Acerca del Tour

¿Conoces esa maravillosa sensación? Esa maravillosa sensación. ¿Cuál? La de estar en un lugar donde hay más viñas que personas. La de saber que puedes beberte esa tercera copa porque no conduces tú. La de sentirte arropado por un guía experto que te llevará de la mano hacia lo que quieras encontrar: ¿Bodegas clásicas o de vanguardia? ¿Un paseo a orillas del río Ebro o entre cuevas subterráneas? Un pueblo medieval. Viajar en el tiempo. Paz mental. Todo eso es Rioja. No es una sensación. Es un estilo de vida. Hazlo tuyo por un día.
