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.

Salt Valley

The Salt Valley is one of the most spectacular and best preserved inland saltworks in the world. Its value not only lies in its particular architecture or on its almost 6.500 years of history, or even in its geological features, biodiversity or landscape values, but in the union in perfect harmony of all of it in a privileged context. This Cultural Landscape is candidate to World Heritage List of the UNESCO and is listed under the Ramsar Convention as a wetland site of international importance

Reviewed By Hyoga83 - Bordeaux, France

Fascinating site, it feels like a totally different country when you are there looking at the terraces and the salt flats. The visit is really interesting, the hour flies by and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It costs 8€ and you can use the spa at the end. The site has 7000 years of continual use, until this century when salt was no longer so important for preserving food. Best moment to visit is within May and October, although if possible avoid the midday heat.

Bodegas Solar de Samaniego

Bodegas Solar de Samaniego are in Laguardia, medieval village in the heart of Rioja Alavesa and integrated in DOCa Rioja. This winery has restored its seventies architecture to become a space for wine and literature cultures, inspired by the Project Beber Entre Lineas (Drink Between the Lines). The monumental artistic intervention of muralist Guido van Helten on its old tanks has turned it into a great tourist attraction in the region.
