About La Rioja
La Rioja is Spain's most prestigious wine region, where Tempranillo grapes thrive in limestone soils producing wines of legendary quality. The region spans from the Ebro River to Sierra de Cantabria mountains, and hundreds of bodegas (wineries) welcome visitors. The landscape is pastoral—vineyards climbing hillsides, stone villages, and an atmosphere of wine-making tradition that dates back centuries. The food is heartily Spanish.
