Beautiful drive through Rioja, excellent wineries with great presentations of the wines by the local stewards at those sites with friendly, knowledgeable and enjoyable tour leader who made sure we were happy with the whole experience.

Wonderful Day in Rioja!

Great day of wine tasting in the beautiful Rioja region. Zach was a super guide and took care of everything! If you want to skip the group tours and spend some quality time tasting the Rioja’s best, this is your tour!

Amazing!

The vineyards that we visited were amazing, especially one with an extensive network of underground callers. Zach was very knowledgeable and considerate, and we could not have asked for a better guide! We really enjoyed ourselves on this tour and highly recommend it to anyone from the casual wine drinker to the wine lover!
