Rioja
Located in northern Spain, La Rioja is one of the most prestigious of all the Spanish wine regions. It is divided into three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Baja with the most famous bodegas located in Alta and Alavesa.
Rioja appeals, not just for producing some of the finest wines in Spain, but also for the contrast between traditional and modern wineries that can be found here. Visit a historic bodega built on a farm, part of a medieval monastery that still produces its wine using the most traditional methods, then continue on to another that employs state-of-the-art wine technology in a building that is a work of modern art in itself.
Highlights
Experience local festivals: Rioja is home to several festivals and celebrations throughout the year, such as the Batalla del Vino in Haro, where participants douse each other in wine.
Surrounded by nature: Rioja is spoiled by beautiful natural landscapes, including the Sierra de Cantabria mountain range, the Laguna Negra nature reserve and the Ebro River.

We just had an amazing trip to France/Spain to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary. I want to thank Into the Vineyard as they picked wonderful spots for us to stay along with some amazing adventures.
Brad Janitz -
Hands down, the trip of a lifetime! My husband and I booked a two-week trip to France with Into the Vineyard, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Colin worked closely with us to understand our preferences before the trip and then custom-curated our itinerary based on that. Everywhere we went was absolutely amazing, and the fact all of the research, planning, and booking was done for us alleviated a lot of stress.
Heather Hale -
My Husband & I just returned from a 2 week trip planned by INTO THE VINEYARD. This trip of a lifetime far exceeded our expectations...The properties we stayed at we loved & the guides were welcoming and had so much knowledge that they passed on to us. Thank you to Colin & his team for this unforgettable trip.
Bea “Bibi” Myerson -
This was the second tour my wife and I have arranged through Into The Vineyard, and like the first tour, it delivered everything we had hoped for and more. Yes, a 3-week custom trip with high end accommodations and extensive use of personal guides along the way is expensive, but in our opinion worth the cost as long as it provides the desired experiences. Providing those experiences is what Into The Vineyard excels at.
