Ruta del Vino Rioja Alta
Discover Logroño Underground. What if this Saturday you dare to discover Logroño in a different way? Calado invites us to travel back in time and discover the secrets that the capital of La Rioja holds under the ground. Stories, legends, illustrious characters and curiosities that have shaped this city over time. “Walk along part of the stage of the Pilgrim’s Way to Santiago de Compostela as it passes through the city. Visit a house-museum built in the old city wall with the best private collection of Rioja wines. Visit a 16th century winery and learn how wine was originally made in the city of Logroño. And to finish in the best way, taste three wines from this region paired with three Riojan products in an underground cellar, one of the oldest in the city”.
We propose an introduction to wine pairing with Alina Castro. A tasting of 4 of our wines specially selected by the sommelier of the family, for a perfect pairing with an exquisite selection of gourmet tapas that will delight our visitor in an incredible environment that will turn this moment into the best experience.
Bodegas Zinio has prepared a very special summer, different and full of activities. Don’t hesitate, it’s time to enjoy a glass of wine, warmth and music in Uruñuela. Events:
We invite you to visit the most spectacular garden of our winery, where time seems to stand still. Book your table with your friends and enjoy a wine experience in the best company, with music in the background under a spectacular starry sky. There is no excuse, just 15 minutes from Logroño and you can use the intercity bus that leaves you at the door of the winery.
The Würth Museum, a cultural reference in La Rioja, offers us the possibility of a guided visit -with the Covid protocol- of the painter Pathos. We came to Agoncillo to enjoy this marvellous museum. The work of the artist Christopher Lehmpfuhl (Berlin, 1972) is a journey through the history of painting. Heir to the impressionist daring, he paints directly in outdoor spaces regardless of weather conditions. We loved it, we hope you will too. By courtesy of the Würth Museum, the activity is free of charge. Limited number of people. Reservations are required at the winery. Afterwards, in a nearby place we will have a VALENCISO and enjoy a summer afternoon with new friends who share the same hobby: art.
On Wednesday 18 August, a sensory tasting of world wines will take place in Ezcaray at La Arboleda del Sur del Echaurren, led by Juan José Muñoz Espinosa. Trained at the Basque Culinary Center, he continued his studies in London to complete the WSET Diploma, working in prestigious restaurants. We will taste four wines from different and outstanding wine regions to learn how to interpret them, in a way that will help us to better understand the attractive world of wine. We will discover the most important points to take into account when tasting quality wines. In addition, we will learn tools to be able to make better purchasing decisions in the future.
Ollauri is a small village with a wine tradition full of history where Bodegas VALENCISO is located. Get to know its history in a guided tour by Mercedes Pascual and a night visit to the winery with Luis Valentín and Carmen Enciso enjoying its beautiful lighting. Afterwards we will have a snack and enjoy our wines.
Luis Valentín will lead the interesting tasting. We will take a stroll through Spain enjoying great whites. Luis, passionate about the world of wine, has given numerous tastings with Grandes Pagos and at the University of La Rioja. The change in quality white wines in Spain has been impressive. Also the Rioja whites fermented in barrels enjoy national and international prestige. In VALENCISO we have achieved very high scores in specialised guides with our white wine. Of course, it will also be at the tasting!
