We had a private wine tour of the La Rioja region with Marta (our guide) and Inyaki (the driver). We visited 3 wineries and had a marvelous multi-course lunch, did some sight-seeing and picture taking, as well as learning a lot about the region. Before long it felt as though we were traveling with friends rather than professional guides, they were so very warm and friendly. The company was easy to work with, very accommodating and understanding when we had a last minute change. This was not an inexpensive tour, but the experience was first-class from start to finish and very much worth it. Highly recommended!

Thabuca Rioja wine tour was fabulous! The chauffeur was such a gem. He provided so many wonderful insights about the country prior to meeting our guide. He really knows how to pamper his guests as you travel from one vineyard to the next. Once in Rioja, our guide was very knowledgeable about the wineries, the Rioja area and the culture. The three vineyards we visited gave us a opportunity to sample some terrific wines. The tasting menu for lunch was exceptional with gracious hosts. Realizing we needed a break after eating, they planned a little tour of the area. The day went fast. We would do this tour again and perhaps sample other vineyards....there are tons!
