Adults only; the drive is long each way. Rated 4.9 by 49 travellers. In our comparison: #18 of 27 in Day Trips from San Sebastián, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Discover Rioja in a very small group of no more than 7 people, led by a great local guide who makes the day feel relaxed, informative, and genuinely fun. You’ll explore three carefully selected wineries, from classic producers to modern innovators, tasting a range of premium wines that showcase both tradition and creativity. The day is rounded off with a gourmet lunch at a much-loved rustic restaurant, where traditional Riojan cuisine with a modern touch is paired with local wines. This tour is about great wine, good food, and learning Rioja in a friendly, personal way. It is more like spending the day with friends in wine country than joining a standard tour. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Please wait for your guide by the statue, - Max 7 people: small group - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 09:00: one departure a day - Food included: +8 premium wine tastes - Age 18+: minimum age to join **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €307 per person - Duration: 8h 30m - Rating: 4.9/5 from 49 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Ikusnahi Tours - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Shared, up to 7 travellers - Guide languages: English - Start times: 09:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-16 ## Reviews 4.9 from 49 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 98% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 48 of 49. - 5 stars: 47 (96%) - 4 stars: 1 (2%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 1 (2%) ## What's included - +8 premium wine tastes - Traditional 3-course lunch with wine (red and white) - Air-conditioned vehicle - Profesional guide - Sample local olive oil - Visit a medieval village - Visiting 3 Rioja wineries ## Not included - Gratuities ## Itinerary 1. **Laguardia** (30m) - is a charming village in Spain known for its narrow, cobblestone streets and medieval urban layout shaped like an almond.
