8.Rioja wine region with visit to winery & Vitoria-Gasteiz

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 32 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $84

Explore Rioja vineyards, medieval Laguardia, a traditional winery, and Vitoria-Gasteiz on a scenic day trip from Bilbao.

“Very comfortable bus trip. Winery tour was excellent. We visited two beautiful towns. However, the tour guide’s English was not too good and his accent was very thick so he was difficult to understand. Also the tour was in both Spanish and English so he was constantly switching back and forth. I understand some Spanish so I could sort of follow along but my spouse was not so lucky. He was very kind so I hate to say anything bad, but I feel I need to be completely honest.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 31 reviews · 4 hours · from $73Best value

Review of Alicante’s small-group wine tour, with three tastings, local tapas, La Mola Castle, transport, tips, and honest value advice.

“We did this tour as a couple and really enjoyed it. Grigor was an excellent guide, and on the drive to the winery he told us about the area. The winery itself was really interesting to see with a tour from an informative guide. The wine itself was very nice, as was the accompanying tapas. The short trip over to the castle was also very interesting with great views over the area. I would absolutely recommend this trip!”
