Casa Primicia is the oldest civil building in the medieval town of Laguardia, the place where the Church received the taxes of the peasants since the XV Century, the first winery in Rioja Alavesa. Visiting Casa Primicia you will discover the true history of wine in Rioja and you will be amazed by our incredible caves digged 900 years before where we keep our best secret; our wine.

What a beautiful bodega! We had a wonderful tour and tasting here. They made us feel welcome and safe. Our guide Juan gave a very in-depth and knowledgable tour of the cellars in English. The tastings were great, with extra nibbles. A must visit if you are in LaGuardia, would recommend to all. It’s tucked away just inside the town walls with incredible 11th century cellars.

We went to the park to enjoy the park, nature and the Belen. Three wise kings to take pictures with and share the spirit of Christmas. Really nice park to walk, shame it was so cold!

Reviewed By Dyegourmet
We joined a tour given in Spanish but were handed audio guides in English which worked very well.This was an extremely interesting and well researched tour, taking you down into the crypt and showing the area beneath the vast cathedral pillars, explaining the history of the site, the building itself and the necessary work (currently 20 years - and running) which has taken place to stabilise it for the future. It seems that 1960s renovations weren't too helpful. The tour takes visitors (who must don fetching hair covers and hard hats) into the body of the cathedral, up to the triforium and the parapet and into the bell towers before finishing with a visit to the portico and the beautiful set of arches. Don't scorn the hard hats. Some of the arches you pass beneath are very low and it would be all too easy to graze or thump you head. It's not advisable if you suffer from vertigo - and some of it would be tough-going if you can't climb stairs easily. However, some areas are accessible by lift and I noticed one elderly visitor who had negotiated parts of the tour this way. Don't miss this tour. It's unique, informative and extremely professionally presented.

This is a very impressive tour. The art and architecture is superb. The lady at the office where you get the tickets speaks Spanish and not much else. Someone in your group needs to understand the language for the tour.

What a treat it was! Amazing modern building with terrace for the best views of the vineyards, wine tasting, welcoming staff - just perfect! We tried BAI Gorri Ke Garage 2015 and BAI Gorri La Quintanilla - both fantastic velvety and smooth reds to remember forever. It is only 5€ per person to try three different wines, not cheap and of superb quality. A steal! The winery had a wonderful shop to buy the BAI Gorri wines and lovely souvenirs.

My husband and I booked the English wine tour and were not disappointed. Erica, our tour guide spoke excellent English, so language was not a barrier. It was so much fun to go down into the caves--really created a wonderful ambiance. She explained their procedures, shared interesting background details, and allowed us up on the ladder to look into the cement tank. Loved the way she explained the "before and after" aging information on the flavors of the wine. Erica gave ample pours with perfect "pacing" of the four wines we tried. We ordered a case of their red wine to be shipped back to Washington State, and it arrived quickly (three weeks) and in perfect shape. We would highly recommend this wine tour adventure--it's very different from what you would experience in the US.
