Brilliant mix of wine tour, tasting and history - Excellent experience that was seamlessly managed from the beginning until the end. José picked us up from our hotel before taking us to see some of the vines, explaining the Rioja regulations / label colours before heading off to three wine makers aka Bodegas to sample their wines - note be prepared for larger than usual samples so pace yourself and I’d suggest definitely having breakfast beforehand! After visiting the vineyards and winemakers José takes you to a restored winery for more wine and a delicious, home cooked three course meal (plus appetiser) which is a great experience, particularly if you like a bit of history. Definitely worth the money for a full day out!!

A very special experience - We never imagined that we would learn so much about Rioja region. We also tasted great wines to demonstrate what we had learned. The cherry on top was the final (and extended) stop at La Bodega del Tosoro. Jose and Yosune are special hosts! Thank goodness for people like José keeping tradition alive. What a privilege to have experienced their passion. The home cooked food and wine was extraordinary. We arrived as guests and we left feeling like friends.

Amazing experience - We had an amazing time with Jose, learning about wine and the region. The final stop at his winery was a one of a kind experience. Would recommend to anyone!

Memorable experience, great host - It was a slow season so my husband and I had a truly private tour. Nearly a year later this remains our most memorable experience from 2 weeks in Spain. The meal alone was worth the cost of the tour. We learned about the varietals that make up Rioja wine and what the official label colors really mean (or don’t mean).

great tour guide. worth every cent - Best Day of our vacation. Jose provided a very complete explanation of the grape/wine processing and brought us to his home restored winery. We met and enjoyed Jose's family and his prepared dinner. Must rate the tour a 10. we have a new friend in Spain.

Traditional vinery - Amazing drive around the vinyards. Wine tasting in a few good vineries, but highlight was the tour around the traditional vinery and late lunch in the vine barrel at Bodegas del Tesoro. This vinery also had my favourite wines and olive oil for sale. Fantastic day enjoyed by the whole family

Amazing day of wine in La Rioja - Amazing day with Juan Manuel, visiting and tasting the wines and vineyards of the Rioja region. We received a full history of the region, it’s geography, the grapes, the wines and the foods from our guide Juan and the hosts at each vineyard we visited. Spectacular countryside, beautiful vineyards and great Rioja wines that we tasted and consumed rather heavily. Juan takes you through several gorgeous towns finally at the end of day we stopped at his newly converted winery, which we toured and then had a wonderful meal inside a huge winecask. We made it back to Logrono, groggy and overjoyed by the experience. This tour is well worth the expense. Don’t waste your time if you don’t like wine and learning a lot about them. We enjoy doing both and we had the most wonderful time. I highly recommend this tour.

One of the best days ever! - OMG! How do I capture what a beautiful day this was? Jose, and his hospitality made this one of our best days ever. We have done wine tours in numerous countries but this exceeds them all. Not only did we taste great wine and learn about Rioja wine, but we were treated as guests in Jose's own winery and tasting room. It was an amazing day. If you're thinking about it, just do it! We came to Logrono for the sole purpose of a good tour and this far exceeded any hopes we had. Bravo!

Authentic Experience - Wonderful and authentic experience. Jose was genuine and very knowledgeable. Ended at his family’s winery where we had a great lunch inside a barrel which was very unique. Loved meeting his family. Highly recommend!

Checking out the Rioja wine area. - We really enjoyed the visits to most of the wineries, Luis Canas, La Rioja Alta and the final stop La Bodega de Tesoro. The other winery was soso. At Tesoro, we had a fantastic delicious late lunch in a wine barrel. Jose was a wonderful guide who was knowledgeable, but a little hard to hear at times during the ride. We stopped in the fields to see what grapes had been left after the harvest, and we stopped when we wanted to take some scenic photos.
