Our first visit will be to the very interesting wineries of Dinastía Vivanco, where we will be able to taste some of the best wines of the area. Then, we will go to the nice village of Briones and later we will head the beautiful Sierra de Ezcaray, where the autumn colors will serve as a framework to hear firsthand with an expert guide the Deer ‘Berrea’, which fills the mountain with a singular sound show. We will finish the day in Haro, capital of the Rioja wine, staying for the night at the impressive historical building of the Agustinos Convent, now converted into an exceptional hotel.

SUN 29: HARO – RIOJAN COUNTRYSIDE - MADRID
After a recuperating breakfast, we will travel towards the Riojan countryside, where we will do a traditional harvest in a festive atmosphere, enjoying the landscape, the smells and the work as a celebration. We will cut the grapes, carry the baskets to the winepress and tread the grapes, following the three stages that the canons set.
