Other visitors opinion on the Foodie Heaven tour
We were picked up at our hotel at 10am by Inma our wine guide for day and were then given a brief run through our itinerary. The tour consisted of visiting three different boutique wineries and and a visit to an artisanal chorizo maker where we had lunch. What separates this tour from any other is the personal relationship our guide Inma had with all the wineries we visited. You really got an intimate feel for what the winemakers were trying to convey through their products and real ” behind the scene” look. Inma had extensive knowledge on all aspects of the Rioja region and was very engaging.
The lunch at with the artisanal sausage maker was another highlight. She singlehandedly makes all her sausages herself from her own home- we sat in her back garden and enjoyed a delicious lunch as well as great company from this very interesting and passionate artisanal producer.
Book the tour…well worth the money!!
