A perfect day in the Rioja Valley
We had a wonderful day in Rioja with Adria in mid-August. (I am not sure I have spelled his name correctly.) We did “A day in wine country: from Bilbao to La Rioja two-winery tour”. Adria picked us up in front of our Bilbao hotel and we felt comfortable with him from the start. He had a wealth of information to share about Basque country and Basque culture, and was very knowledgeable about the history of wine making in the Rioja Valley. Our planned wineries were to the east of the Ebro River, so in the Basque part of the valley. We had excellent experiences at the two family wineries we visited, including tours and excellent tastings. We were there on a quiet weekday, so nothing was crowded. At one winery we did our tasting with one other couple, and at the other with a group of three women. It was fun to meet some other travelers and a small group made the wine tastings more interesting. We even splurged and purchased case of a Rioja Blanco we knew we’d never find at home. After the wineries, we went to the little hilltop town of Laguardia for a light lunch. (We had already eaten a fair amount with our tastings.) It is a 10th century walled city that makes you feel as though you’ve been whisked back in time. It also has scenic views of the valleys and mountains. After lunch and a walk around the town, Adria drove us back to Bilbao and dropped us off a little before 5:00. It was a perfect day! I would highly recommend this tour. We will probably book another tour through Delight Bilbao on our next trip.

10/10 Experience!
This was an AMAZING tour! Everything was timely, well organized, and tasty. Our guide, Hamish, was spectacular conversation and gave us great insight. He was a joy to be with! One of the best! The wineries were also high-class and detailed with their approach. It felt very tailored to us and intimate. Tons of wine to taste, and many different varieties. Definitely recommend!

A Wine Tour to Remember
The full day trip was fantastic with our private driver and guide. Our guide gave us a full understanding of the history and present day La Rioja wine region. We visited two wineries and it was clear that our guide had personal relationships with the establishments .. this made us feel like we were very welcome and resulted in excellent tours and tasting experiences.

Food, Wine, and an Authentic Day in Rioja
We had a great day visiting some fine wineries in Rioja followed by a wonderful lunch. Our guide was super professional, knowledgeable, and a great host. Plan on a very special version of Rioja.

excellent financial value
We loved it and ended up spending a little additional money on wine that we brought home, which the guide helped us arrange. Other trips were quite expensive and offered the same.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private tour to La Rioja : Visit 2 premium wineries with lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bilbao.
How much does Private tour to La Rioja : Visit 2 premium wineries with lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $377 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 Private tour to La Rioja : Visit 2 premium wineries with lunch 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 Private tour to La Rioja : Visit 2 premium wineries with lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bilbao, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private tour to La Rioja : Visit 2 premium wineries with lunch?
+
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 Private tour to La Rioja : Visit 2 premium wineries with lunch 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 Private tour to La Rioja : Visit 2 premium wineries with lunch?
+
Around 4 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 Private tour to La Rioja : Visit 2 premium wineries with lunch 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, Bilbao Food Tour: Pintxos, Drinks, and Tapas with a Local, Dragonstone, Mundaka and Guernica from Bilbao. 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.
