Bodegas Muga — Attraction in Haro

We've had some Muga wines before, but last time we've been here we missed the opening times. And that was 7 years ago. This time we went in the morning already to make sure to be able to do some tasting.

It's a classy tasting room. A mix of modern and traditional, very stylish. Staff is fantastic, very friendly and helpful. We were travelling with our Bulldog, so one of us waited outside. But we were able to bring the wines just outside in front of the entrance, which was nice of them.

The wines are great here. The Muga Crianza and Reserva offer great typical Rioja flavours for little money. But compared to some other wineries, these wines here are heavier and smoother at the same time. Great value.

The Prado Enea and the Torre Muga do cost more, but are worth every buck. Two of our favourites and here on the vineyard they cost a lot less than at our home. Their flagship, the Aro, we didn't drink yet. It was not available for tasting, which is understandable (wouldn't make sense prise-wise). But we definitely will get a bottle next time we visit. Especially here you are able to get it for a great price.

All in all a fantastic visit and one of our very favourite wine producer from Spain. We...

Our first time at Haro, wanting to taste wine but not sure where. So many wine cellars and we only had 1/2 day to spend in Haro. Wine Cellar “Muga” attracted us due to the fact that it’s the only cellar in Spain with a master cooper and three in-house barrel-makers. We got there at 1pm and the last wine tour was at 12:30. We decided to buy 1 bottle and drink it in the terraza, there at the Cellar. Jose, the wine server, went above and beyond. He explained to us the wine process, from the beginning of harvest to the end. He took the time to share with us his immense knowledge; something we will cherish for life. Thank you Jose, thank you!, thank you, thank you. From the bottom of our heart, thank you! We ended up meeting one on the owners and he was so nice and kind that he spend a few minutes of his valuable time, with us and even invited us a bottle of wine and a “tabla of chorizo” sooooo good. Overall, this was THE best wine experience we have had. We highly recommend this wonderful...

We were visiting from NYC and meeting our family for a special family reunion. We were a group of 15 (2 grandparents, 8 adults and 7 teens/young adults). Thank you Miguel for helping us organize the tour/lunch and thank you Manuela for a great tour.

The lunch at Muga was a particular highlight of the trip. It was set up in a beautiful room with a big round table(with a lazy susan in the middle) that accommodated everyone. The service was super friendly and the chef was very accommodating, (as you can imagine in a group of 15, we do have some picky eaters) Everything was delicious, but the pochas were the best we had during the trip. Needless to say that the wine pairing was exceptional and flowed freely during the 2.5h lunch.

If you have a big group this is a must (think minimum is...
