Itinerary

La Rioja

We’ll explore the heart of the Rioja region, including the charming town of Laguardia—often called “the wine capital.” Steeped in history, Laguardia has preserved its original medieval character, with narrow cobbled streets, stone walls, and a timeless atmosphere that transports visitors back in time. Our visit continues with a guided tour and wine tasting at a local winery, where you’ll learn about Rioja’s winemaking traditions.
