Road trip 02: vineyards of La Rioja

By

Route 2 is a trip through the most famous wine-making region in Spain, La Rioja.

On day one, after Logroño we will reach Haro, the self-appointed capital of the La Rioja wine region, with the highest concentration of wineries of La Rioja. We end up the day in Laguardia, a beautiful village forming part the Rioja Alavesa region.

On day two, we drive to jewel of the region, spectacular Laguardia. There is time to visit a state-of-the arte winery, Ysios, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, and also a trip to the pre-history of the La Rioja.

Day three is the end of the trip. We will visit a winery located in the underground of Laguardia, wander around the cute village of Elciego and end the trip in great style visiting world-famous Marqués de Riscal winery and hotel, designed by Frank Gehry.
