Description

Leave Madrid on private minibus and head north into Spain’s wine country. Watch the landscape transform from dry plains to rolling vineyards as you arrive in Rioja Alavesa, a celebrated wine region. Visit the iconic Marqués de Riscal winery, named the world’s best in 2024. Tour the cellars, learn about Rioja’s prestigious wine classification, and enjoy a guided tasting. Then sit down to a relaxed lunch surrounded by vineyard views. Arrive in San Sebastian and dive straight into its famous food culture. For dinner, join an award-winning pintxos tour through the Old Town, visiting local-favorite bars and tasting a variety of traditional bites paired with drinks. Afterward, return to your 4-star hotel and relax after a full day of travel and tasting. On day two, travel along the Basque coastline to the fishing village of Getaria. Visit a local winery to taste Txakoli, the region’s lightly sparkling white wine, while enjoying views over the Cantabrian Sea. Afterward, enjoy free time to explore and have a seafood lunch on your own with recommendations from your guide. Making your way back to Madrid, stop in the historic city of Burgos, home to one of Spain’s most impressive Gothic cathedrals and a key stop on the Camino de Santiago. Explore the old town or relax at a café before returning to Madrid in the evening (approx. 7:30 PM).
