Tour summary

To fully understand and appreciate wine, one of the key elements to consider is the terroir. On this tour, you will have the exciting opportunity to dive into this concept firsthand. You will not only taste exceptional single-vineyard wines but also visit the wineries’ vineyards where these remarkable wines are crafted, gaining a deeper connection to the land that produces them.

This is a one-of-a-kind tour that explores a captivating subject: the interaction between man and nature throughout the winemaking process, beginning with the vine and the land itself. In La Rioja, a deep understanding of the terroir by man is essential for crafting wines of exceptional quality, particularly given the region’s rich diversity of terroirs. This makes La Rioja the perfect destination to immerse yourself in the essence of terroir while enjoying its extraordinary wines and stunning landscapes
