Enjoy a premium day with our wine-tasting tour from Bilbao to La Rioja, designed to savour Rioja wines at their source and understand why this land, cultivated since Roman times, is a byword for excellence.
With a local guide and private transport, visit two different wineries, one small, one mid-sized—to compare traditional methods and modern innovations, stroll among barrels, and enjoy a guided tasting to identify notes of red fruit, vanilla, and spices.
The tour continues in medieval Laguardia with cobbled streets, vineyard views, underground cellars, and a light pintxos lunch paired with local wines.
No expertise needed, just curiosity, good company, and a taste for Rioja’s finest. Small groups and flexible options make it perfect for solo travellers too.
*Private experience option available.

5.00I cannot recommend this tour enough. Our Guide, Asier, was welcoming, knowledgable and considerate of everyone’s needs. There were surprises along the way and the choice of vineyards made for a unique experience. The generosity of our hosts was anove and beyond.
Great way to visit the Rioja region from Bilboa!

5.00The tour is exactly as advertised. In our case it was a very small group, just the two of us and the guide, Adur. Pick up was a few minutes before the scheduled 8:30AM appointment. We drove in a nice and very clean van and our guide was both very knowledgeable about the area, but intelligent and very interesting to talk to. The first tasting was at about 10 AM at Luis Canas. They are a medium sized producer with some excellent wines which we tasted along the winery tour. I’ve been on many winery tours, so generally not excited to see the facilities or cave again, but they actually made the tour interesting and we met some of the workers finishing up some late harvest work which was new. I actually learned quite a bit. Our guide through the winery and tasting, Anna, was INCREDIBLY knowledgeable and seemed to know just about anything about the vineyard and wine that you could ask. She was amazing. Our second stop, Tritum, is a smaller, boutique producer with a very interesting facility (caves 30 m below street level and a modern tasting room on the ground and upper floor). I have forgotten the name of the young woman who gave us the tour on property, but she was great. After the tastings, we stopped for a casual lunch at what I would call a pinxtos place for some small plates and cheesecake. Then it was a drive back to our hotel in Bilbao.

5.00Our driver,Adur, was an excellent guide. Timing was excellent as well, as one vineyard we visited was still harvesting and we got to see all the activity. Several individuals on the tour were comedians at heart and we enjoyed many entertaining moments.
Fabulous wine tour!

5.00My sister and I had the best day with our guide Eduardo and the rest of our group of 8. Eduardo was so professional, warm, knowledgeable and very punctual. He really made it a fun day and was so kind to give us other recommendations for later in our trip! We toured two wineries with tastings and then had lunch at a restaurant with food and wine included. Both wineries were great but Tritium was definitely the highlight of the day and we truly fell more in love with wine from Rioja. It was about a 1.5 hour drive from Bilbao to the vineyards with comfortable seating and water in the van. Highly highly recommend doing this tour, worth every penny!
Great Rioja wine experience

5.00Excellent experience, highly reccommend. Our guide Edwardo was very informative and the tours and tastings at the two wineries were very in depth. Depending upon the wineries visited there may be steep and uneven steps down into a very old cave. Late lunch was welcome and a delicious sampling of regional dishes.
An interesting and fun tour with a great tour guide and awesome lunch

5.00Great experience because we had a charismatic, knowledgeable and understandable tour guide driver. Learned more about the Basque region than just wines. Asier was great
1 of 2 wineries was excellent
