The Spectator Club Tour to Rioja
La Rioja, Spain
tbc nights from £tbc per person
La Rioja is a diverse region of rolling countryside where picturesque villages cluster around monasteries and churches, and it is also the most important vine growing area of Spain. Our new spring tour with Jonathan Ray is based in one of the most charming villages in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, north of the Ebro River, and includes delicious Basque cuisine and visits to some of the finest winemakers in Rioja, from historic family bodegas which have been producing wines for more than a century, to innovative new winemakers who are producing some of the most exciting wines in the country.

La Rioja, Spain
A visually stunning example of contemporary architecture, this is unlike anything we’ve encountered before. It is made up of a series of irregularly positioned cubes that appear to balance precariously on top of one another and these form a stunning contrast with the surrounding traditional buildings of the tiny hamlet of Villabuena de Alava.
