Bodegas Roda — Attraction in Haro

Came back to Bodegas Roda after a few years. Luckily we are able to get their wine at our home, but it was still fun to revisit the winery.

Both the "Sela" and the "Roda Reserva" are really good wines at great value. But - if budget allows - you should try and get the "Roda I", very smooth, yet powerful wine. Fair priced. We always have a bottle or two on stock at home. The "Cirsion" - which is available by the glass here as well - is their biggest player. And it really is the best one. But breaks our budget by a bit. But the Roda I makes us happy as well.

Staff here was as great as last time, friendly and helpful.

Luckily we were able to bring the wine outside to the table, since we've had our Bulldog with.

And there's another reason to come here. Their Olive Oil (they got two kinds) is divine. Especially the "Aubocassa". Hands down the best olive oil we've ever had. And we've had many.... So smooth and so so fruity. You could just drink it. But put on some bread or crackers with some sea salt....there's heaven. Bought 12 bottles this time. Well priced too.

All in all a Bodega we really love. Great wine - the olive oil as well. Fair prices, great looking wine cellar, friendly staff. The whole package. We...

I was looking forward to visiting this winery, having previously enjoyed their wine from a local shop. Unfortunately, their customer service fell far short of expectations. Due to a last-minute airline cancellation—completely outside my control—I was unable to attend the prepaid tour. I reached out as soon as I could, but the winery refused to offer a refund or credit, citing their strict cancellation policy.

Every other business on our itinerary showed understanding and made accommodations. This winery chose inflexibility over empathy. It’s disheartening to see such disregard for genuine circumstances. If their business model depends on keeping money from guests who never arrive, it raises questions about their priorities.

I won’t be recommending a visit, and I won’t be purchasing their wine again. Hospitality should extend beyond the tasting room—and this experience...

Enjoyed the tour through the vineyard and tasting. Our guide, although she had a complicated name, was amazing. She was kind, knowledgeable and spoke clearly. She showed us around the vineyard, explained the way wine is cultivated and was able to answer all my questions, ranging from biology to history. The tour is really something different from the typical "how we make wine" ones. The tasting afterwards included a nice second wine (the first you drink in the fields). At 25 euros it is not cheap but the experience strikes the balance between being well organised and rifined while also not being overly comercial and markting driven (which makes these things unpersonal and annoying).

We both really enjoyed...
