Rioja

Rioja appeals, not just for producing some of the finest wines in Spain, but also for the contrast between traditional and modern wineries that can be found here. Visit a historic bodega built on a farm, part of a medieval monastery that still produces its wine using the most traditional methods, then continue on to another that employs state-of-the-art wine technology in a building that is a work of modern art in itself.

Rioja wines are primarily made from Tempranillo grapes, which are the dominant variety in the region. These wines are known for their rich flavors, often showing notes of red fruit, vanilla, and spice. In addition to Tempranillo, Rioja wines may also include Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo grapes in varying proportions. The diverse terroir of Rioja, along with its traditional winemaking techniques, contribute to the production of high-quality and complex wines that are celebrated worldwide.

Private day tours with local guides ensure wine lovers have access to top-notch wineries and exposure to true hidden gems. Imagine yourself, relaxing at a winery in Rioja, a glass of rich Tempranillo in hand, while overlooking the stunning landscape of vineyards and rolling hills. This is the epitome of a perfect day for any wine enthusiast.

Ribera Del Duero

Ribera del Duero is one of Spain’s world-renowned wine regions and is situated along the banks of the Duero River on the country’s northern plateau. Wine has been produced in the region for thousands of years, but, viticulture as we know it today, was brought to the region by French Benedictine monks from Cluny, in Burgundy, during the 12th century.

What sets Ribera del Duero apart is its unique terroir. The extreme climate, characterized by hot days and cool nights, along with the diverse soil types, create the perfect conditions for producing exceptional-quality Tempranillo grapes. These grapes are the backbone of Ribera del Duero's robust and complex red wines, which are celebrated worldwide.

Tempranillo wine is a standout in Ribera del Duero's traditional winemaking culture. Tempranillo has a unique dual character that sets it apart from other wine varieties. It can be enjoyed as a vibrant, young red with fruity and floral notes, or as an aged red with profound complexity and elegant finesse.
