Great private wine tour - My husband and I really enjoyed the wine tour with Matteo. He knows a lot about wine and we loved the bodegas he took us to. It was nice because it was a private tour and we got to see more of the wine making process. We enjoyed the tour so much we have booked with him again for our upcoming trip!

Fantastic Day - My husband and I prefer doing private tours, so we booked this wine tour and were very happy with it. Our tour guide picked us up at the arranged time at our hotel. The transportation was very comfortable and our driver drove in a safe manner. We drove through the countryside and saw the Rioja Wine region and he explained as we were traveling. We visited two wineries which were both extremely different. The first one, Lozano, was my favorite because we saw the vineyards and had a tour of the winery. We even had a chance to pick a few grapes and sample. After the detailed tour of the winery and learning a lot about the Rioja region and the wines, we tasted several different wines and had a few local foods. We then went to the second winery which was much different and were able to sample a few of their wines. All of the wines we sampled at both wineries were very good, but of course, some were better! After the wineries, we visited a small town with an amazing view of the countryside. There we walked through town and stopped at a local eatery where we were treated to a fantastic lunch, again with some local treats. Our guide was absolutely fantastic. He delivered us back to our hotel safely. I highly recommend this tour if you like wine and private tours!

Beautiful scenery and relaxing wine tastings in Rioja - Matteo was personable and very knowledgeable on the Rioja region. He was on time picking us up from Bilbao. We really enjoyed the wineries that Matteo selected for us and lunch in Laguardia was great. We would highly recommend Matteo as a guide to others.

Like an old friend sharing their favorite places - Mateo’s tour to the Rioja wine region was a fun, casual experience, like an old friend sharing their favorite places. His knowledge of the region and friendly personality makes him easy to talk to as you ride through the countryside. The visited wineries are chosen carefully and give you a taste of traditional Rioja wine as well as the emerging non-traditional wine that have a personality as interesting as their makers. Finally, the lunch of local Pintxos and walk through the nearby town was a wonderful end to the day. Never in a hurry, we got to appreciate the architecture as Mateo shared his knowledge of the history of the town and region. In the short amount of time we had, Mateo became a fast friend and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him the next time we’re in the Basque region of Spain. ¡Gracias por todo mi amigo!
