Bodegas La Rioja Alta, S.A.

Exceptional tour and beautiful bodegas! Sarah was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide who you can tell is really passionate about wines. Would definitely recommend to take the tour and learn about the impressive history of this winery.

Good wine on offer but hard to get attention at the wine bar. We had two glasses of Rioja at the wine bar. Staff were nice enough when serving but had to work to get their attention while they were snacking in the back aisle.

Very disappointed. It seemed they didn't care for Americans. Or maybe they only catered to people with expensive cars and designer outfits. The first building I went up to, I was literally shoed off of the porch, with a pointing finger directing me to the correct tasting room. The servers spoke English but did not explain anything, and I was left not knowing how to proceed. Maybe I'm used to the tasting rooms in the US, but the service was very disappointing. I had come to the area specifically to try their wines and ended up leaving without anything. Do not recommend for the casual tourist wanting to increase their wine knowledge and palate. Two stars because the grounds and buildings were beautiful.

Lovely, history-filled bodega. We did a special wine tasting where they poured older vintages of their 904 and Arana wines (2015, 2016 and 1997). A real treat. My only feedback would be for the wine tour guide to be a bit more mindful of senior citizens on the tour and check in to see if they are doing alright walking along the many stairs and steps - we were often falling behind with my grandma and it would have been nice to perhaps find a shortcut for her or slow down the overall walking pace of the group just a bit so that we weren't lost all the time trying to keep up. 🙏

Sarah was warm and welcoming as were the other staff even though I arrived barely 45 mins before the closing time on Sundays, 3pm. Amazing 1997, 2004 of course and the latest 2015 vintages of the 904 Gran Reserva. The half plate of Jamon at 13 Eur was delicious too. What an experience and yes.. they do well back vintages too unlike other bodegas. Just ask! Thanks to Guillermo and Sarah for this experience.

Nice visit. Beautiful property with some quality wines. Not buzzed enough to get the 57 euro glass to see how much better it is than the 904 reserva...

There is a reception and shopping section in an authentic and historical building and a wine bar and sales section in the opposite building "El Garage Del Club De Cosecheros", garden was attentive and enjoyable. We had "Discovering La Rioja Alta Tour". Our guide was diligent and knowledgeable, but he seemed a little nervous at the beginning. After a nice tour, before starting the tasting, my request for water was met with surprise, she took care of it. But she couldn't find it. All the wines except Gran Reserva 904 1997 were of decent quality. The age of this wine deserves respect, but the fruit had abandoned it years ago. Vina Alberdi was very fruity and had good balance, Vina Ardanza and Vina Arana were perfect examples of Rioja. As I couldn't understand 904 and would like to meet with 890 we passed to wine bar building. Gran reserva 904 2015 was amazing and has great capacity for aging. Gran reserva 890 2010 was also complex and elegant, long aging capacity but little pricy. It was a very satisfied visit and I recommend everyone.

Haro, the region in La Rioja is full of wineries. We paid €20 for the experience and got really good insights. 3 glasses of wine is included. And at the end you can have 1 extra glass of your favorite wine. 🍷

Absolutely love this winery right in the train station area. You have to try the Viña Araña Gran Reserva 2015. What a beautiful wine! Lovely tasting room, too!
