"Located within the Marqués de Riscal City of Wine in a unique hotel overflowing with design, imagination and creativity and designed by the famous architect Frank O. Gehry. The estate was also recognised as the best vineyard in Europe in 2021.Beneath the spectacular curved roof of pink, gold and silver titanium that represent the red of the wine, the golden hue of the wire mesh decorating Marqués de Riscal’s bottles, and the gold colour of their capsules, discover innovative cuisine with a constant nod to tradition. The cuisine of chef Francis Paniego, who keeps a watchful eye on everything here, is centred on two tasting menus with different numbers of courses (Tierra 7 Ideas and Tierra 10 Ideas). Both share the same appetisers and seek their inspiration in the hills of the Rioja region and in its seasonal local ingredients." - Michelin Inspector
"There’s an architecture arms race afoot in the Rioja wine country, with buildings by the likes of Zaha Hadid and Santiago Calatrava now joined by one from the Basque country’s adopted son, Frank Gehry. Originally intended just as a corporate headquarters for the Marquès de Riscal, the building proved to be too special not to share — so now it’s open to the paying public, as one of the most unique winery hotels in the world." - Mark Fedeli
