We will kick things off in the over century-old winery in Haro where you will get the introduction to what Rioja has to offer. You will sample a selection of their best wines while the guide explains to you classic and modern approach to winemaking and the insights of ongoing wine revolution in the region. Ah! And Rioja isn’t just famous for its wine… High quality olive oil is also a thing here! And you will have an opportunity to find out about it trying some delicious extra virgin olive oil from a tiny village of Ollauri.

Stop At: Samaniego, Samaniego, Province of Alava, Basque Country
From Haro we will drive along the spectacular Sierra de Cantabria mountain range that makes a sharp divide between green Basque Country and dry central plateau to arrive at our next destination.

Now when you have already discovered the qualities of Rioja wine we will let you decide about bodega number 4!

The choice is yours!
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Laguardia, Laguardia, Province of Alava, Basque Country
During the trip you will not only treat your taste buds but also your mind and sight.
