Our tour guide Marina was personable and friendly. The food and wine were delicious. We had some wine shipped home. Gorgeous landscapes.

Our guide Marina was welcoming, upbeat and very knowledgeable. The day was well organised with plenty of time for photos. We learnt a lot about the region, the wines and enjoyed a beautiful lunch. Highly recommend.

Marina was our incredible tour guide. She is extensively knowledgeable in Basque history and she thoroughly educated us on our drive to Rioja and throughout the entire trip. The first winery we went to was Amaren which was truly a delight. Natalia was a the quintessential hostess. The wine was delectable and we even bought 6 bottles to ship to the US. The tapas were refreshing and we would recommend to everyone. The second winery we visited was Torre de Oño. The guide intricately explained the history and winemaking process. The meal was outstanding and the view was astounding. We truly want to emphasize how Marina elevated our entire experience. Me and my sister were so grateful to have her with us and would go on another tour with her in a heartbeat.

Amazing day in Rioja! Marina was great, very friendly and made the trip so fun. The wine we tried was delicious, Rioja itself was stunning!

We have just returned from a most enjoyable tour; La Rioja Butique Wine Tour - Two Wineries & Picnic. We visited selected wineries in the Rioja winegrowing region to the south of Bilbao. As my wife and I were the only passengers on that rather cold and windy day we got the full attention of our excellent guide, Marina. She was very knowledgeable, a veritable fountain of information. On arrival at the wineries we got a very good guidance around the facilities. What surprised me was the immaculate cleanlyness and order of the production areas. At the end of each visit we were treated to delicious samples of wines and various cheeses and meat products. Simply fantastic, not least thanks to the personal attention of our delightful guide Marina.

We were lucky this day to have two really amazing guides, Jon and Marina. They are both Basque natives and were very proud to share their culture. They also were both very familiar with winemaking and the Rioja region. We went to two wineries and a very nice historic village for Pinxtos. The first winery was really quite fantastic. The second one was nice but not as good as the first. The village LaGuardia was very nice. I wouldn’t mind staying there. If we could have added a 3rd winery that would have been even better

The families at the local wineries were very personable and fun. Sara was a wonderful guide. We really enjoyed meeting the family and the fantastic home cooked picnic. The experience far exceeded our expectations.

The tour of Rioja from Bilbao was terrific. John was was a suberb ambassador for his home region, and was able to give us great understanding of the region, and of the wine scene in Rioja. The wineries he chose for us to visit were both small to medium boutique wineries, and each were very welcoming and generous with both wine and light food to accompany it. We also turned out to share a passion for cycling, and cycle racing, so it was a great fit overall. I heartily recommend this tour!

We have experienced a few winery tours in our travels, and we loved this one, and it was worth every cent! We had a great day in the Rioja wine region with our wonderful tour guide Jon. He was very knowledgeable in relation to the wine region as well as the Basque country. We visited two wineries as part of this tour which were both awesome with wonderful hosts, and of course, wine! Jon also provided a few suggestions about places for us to visit during our stay in San Sebastian. I also had some interactions with Irene from the company and she was great. Having reflected on our 3-week holiday in Spain, we think this tour was a real highlight and would highly recommend this to people who enjoy wine and also want to visit the Rioja region. Thanks again Irene and Jon, you rock!
