Discover La Rioja on this private wine escape. The journey will start and end
Bilbao and excellent gateway to visit various wineries in the quaint wine towns of D.O. Rioja.
For the duration of the trip you will have an English chauffeur-car at your
disposition. Our drivers are very knowledge about the wines of the area and will
take you on visit to some of the most famous wineries for tours/tasting of their facilities.
 Accommodation will be in a
Wine Country Hotel 4* set with the vines of the Laguardia village. Enjoy dinning in traditional restaurants with
fine Riojan cuisine.
La Rioja may be one of the smallest autonomous communities in Spain in size, but its is a
grandiose land. This apparent contradiction is easily resolved by unveiling its great
historical, cultural and natural wealth. Bordered by four other autonomous comminutes La Rioja takes the best from each one of them to form a melting pot with an identity of its own.
To the north lies the
Basque Country and Navarre, to the east, Aragón, and to the south Castilla y Leon. All of them are similar in some way to La Rioja but all can find something to envy it for. La Rioja receives its mild temperatures from the Atlantic, the warmth from the Mediterranean and harshness from the centre of the Iberian Peninsula. The influence of the north is felt more in the northern part of the region, called
Rioja Alta or Upper Rioja, and the Mediterranean influence is more evident in the southern area, called
Rioja Baja or Lower Rioja.
The fertile land is cultivated with special care and provides excellent produce: fruits, vegetables, etc. And grapes for wine; a wine considered one of the
best in the world.
 Art and history
(the famed pilgrimage route to the final resting place of St. James the Apostle called El Camino de Santiago), cuisine, a restful peace, nature at its most fertile and vibrant, merry festivals and anything else you might be searching for can all be found in La Rioja.
A perfect tour for family, couples, etc... looking for a VIP Wine Escape!

We had a fabulous time on the Camino de Santiago! Everything worked as
it should have and all contact we had with anyone associated with
EATours was very friendly, very helpful and totally professional. You
can be sure that we will be passing the word. A real pleasure...
