Summary: Our all-day wine excursion with Rioja Like A Native was absolutely fantastic!! Robert, our guide, gave us just the right amount of information on the region’s history & wines. The private winery tours took us into the cellars, the production areas, the fields, and the tasting rooms. Everyone was so open & generous with their time & sharing their personal stories. Rebeca (co-owner of RLAN with Robert) prepared a delicious lunch for us & was our point-of-contact before arriving. The blind-tasting after lunch was great fun. If you’re going on a wine tour in Rioja, Rioja Like A Native is the only way to go. It’s worth every penny & we’d go again in a heartbeat!

Summary: It’s full day and might seem pricey but it’s the most enjoyable wine tour we’ve ever experienced. Robert and Rebecca are just the most knowledgeable and gracious hosts you could imagine. The two wineries were at the extremes. One hundreds of years old, family owned and small. The other is newish and high tech. Both gave great tours and fabulous wine with healthy pours. At the end there is wonderful surprise lunch. If you’re going to book a tour, this is the one. Thank you so much Rebecca and Robert!
