During the grape harvest, the usual tours of the Familia Martínez Bujanda wineries include special activities that allow visitors to experience one of the most important moments of the wine-growing year in a direct and hands-on way. At Finca Valpiedra, in La Rioja, visitors can taste the grapes straight from the vine or freshly picked, and also sample the first must, thereby gaining an understanding of the journey the fruit takes from the vineyard to its transformation into wine. We’ll tour Finca Valpiedra and learn about the winemaking process, taste the freshly picked grapes, sample the first must of the season, and round off the visit with a wine tasting and light refreshments.
Beronia, the D.O.Ca. Rioja winery founded over 50 years ago by a group of friends united by their passion for wine, gastronomy and shared moments, presents a new edition of Viña House, an event that combines wine, music and experiences in a unique setting. Following the success of its first edition, Viña House returns to Beronia to once again transform the winery into a meeting point for wine, music and the landscape.
11 September: Astronomy event with telescope viewing and wine tasting in La Rioja, Finca Valpiedra: A Night Under the Stars: A Journey Through the Universe. Exploring the sky through a telescope is a mind-blowing experience. Seeing Saturn’s rings with your own eyes will leave you speechless. But, thanks to a huge telescope, you’ll also be able to see nebulae, star clusters and distant galaxies. Our stargazing session will be accompanied by a Star Tour, a guided tour of the night sky in which an astronomer will show us the most important stars and constellations, recounting their stories, legends and myths, and teaching us how to recognise them in the sky. ‘A Night Under the Stars: A Journey Through the Universe’ programme includes: 7.00 pm Welcome 7.15 pm Tour, wine tasting and aperitif (water and grape juice for children) 8.30 pm Sunset 21:00 – 22:30 Telescope viewing and astronomy talk Bus option from Logroño at 18:30. Please contact the winery. An evening to lose yourself among the stars, discover the universe and let the magic of the sky envelop you. The activity will only take place if the minimum number of participants is reached.
Unlike a conventional tour, this experience is designed for small groups (maximum 15 people), allowing visitors to gain access to the winery’s working areas whilst they are in full operation and to experience the winemaking process from the inside. The main attraction of the tour is that participants will be able to taste the wine at different stages of its development, gaining an understanding of how it is transformed from grape to bottle: The first must, freshly pressed after the grape harvest. The wine fresh from the fermentation tank, still developing. The wine during its ageing in oak barrels, revealing how the wood influences its character. To finish, you’ll taste two premium wines paired with a Riojan appetiser. All this will be accompanied by explanations from our team and will conclude with an appetiser of Riojan cured meats.
