Rioja Wine Tour from San Sebastian: 3 Wineries & Laguardia

You taste at three different wineries in a single day, from classical estates to small family-owned boutiques.

A private wine tour from San Sebastian takes you to three Rioja wineries for tastings of reds and whites, followed by a three-course lunch with wine at a local restaurant, and ends in the walled medieval town of Laguardia. The itinerary mixes traditional and modern styles, including lesser-known wines praised by locals but not widely listed elsewhere. Transportation, water and parking are included.

The experience

Laguardia sits at the heart of Rioja's wine country, and this tour builds the day around reaching three different wineries (classical estates and small family operations), where you taste 2 to 4 wines at each stop. The selection spans traditional to contemporary styles, with the guide steering you toward bottles locals favor but rarely see on export lists. You move between them in a private air-conditioned vehicle, so the tasting pace stays unhurried and the driving is handled.

Midday you break for a three-course meal at a local restaurant, wine included in each course. The afternoon takes you into Laguardia itself, a walled town of narrow cobbled streets and medieval architecture that feels removed from modern time. The full day runs nine hours from pickup in San Sebastian, with bottled water and parking fees covered.

Is this one for you?The tour runs nine hours with tastings at three stops and a meal in between, so plan for a full day away from the city. The pace is set by the wineries and the restaurant schedule, not by how fast you move.
