Our guide Jorge was wonderful! He was knowledgeable on food, wine and history of the area. Jorge picked us up at our hotel on time, after a short drive we arrived at a small organic winery to do tastings, we proceeded to Alquezar and visited the town and the castle, and ate a wonderful lunch with local food with Jorge’s guidance. The drive had many great views and the entire day was magical. I highly recommend this tour and any tours by Jorge and Rutica 41. Thank you!

Interesados en conocer más sobre la gastronomía y vinos en Aragón decidimos tomar esta excursión que disfrutamos muchísimo con nuestro guía Jorge. Muy puntual y agradable, Jorge nos llevo hasta la región de Somontanos a la bodega Lúas. Excelente selección de su parte pues la visita fue muy interesante, nuestra anfitriona en la bodega nos hizo un recorrido excelente te y la cara de vinos excelente. Luego Jorge nos llevo a visitar la villa de Alquézar y la Colegiata de Santa Maria. Incluido en la excursión estaba el almuerzo en el Restaurant Casa Pardina , donde pudimos degustar productos de la región. Nuestra experiencia fue excelente y recomendamos a Jorge y sus excursiones gastronómicas altamente.
