SPAIN

Rioja Wine and Villages

Stay in the heart of Rioja, Logroño, (population 325,000) known for its tapas street Calle Laurel. Logrono is one of our favorite tapas cities in Spain and the densely packed bars offer a mind-boggling array of great Rioja to experience. We will explore nearby villages known for their winemaking like Haro, Elciego, San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Laguardia and Brionas. We’ll sample different tapas, traditional cuisine, and dine at Michelin restaurants while developing a deep understanding of Riojano culture. Join us for an in-depth exploration into the wines and history of Rioja! There’s a reason it’s the most famous wine region in Spain, discover why.

You can fly into Bilbao and take a bus to Logrono or take a train from Madrid to arrive. Before or after the trip. Pamplona and Burgos are reasonable distances to visit and Bilbao and the Basque country are 90-120 minutes away by car. Bilbao airport has connections to just about all of Europe (we will be flying from Bilbao directly to Paris in a couple of months).
