I organized a Rioja trip for a group of 14, and the wine tour and eclipse viewing was THE highlight. We booked with Inma and Rioja Wine Trips and it could not have gone better.

Inma took us to three different winemakers, each one distinct, each producing outstanding wine in a beautiful and genuinely interesting setting. Her knowledge is deep, but what stood out even more was her passion. She's excited about these wines and these growers, and that energy carried the whole group. The people who knew wine well and the ones who didn't were all equally thrilled.

With a group this size, I needed the day to run smoothly, and it did. On top of the tour, Inma picked the perfect spot for us to watch the eclipse. Not crowded, quiet, and overlooking a stunning stretch of the valley. It was exactly what I was hoping for and better.

If you want an authentic, insider Rioja experience, book with Inma and Rioja Wine Trips. Highly recommend.

Our group took the “Wine & Architecture Rioja - Group tour.” It was amazing! Inma was a superb host and guide. She gave us a very informative view of the Rioja region. We went to 3 bodegas that highlighted different approaches to the wine process. A large corporate-type bodega, a medium-sized bodega, and a family-owned one that explores and experiments with different varieties. All the wines were very tasty and the tour ended with a wonderful home-made lunch. I loved Inma’s knowledge and sweet demeanor that made this experience so memorable. If you are in the region, look for Inma. It is well worth it!

Our group had the best time! We went on a tour of several wineries and Inma provided such a rich history of the region and the wines. We ended the tour with a Rioja inspired lunch in a quaint town and had great conversation all the way back to our hotel. Highly recommended!!!

What a lovely tour.  It was exactly what you could want from an introduction to Rioja.  The exact tour we chose was the "Wine & Architecture Rioja - Group tour". For a max of 7 people.  We were 6 people, and no-one else joined our tour that day. Inma was our guide and she was very knowledgeable and accommodating while still keeping us on track to pack in tastings at 3 wineries and a home made lunch in a quaint medieval town. My personal highlight was the tour and tasting at Marques de Riscal, which has been my favorite wine for many years and a large reason for my visit to Rioja.  The visit was made complete with tours and tastings at an ultra modern winery, and an ancient family-run winery.  I completely recommend Inma and imagine that you'll have a great time taking any of the tours available from Rioja Wine Trips.

If you are ever in the Rioja region and want a quality tour and wine tasting….look no further!
They have a number of options but we decided to do the Unusual Suspects tour - wine that is mainly sold in Spain or to high end restaurants. Wine that we could not source in the UK.
Our guide was Inma who was absolutely superb and so knowledgeable. We visited 3 wine makers and tasted many outstanding wines, who were very generous with their time and pourings! We also had a very traditional Spanish lunch with a lovely red to pair.
This is such a fantastic tour from start to finish. We were a group of 4 who all like wine, but this was by far the best tour and tasting we have ever done. Highly recommended.

Spent 2 days with Mel. Incredible experience. Saw a wide range of wineries including wineries out of people’s homes and larger facilities. Basic “hole in the wall” wineries turned into spectacular wineries with fantastic views once we entered the door.  We sat with the owners and winemakers and learned a lot.  Along the way Mel taught us all about the region and the wine. He was a wealth of information.  I would highly recommend using them and when we come back to the region, we certainly will.

We had a wonderful experience on the architecture wine tour. Our group visited four unique bodegas and learned about all stages of the wine making process, from seed to bottle. In typical La Rioja fashion, the wines that we tried were incredible.

Inma was a great host. She’s super knowledgeable and fun. And the included lunch is so special! Delicious local cuisine in a really beautiful area.

This tour was a highlight of our time in Basque Country - we highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of beeing guided by Rioja Wine Trips, visiting six wine makers a weekend in April 2026. This was an extra ordinary trip with a professional wine guide. I can definetly reccomend Inma an Rioja Wine Trips.

Inma provided us with a wonderful and unique experience, and it was the highlight of the trip. You can tell she is very thoughtful when planning your tour, and she cares about showing you the true culture of Rioja.

We had an amazing experience with Rioja Wine Trips! We did the Unusual Suspects tour, guided by Inma, and discovered three incredible winemakers who are truly rewriting the rules—plus their fabulous wines.

The tour felt personal and thoughtfully curated, with insider stories and moments you won’t find on a typical tour. Inma’s passion for Rioja, deep knowledge, and genuine connections with the winemakers made the experience extra special. We learned so much and had so much fun along the way.

Highly recommend for anyone wanting an authentic, insider Rioja experience!
