The itinerary includes a winery, exploring the various underground cellars that have been in use since the 16th century, and enjoying an evening in an authentic Spanish village.
The Ribera del Duero is one of the biggest wine-producing regions in Spain, famous for its stunning landscapes and unspoiled villages.

On the third day, you will make your way north to Bilbao. But on the way to the city, we’ll visit the Marques de Riscal. This winery was named the second-best vineyard in 2022 and is credited with transforming Rioja into a modern wine region producing high-quality wines. Renowned architect Frank Gehry designed the building by combining the region’s winemaking tradition with Avante Garde designs. After this, you’ll be departing to Bilbao, where you’ll stay at one of the best hotels in the area.
