Bodegas Hermanos Peciña — Attraction in San Vicente de la Sonsierra

Family-owned winery in San Vicente de la Sonsierra--offers complimentary tours and tastings, but be sure to contact ahead to arrange the tour. Keeps split opening hours, with ample time for mid-day pause. The tour itself runs between thirty and forty-five minutes and is generally an intimate and highly personalized affair (we were two groups of two in our tour; conducted in a mix of Spanish, English and German). Tastings are generous and also highly personalized--we were able to taste everything that we wanted--the gran reserva, reserva, crianza, rosado, and blanco.

Hermanos Peciña makes both a traditionally-styled line of wine, Senorio de P. Peciña, and modern style. We're fans of the traditional style. Bottle prices are very reasonable, hospitality and service is excellent; highly recommend as an intimate tour in La Rioja, particularly to get a sense of the functioning and practical approaches of a smaller family winery. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend you call ahead and make this a definite visit if you were...
