5.00We loved our experience on this tour! Rebeca, Robert, and Fito were excellent hosts. You get the full experience of the Rioja wine region from descending into historic wine caves and observing the aging process to experiencing an amazing home cooked meal and family wine at a local residence. Getting to learn from native Riojans and hear their stories is the best part! We cannot recommend this experience enough!

Rebecca and Robert gave an extremely personalized experience that taught us a tremendous amount about wine and also made us feel very much at home and as if we were with family. The tour was extremely well-organized. We cannot thank Rebecca and Robert enough. We will send all our friends and family your way.

5.00Rebeca and Robert curated one of the best wine tours we have been on. As a couple touring Spain, their itinerary fit our schedule perfectly. Rebeca was super friendly and responsive during the lead up to the trip. Robert was much funnier than your average guide. Our tour was filled with lots of good history, good wine, good chesse and an amazing home cooked lunch. Would highly recommend this tour if you are lucky enough to get a spot!

5.00What a GREAT all-around experience and highly recommended! Rebecca was so helpful during the planning process, with an emphasis on understanding our interests in a Rioja wine tour so that she could tailor the perfect experience. Then our guide Fito perfectly navigated the carefully crafted 2-day itinerary while making us feel right at home in Rioja. Fito's passion and knowledge of wine was so helpful to the dialogue and such a great compliment to all of the tours and tastings. I'm so very thankful I found this team to help with our Rioja wine journey. Thank you so much for making a highlight of our two weeks in Spain. Until next time, hasta luego!
