lunch follows at a local restaurant; the menu depends on your booking option, but vegetarian, gluten-free, and children's versions are accommodated if specified at booking. You'll return to Vitoria by late afternoon.
