This was a personalized tour for four of us by Jose at the Bodega del Tesoro. We met him at the property (parking is a few steps away on a small cinder lot) for his detailed and in depth knowledge of the wine industry of the region and especially about the competition, terroir, changing habits and the business of wine. We watched a couple of short narrated movies and he showed us around his restored winery and caves that go into the hillside opposite. We enjoyed three wines, and some delicious hot and cold food on the patio of his amazing bar. This was an excellent experience, worth the money and we came away from this visit with a better understanding of the importance of wine from this region.

We’ve been on wine tours in many areas of the world and this was by far our favorite since it was so much more than just basic tastings. Jose was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who took us into the vineyards and taught us all about Rioja wine production. We then had tastings at 3 very different tasting rooms which showcased the variety of wines produced in this area. The highlight of the tour was a visit to La Bodega del Tesoro, a 19th century bodega which Jose had restored. His passion for the culture and tradition of the location were apparent and you could feel the history of the building the minute you walked in the door. Much of the original equipment was there and we were served a fantastic lunch and wine tasting inside one of the big vats used to stomp grapes. If you’re in the area this is a don’t miss unique experience.

What a unique experience! We started the day with a drive through the countryside, where Jose was very knowledgeable about the area and all to do with the growing of vines. This lead to visiting a local wine festival which Jose thought we would enjoy. This showcased local wineries, set in a Medieval village. A really good experience! Jose then took us to his own winery, recently renovated with all original features. This was an amazing insight into the traditions of old. To follow, was a wonderful lunch cooked by his lovely wife, served in a very unique setting. Fantastic hospitality throughout the day, and an experience that I’m sure is not available on any other tour. If you are visiting the Rioja area, this tour is a must, you won’t be disappointed!!

We are still talking about our experience with Jose and his lovely wife. Five of us spent at least 4 hours here and enjoyed every minute. Jose took his time to explain the culture and heritage of wine making in this region. We toured the caves and had a tasting and then went back to eat a delicious dinner cooked by his wife. We ate and drank wine in the huge vat which was really cool. We were all moved by Jose's passion to preserve the local wine-making traditions and we wish him continued success. Highly recommend and a must do!

This was hands down our favorite adventure in Rioja. Jose was a wonderful guide and took us on an amazing sightseeing tour of the area and even into the vineyard to taste grapes right off the vine. He did not rush and answered all of our questions. We left knowing the basics of Rioja and it’s wine - which we came in knowing nothing of. The wineries that we visited were absolutely beautiful and the wine was delicious! Then the cherry on the sundae was the visit to LA bodega del Tesoro- a refinished 19th century bodega with wine vats still intact and in the floor. We ate a small snack on the patio in the beautiful sunny scenery. Then, We visited the wine cellar and tasted wine in the cellar right out of the barrel which was VERY cool! The meal was home cooked by Jose’s wife! She was so accommodating and made something different for me- someone who doesn’t eat red meat. The food was SO good - so fresh and amazing. We shared a bottle of wine with dinner and finished with fresh cheesecake. Overall, it was wonderful to support a small local business in the community. Jose was passionate about keeping the culture and tradition of small family owned Bodegas alive in Rioja and This showed through in everything he said and did! This is such a gem of an experience- not the usual touristy thing!

This experience goes beyond classic wine tasting tour. It starts with views from the small roads around the hills looking over the Ebro river, down mountains of sierra Cantabrica. Learn the aeras of Rioja, the wine, versus the administrative region, La Rioja, the provinces around. In fall, colors were magical. Hundreds of portion of lands are dedicated to vines in different styles. Learn the history from before the Roman empire. Above all it is about history of people and families thru generations, small and large vineyards, classic carrying traditional practices and new approaches while preserving the legacy of this land and its villages.

This winery is unique and has been restored in recognition of its history. Our lunch and the wines were exceptional! Would definitely recommend!

Unique experience. Exquisite, authentically restored winery. Fabulous food, wine. Charming host couple. Highly recommend

I would give this six stars if I could. Amazing labour of love that Jose and his family bought and restored decayed winery buildings. There is a great cave cellar, and a pressing room. We did the 'gastro' tour which was very interesting and much more personal than a large corporate experience. We had a tour with Jose and then some food and wine sat inside one of the original giant grape crushing barrels. This wasn't cheap but it was great value both as an experience for us and for helping to preserve a historic building. At the time of writing this has 100% 'excellent' reviews and it is well deserved. Don't hesitate to book - you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I first visited the Bodega in April 2019 and were eager to return! We were excited to see the expansion of the Bodega as the additional spaces were under construction in 2019. The Bodega, the wine bar, the patio, are each unique with so much attention to detail. This place is definitely worth visiting! The wines, the cheese, the olive oil, and the food is amazing, but above all, Jose and Josune are great hosts which make for a truly memorable experience. We look forward visiting once again!
