Rioja Vignerons Artisanal Tour
Meet the independent winemakers
The Vignerons Tour is an invitation to experience Rioja through the people who shape it by hand.
Focused on Rioja vignerons, this journey highlights the work of independent growers and winemakers whose approach is rooted in vineyards, family heritage, and personal vision. It offers a closer, more human perspective on the region, where wine is understood through dialogue and place rather than scale.
Visits centre on small wineries in Rioja, where guests are welcomed into cellars and vineyards to better understand daily work, decisions, and philosophy. Tastings are guided with clarity and context, allowing wines to be appreciated as expressions of both land and individual craftsmanship.
