Private Wine Tasting Course in La Rioja

Context La Rioja is a world-renowned wine region where tradition and innovation converge in wineries like Marqués de Cáceres, established in 1970. Here, vineyards stretch beneath skies scented with wood and damp earth, and the winery stands out for its elegant, award-winning wines, particularly from the Rioja Alta subregion.
