Customer Reviews
We loved the Rioja Like a Native wine experience. From descending into historic caves to learn about the wine aging process to eating a home-cooked meal at a family winery, you truly get to experience the real wine culture of the region. Rebeca, Robert, and Fito are excellent hosts and guides!
A Masterclass in Ribera del Duero, Led by Someone Who Truly Loves It We took this private Ribera del Duero wine tour in late November and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We were picked up directly from our hotel in Burgos and spent the day visiting three very different wineries, capped off with a memorable spit-roasted leg of lamb served in an old castle. What stood out most was how thoughtfully the wineries were selected. Each visit was clearly customized to the type of wine experience and purchasing interest I had. The three wineries differed in style, production approach, history, and price point, yet together they gave a well-rounded understanding of Tempranillo and Ribera del Duero as a whole. It felt intentional rather than formulaic. The day ran from about 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and because it was just my wife and me, the pace was relaxed and personal. Our driver and guide, Jaime, truly made the experience exceptional. We’ve done wine tours in Argentina, Uruguay, and other parts of Spain, and this ranked among the best—largely because of him. Jaime clearly loves what he does and is a natural educator. He’s deeply proud of Spain and shared insightful context about Spanish history, culture, and wine throughout the day, which added real depth to the experience. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore beyond the more well-known Rioja region. Ribera del Duero is more rural and feels less traveled, which was part of its charm. This would be especially appealing to serious Ribera del Duero wine fans, honeymooners, or anyone interested in learning more about wine in an immersive, unhurried way. Communication and payment were both easy and straightforward from start to finish. Highly recommended.
Thanks to Rebeca and team - Robert, Fito, and Enrique - for a great 6-day tour of Rioja, Ribera del Duero wines and Basque Country exploration. The winery visits were a premium experience - just our group of 4 people spending time with the wine makers, their families, and having gourmet dining experiences in the wineries was amazing. Having toured many wineries in France, Italy and the States, we enjoyed learning about the customs and practices that make Rioja and Ribera wines distinct and delicious. The small group experience allowed us to visit unique wineries and understand more of the wine making history in the area in ways you could not do with a large group... We visited wineries in local caves, experimental wineries, and explored locations off the beaten path on top of visits to leading wineries in the area. Our group liked the concept booking our own hotels, based on Rebeca's recommendations, to allow our group to control this part of our experience. We also enjoyed spending time at Rebeca and Roberts home as friends for a local meal and sampling their family wines. This was a week of great experiences not to be missed.
