About this experience
Enjoy a premium day with our wine-tasting tour from Bilbao to La Rioja, designed to savour Rioja wines at their source and understand why this land, cultivated since Roman times, is a byword for excellence. With a local guide and private transport, visit two different wineries (one in the Bilingual group option), one small, one mid-sized—to compare traditional methods and modern innovations, stroll among barrels, and enjoy a guided tasting to identify notes of red fruit, vanilla, and spices. The tour continues in medieval Laguardia with cobbled streets, vineyard views, underground cellars, and a light pintxos lunch paired with local wines (vegetarian and gluten-free options available). No expertise needed, just curiosity, good company, and a taste for Rioja’s finest. Small groups and flexible options make it perfect for solo travellers too. *Private experience option available.

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
La Rioja wines and Laguardia tour from Bilbao: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bilbao.
How much does La Rioja wines and Laguardia tour from Bilbao cost?
+
Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bilbao usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does La Rioja wines and Laguardia tour from Bilbao take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bilbao is not rushed.
Is La Rioja wines and Laguardia tour from Bilbao worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 124 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Bilbao, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule La Rioja wines and Laguardia tour from Bilbao?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is La Rioja wines and Laguardia tour from Bilbao suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book La Rioja wines and Laguardia tour from Bilbao?
+
Around 43 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bilbao can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bilbao and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does La Rioja wines and Laguardia tour from Bilbao start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bilbao within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bilbao?
+
On Outty we rank every Bilbao experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Award-Winning Bilbao Food Tour & Wine Pairing by Basque Local, Dragonstone, Mundaka and Guernica from Bilbao, The Authentic Bilbao Pintxos, Food & Wine Tour with a Local. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bilbao?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bilbao?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
