What you'll do

Enjoy a unique horseback riding adventure in the heart of Rioja. Your day begins with a transfer from your accommodation to the stables, where you'll meet your guide and horse for the day. Once you arrive, a local expert will welcome you and provide all the necessary equipment, including helmets and saddles, plus a brief safety briefing and instructions on riding before you set off. But don't worry; you don't need any previous experience to enjoy yourself! The activity is suitable for all ages and experience levels.

The ride takes about 2 to 3 hours and weaves through the beautiful La Rioja wine region, where you'll pass through the area's famous vineyards, fields, and villages. You'll make a few stops here and there to listen to your guide share information about the location and its world-renowned wine culture, rich history, and cultural traditions. You'll also stop to take in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. You'll see the rows of vines stretching out before you, mountains in the distance, and small townlets and wine estates. It's a peaceful and relaxing way to experience the region's natural beauty.

After your horseback ride, you'll return to the stables and bid farewell to your horse. Then you'll start your wine experience and visit two favored wineries, where you'll taste their best varietals and learn about the Rioja wine culture from a local guide. You'll have the chance to try some of the best regional varietals (some enjoyed in homes worldwide) accompanied by local cheeses, olives, and other traditional bites. It's the perfect way to cap off your day of adventure and relaxation. At the end of the day, your host will drop you off at your accommodation.
