Highlights
  • Haro - The Barrio de la Estación de Haro is known for the many wineries that were built here, close to the railroad tracks in order to transport wine barrels more easily. Here we’ll visit a wonderful 100-year old winery where we’ll taste a selection of its best wines, from the most classic to the most young and daring, aligned with the latest and most revolutionary trends. Wine is not the only magical liquid that’s produced in these lands. As Rioja is also one of the northernmost points in Spain where the country’s liquid gold (olive oil) is produced, we’ll do a tasting of a delicious extra virgin olive oil (here we call it AOVE, the acronym for aceite de oliva virgen extra in Spanish).

Additional Information

Small towns and vineyards. Vineyards and small towns. It’s all about exploring the former and savoring the latter.

A plan of this nature is simply flawless.

Amazing Rioja tour with a terrific guide and company! - What a wonderful organization - so helpful and professional! Mark was our guide and did such a terrific job sharing his knowledge of the Basque Region and it's history. An extra bonus was his love of his job. He was so enthusiastic, had a lovely sense of humour and a great relationship with the various people we met on our tour. The countryside was spectacular, and each winery had something special to enjoy. We enjoyed the wine tastings so much that we requested wines from these vineyards at other restaurants during our stay - and very successfully! The highlight was a delicious multi-course lunch offering such great food from the region. Mark also had some really great recommendations for the rest of our visit in San Sebastian. This was a terrific way to get familiar with the countryside, and Basque food and wine - and Mark was a stellar guide. We loved our tour!

Intersting and educational - The tour included a variety of wineries - old, traditional and modern. This was interesting as it gave offered a good all rounded view of the Rioja wineries. Our guide Ania, was truly amazing. She was not only knowledgeable as to the regions wines, but also gave us some historical facts about the Basque country which was very interesting. The lunch was also nice.

Tour so good we did it twice! - This is our second time using Ania and the Ikusnahi team for the full-day Rioja wine tour. I highly recommend the team because: - They are professional prior to, during, and post event - They have timely communication - Find wineries that are doing unique things - Give you a diverse set of wineries to see the spectrum. Each of our two tours we did 3 different wineries, and they were all different. We appreciated the variety. - Give you an amazing history of the region so you have more context - Comfortable and nice transportation I could go for hours of how much we enjoyed our experiences with Ania. We will hope go back to Spain next year and we will def take another Ikusnahi tour.

An exception day in the vines in a beautiful region. A life highlight. - Full day tour from San Sebastian to the Rioja wine region. We had the same tour guide as our last tour with this company and we couldn't be happier. Another great time. Markle looked after us and gave us great info and conversation throughout the day. Wines were special and I now know so much more about this area. Would recommend this trip to anyone wanting a day out of the city with great views, great sights great wines and food. A truly memorable experience.

Up up and away in Rioja - Had an amazing day with Ania. It started with a floating balloon experience (Arcoiris Visajes Globo) with clear blue skies and stunning views. This was a highlight of our trip!!! After we toured a couple of wineries (Rioja Alta & Torre de Ona) where we learnt a wealth of information about the region and the wine making in Spain. We ended with an incredible lunch experience at Alia rest. If you want to have an exceptional learning of the area by a remarkable guide we highly recommend Ania. We highly recommend Ikusnahi.com

Amazing food, wine and the best guide ever - Absolutely wonderful tour. Markel was so knowledgeable about so many topics and a great storyteller. We learned so much about the area and the Basque culture and enjoyed every minute. I can’t say enough good things about the experience, we loved every minute. The scenery was amazing, the food was terrific, and the wine was fantastic. The tour itself was great but Markel as our guide made it memorable. I would definitely recommend requesting him, our group loved Markel!
