Itinerary
We usually start our day with a tour and a tasting just outside the city Haro where a cluster of wineries have been crushing grapes for well over a hundred years. It's a brisk 90 minute drive from San Sebastián with stunning views and Haro will not disappoint with classic Rioja hospitality.
We'll drive through the countryside throughout the day passing by centuries old villages and vineyards. Depending on the day, and your preferences, we'll stop at a unique winery for a tasting and lunch.
Laguardia is a medieval walled city that is truly spectacular and not to be missed. It's locals only in this unique city, boasting a labyrinth of cobble streets and spectacular views of La Rioja. Oh, there's wine too! Hidden underground in the walls of the city are caverns for storing AND MAKING wines. We'll be sure to visit one of these traditional wineries for a truly old school experience. If we don't have lunch at a winery we'll be sure to do it here in Laguardia the unofficial capitol of La Rioja!

About San Sebastián
San Sebastián, or Donostia, is a Basque seaside city around a shell-shaped bay, with a golden beach, a hilltop fort and a pintxo scene known across Spain.
San Sebastián curves around La Concha Bay, a near-perfect shell-shaped inlet with a white-railed promenade and a sheltered city beach. Monte Urgull guards the east end with an old fort, and Monte Igueldo, at the west end, has a funicular and a viewpoint. The Parte Vieja, the old town, was rebuilt after the fire of 1813 and is packed with bars and a baroque basilica.
Top-ranked sights in San Sebastián: San Sebastian Old Town (Parte Vieja Donostiarra), La Concha Beach (Playa de la Concha), Constitution Square (Plaza de la Constitución).
