Today is yours to explore the wineries of La Rioja. 

In the village itself is a wonderful traditional bodega where you are treated to a guided tour. From here you'll walk to the outskirts of the village and the stikingly modern Baigorri winerey - a very different aspect of Rioja's winemaking culture. 

After this visit, you will sit down for a tasting menu lunch with a view of the vines and hills beyond. 

All of this without leaving your village!
