Taste the wines of Rioja

Wine culture shapes the landscapes and heritage of Rioja and is intrinsic to the region’s identity. In autumn, the vineyards paint the landscape red. Not far from Ezcaray, discover Haro, the wine capital of Rioja, where the Barrio de la Estación is home to some of the oldest wineries in Spain. A little further afield, Briones houses the Vivanco Wine Museum, while in Elciego, the spectacular Cité du Vin Marqués de Riscal, designed by Frank Gehry, stands out against the traditional tiled roofs.
