THE TRIPS
Four unforgettable days in the heart of Spain's most celebrated wine region.
Discover hidden wineries, scenic hiking trails and authentic local culture during an intimate small-group journey through Rioja.
Is this for you?
Four unforgettable days where hiking trails lead to vineyards, every meal becomes a moment to remember and every glass of wine comes with a story. ‘
Discover Rioja through its landscapes, its people and its wines, together with a small group of fellow travelers.
Discover. Explore. Connect
Explore Rioja beyond the vineyards on two carefully selected hikes. From scenic trails through rolling landscapes to a mountain summit overlooking the border with the Basque Country, every walk reveals the nature, views and unique microclimates that make this region so special.
Meet the families behind Rioja’s wines during visits to carefully selected wineries. Hear their stories, explore traditional cellars and enjoy guided tastings that showcase generations of craftsmanship, local passion and the character of one of Spain’s most celebrated wine regions.
We love starting the day with breakfast in the mountains with the best view possible. Later, we’ll trade simplicity for indulgence during a memorable five-course Rioja lunch, celebrating the region through every bite and every glass.
Our home for three nights is a beautiful villa in Ollauri, complete with a private pool, spacious garden, barbecue and comfortable shared bedrooms. The perfect place to relax, share stories and unwind together after each day of hiking and wine.
