Private Rioja Wine Tours from San Sebastián, curated with depth and character
“There are many ways to visit Rioja, very few allow you to truly understand it…”
Our private Rioja wine tours are designed for travellers who value depth over display, knowledge over noise, and moments that stay with you long after the glass is empty. Starting from San Sebastián, we create refined wine journeys shaped by expertise, access, and genuine human connection.
A Different Way to Experience Rioja
The most meaningful Rioja wine trips are not rushed.
They unfold slowly — through vineyards walked, cellars entered quietly, and conversations shared with the people who shape the wines.
At Rooters, we curate intimate encounters with Rioja’s landscapes and winemakers, far from scripted tastings and crowded routes. Each journey is paced, thoughtful, and deeply personal, allowing space for curiosity, reflection, and pleasure.
This is wine travel as a form of understanding.
Our Signature Rioja Wine Tours
All experiences are private and carefully adapted to your level of knowledge, interest, and rhythm.
An elegant introduction to Rioja’s diversity — its villages, styles, and traditions — guided with clarity and ease, and hosted by passionate, independent producers.
A deeper immersion into Rioja’s vineyard expression, and cellar philosophy, with privileged access and conversations that explore wine beyond the obvious.
Each Rioja wine tour includes seamless private transport from San Sebastián, expert hosting, and hand-selected winery visits chosen for their authenticity rather than reputation.
Beyond the Label
While Rioja is our foundation, many guests choose to enrich their Rioja wine trips with complementary regions of Northern Spain, creating a broader, more nuanced journey.
