• 5Simply spectacular!

  A spectacular day with friends. And not only the friends we came with but the friends we made - Fito, Rebeca and Roberto. Along with Juan from Diez de Corral and Carolina from Lecea. We learned and experienced the great agricultural and history of La Rioja. A beautiful blend of education, history and family warmth. Excellent wines and a home cooked meal. A meaningful day. Don’t miss out on this opportunity.

• 5An excellent wine tour with a knowledgable guide

  The Rioja Like a Native tour was a great experience! From the beginning our guide was friendly, engaging and knowledgable about wine. We visited multiple vineyards and tasted wines from producers at different scales including tasting the family wine from the tour organizer, Rebeca. The home-cooked meal was excellent and even tried drinking wine from a porrón. If you want a stress free way to have a great time in La Rioja, book this tour!

• 5Great tour!!!

  We had an absolute blast with Rioja Like a Native! Frito was fantastic—super knowledgeable about the local wines, food, history, and culture, and being from the area himself gave us a perspective you just can’t get from a typical tour. We loved the variety of the wineries and how each one offered something different. The day felt authentic and never touristy, with plenty of great wine and interesting stories along the way. We also had an awesome lunch in a small local town where we were clearly the only English-speaking people there. It was one of those moments that made the experience feel truly local—and exactly what we were hoping for. Frito was fun, relaxed, and clearly loves Rioja. If you want to experience Rioja beyond the typical tourist stops, drink great wine, and have a genuinely local experience, this is the tour to take.

• 5Fantastic and Unique Wine Tour

  We loved our two-day wine tour! The owner Rebeca put together an excellent itinerary which included many unique experiences, like touring a winery with caves beneath, and touring another winery that has their own coopery which we saw in action. Our guide Fito was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and we learned a lot winemaking in Rioja. The wine tastings were all excellent and lunch each day was a delicious homemade local meal. We cannot overstate how fantastic our experience was!

• 5Outstanding day with Rebeca in Rioja

  This was an outstanding day in Rioja for my wife, daughter, son-in-law, and me. Rebeca was our guide and is just outstanding. We visited several family wineries, enjoying personal tours with the owners explaining their wine making process and of course imbibing their various wines. Rebeca provided us a wonderful lunch with, of course, more wine, and this from her family winery. The day was finished off with a wine tasting in the wine room which was a lot of fun, and educational. This day long tour with Rebeca was indeed the highlight of our trip to Rioja. It is a bit expensive, but most definitely worth it. I highly recommend it.

About Pamplona

Pamplona is the capital of Navarre in northern Spain, a walled city known for the running of the bulls at the San Fermín festival and for pintxos.

Pamplona stands on the plain of Navarre, with the Pyrenees to the north, and its old quarter is ringed by walls and the star-shaped Ciudadela, a sixteenth-century fortress now a park. The Gothic cathedral has a fine cloister, and the Plaza del Castillo, with its cafés and arcades, is the city's meeting place. Pamplona lies on the Camino de Santiago, and pilgrims pass through its streets before heading west.
