Context
Bodega Bohedal, established in 1999 in Cuzcurrita de Río Tirón, La Rioja, is a family-run boutique winery that cultivates its own vineyards in a rural setting. Its commitment to sustainability and environmental respect is evident in every stage of production, from vine to bottle. The tour gently ascends across the estate, where the wind carries scents of thyme and moist earth.
The Experience
The visit begins with an introduction to the winery’s history and philosophy, followed by a walk through the vineyards to observe the grape’s growth cycle.

The guided tasting features three Tempranillo wines directly from Romanian, French, and American oak barrels, highlighting differences in aroma and texture. The experience concludes with the tasting of the Gran Bohedal Crianza, paired with a traditional Rioja appetizer served in an open-air courtyard, where sunlight filters through the leaves above.
