Other wine lovers' opinions on our Rioja wine tours
Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A class act. We completed a private day tour. Bespoke tour in every sense. They pitch the discussion to your level, from professional wine buyer to tourist interested in wine. They are very passionate about wines, history and the future of wines and have a vast array of wineries to visit. We went for the education but also just enjoyed a day drinking very fine wines. Lunch was a treat. Genuine and the real deal. Highly recommended.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent the most amazing day with Inma in the Rioja wine region. It was the highlight of our 15 days touring different areas of Spain! Inma is very educated in the wine making process, and we learned more than we could have ever expected. She took us to beautiful niche vineyards, and we were able to spend time with the managers/owners. The wines were SUPERB. Inma is so warm and friendly. She is multilingual, which is so helpful. I am recommending all of my traveling friends and family to do this tour~it is unmatched!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just completed two amazing days of wine touring with Mel from Rioja Wine Trips. Our time with Mel far exceeded any expectations we might have had about the region and its wines. We were so impressed how they took into consideration what we wanted to see and then created a perfectly curated itinerary. Mel’s knowledge of the area and the company’s relationships with world-class family-owned wineries gave us access not only to premier wines, but to the winemakers themselves. What a truly extraordinary and memorable experience!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This wine tour with Inma was a lovely adventure full of insight into the Rioja region. The whole day was planned to perfection and coordinated so the 108 degree day didn’t get in the way of enjoyment. We gained new knowledge of wines from this region and Inma answered all of our questions and explained details in digestible and entertaining ways. The whole day felt like we were with an old friend that was showing us around and sharing her passion with us. We would highly recommend this private tour with Inma it was fantastic!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful time. Inma understood what we liked and all of the wineries we visited were fantastic. Thank you!!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just spent 3 days with Inma and Mel touring 8 wineries and vineyards in the Rioja Wine region. I cannot recommend them enough. Their expertise and knowledge of this area is impressive and their passion really shines through. They have clearly built up close relationships and friendships with leading winemakers across the region and really understood our brief and what we were looking to experience. As winemakers and growers from Stopham Vineyard in Sussex, England representing our trade body Wine GB, Inma and Mel delivered an itinerary to showcase the diverse terroir in Rioja and the different approaches by winemakers in crafting world class wines. Some trying new innovative approaches like using gravity to process grapes, using more clay amphora vessels and more sustainable, biodynamic viticulture and others respecting traditional practices and wine making techniques using barrel ageing reflecting the ageing classification. There is so much to say about this tour, how engaging it was and we felt like we were getting a ‘money can’t buy’ tour, behind the scenes with winemakers in a range of wineries from smaller garage producers to larger scale wineries with a slick wine tourism offering. A lot was learnt and so many highlights! Thank you for also immersing us in the local village culture too, great restaurants and delicious Riojan dishes. An unforgettable experience. Thank you Inma and Mel 🙏🍷 Marie, Simon, Adderley and Matt (Stopham Vineyard, Sussex England)Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Inma's wine tour was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Spain. Her knowledge of wine and the region was second to none. The most special part was her perfectly curated itinerary - meeting with the actual winemakers and getting the opportunity to see some of the smaller producers was absolutely exceptional. We would recommend Inma to anyone going to Rioja!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our day trip with Inma was amazing on all counts! She brought such depth of knowledge across winemaking techniques, history of Rioja, regional philosophy, producer styles—and has excellent rapport with some truly special producers that showcase the best of the region. She customized a tour for us based on contrasting a classic scaled producer with very, very small production family producers in which the owner/winemakers guided us through the tastings personally. It was a super special day that culminated with Inma preparing a lovely Riojan lunch which was just delicious. She really over delivered on the experience. Highly recommend.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our day with Inma was the highlight of our honeymoon! We chose the Wine and Architecture Tour and Inma had us captivated all day with her incredible knowledge about the history of the region and of course the wine making process and industry. The wines we tasted were delicious and the wineries and towns we visited were beautiful and charming but the day was made because of Inma and Mel and their wonderful hospitality. Inma even provided a list of other wineries to visit in La Rioja and a detailed list of her favorite spots to hit in Madrid for the next leg of our trip. Absolutely do not miss out on the chance to have these two show off this stunningly beautiful region of Spain.
