Rioja Tour Excellence - The tour was excellent but it was the guide, Marina, that made the day. When you spend 8 hours with somebody, it so important to have the right person/personality to make the day special. We are not wine experts and just enjoyed the experience and learning about Rioja

Sip by sip tour with lunch - We had an amazing experience with Jon our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable in wine, knew about history and took us to amazing bodegas. Im addition one of our friends heritage was from a town name Treviño and he accommodated the tour to take us to lunch there. He also took us to the most amazing views and he was very flexible! You will not regret booking this tour it is worth every penny!

Rioja Alta!! - We decided that our trip to Spain had to include a visit to La Rioja, the land of Tempranillo. Jon, our tour guide drove us to three boutique wineries in Rioja Alta. HIs engaging manner and knowledge of wine in general, and the wine in Rioja Alta specifically was outstanding. We stood in Rioja Alta's foothills 1500 - 1600 feet above sea level. The wines at each winery we visited provided us with a deep appreciation of Tempranillo.

Serendipity in Rioja - Sara was our guide. She was charming, knowledgeable and articulate. Pure magic. Thank you. Spanish hospitality at its best, great wine, delicious tapas and enchanting hosts all day. Haro, La Guardia, the Cantabrian mountain views inspired the day. We highly recommend this tour. Viator was very easy to work with and communicated reliably.

A must in Rioja - This was a tremendous tour led by Sara our guide. She had an enormous amount of in depth information about the region, the soil, the vines and the vineyard and winery processes. At each stop we met a well spoken and friendly professional representing their winery and had educational but delicious tastings. We also visited some unique buildings and a perfect Spanish town for a relaxed lunch. well worth your time and money.
