Riojatrek - Wine tours — Local services in Logroño

We just had two fantastic days touring the Rioja wine region with Rodrigo from Rioja Trek wine tours. This was planned ahead for about 6 months and I had several email conversations with Rodrigo prior to arriving in Rioja. We stayed in Logrono so that is where Rodrigo picked us up and dropped us off each day. The first day we spent in Rioja Alta. We visited three wineries and had a great pinxos lunch. Day two had a similar set up but it was is Rioja Alavesa north of the Ebro River and in Basque Country. Between the 6 wineries we visited we experienced a wide varieties of style and POV. Rodrigo was very friendly, personal, and knowledgeable about wine. I consider him a friend now. I can’t wait to return to Rioja for some more wine touring with Rodrigo.

We went to a restaurant in a small village, a small restaurant in a hotel, and the last day tapas hopping with selected wines in Logrono.

Spent the full day on the wine tour with the amazing Rodrigo, to explore the area, taste some wine, and learn about Rioja. The variety of wineries we visited, from very traditional (like a living museum) to very modern and innovative meant there was always something interesting to see and learn (and taste!).

We would definitely come back and do another tour, and recommend to anyone who wants a different kind of holiday experience (helps if you’re into wine).

But the thing that really made the day was Rodrigo himself - right from the start it was just like meeting with an old friend for a few drinks and a chat. The time flew by, and it just made the day even more special. Thank you so much Rodrigo - if you ever want to visit the UK and watch Liverpool,...
