Visit Laguardia and take the best pictures form our secret spots and enjoy local tapas for lunch. In case the Ysios winery was closed for visits (sometimes it happens as it´s a very special winery) we will upgrade you for a wine tasting in Carlos San Pedro winery with the best views over the Ysios winery and the Sierra Cantabria mountains. You will taste 4 wines paired with 3 local appetisers. And of course you will be able to take as many pictures as you want of the Ysios building! * Please be aware that these wineries experience high demand and you´ll be joining a bigger group for the winery visit

Meeting points

The meeting point is in front of the Guggenheim museum where the big red stop for the Bilbao city view Hop-on Hop-off bus is located (by the tourist information point). You will see it easy as it is very close to the Puppy flower sculpture designed by Jeff Koons.

Fun day out for Rioja wine and architecture

Published on Nov, 2024

Great day visiting 2 top vineyards, Ysios (boutique) and Marques de Riscal (large production). Marina was our wonderful guide for the day. She picked us up at the hotel and educated us on Bilbao and the Rioja on the morning drive. We had several hours at each stop and visited the medieval city of Laguardia for a pintxos lunch and short walk. We ended up on a private tour based on our schedule and really enjoyed our one on one conversations with Marina about this area of Spain and the wine industry. She was very engaging and knowledgeable. I was particularly interested in the 2 architects, Gehry and Calatrava. The buildings did not disappoint, especially Ysios. And the wine was good, too! I highly recommend this tour when in Bilbao. You will not be disappointed.

Must Do Wine Tour

Published on Oct, 2024

This is 100% a must do if you are in Bilbao. This was our first wine tour, and we couldn't have asked for a better first experience. For our tour, we first went to Marques de Riscal, where an employee took us on a tour of the campus and showed us the wine making process. We then got to taste three different types of their wines. Next, we went to Ysios with a similar agenda, trying two of their wines. Marques de Riscal and Ysios both have amazing buildings! Finally, we ended with lunch and tour of the beautiful city of Laguardia. Our tour guide, Marina, brought great energy, was very insightful, and was just a pleasure to spend the day with!

Highly recommended tour

Published on Oct, 2024

The Rioja Wine and Architecture tour was fantastic! We were a group of seven international people in a comfortable van. Our tour guide, Marina, was very friendly and highly knowledgeable about Rioja wines. We visited the wineries Marqués de Riscal and Luis Cañas, where we enjoyed guided tours, tastings, and even a delightful lunch. Ysios was unfortunately closed but we had a photo stop there as well Every aspect of the tour was thoroughly enjoyable, and we can highly recommend it!

Architecture wine tour

Published on Oct, 2024

The architecture was amazing, the tour was very good and so was the wine. The guide Marina was so friendly and helpful!

A day of beauty in Rioja

Published on Oct, 2024

Marina was a most excellent guide who made the drive fly by with her efficient manner, her extensive knowledge of the region and her cheerful disposition. The vineyards were beautiful and the tours were good. We enjoyed the wine but the beauty of Rioja as shown to us by Marina was the real star.
