Taste the best of Rioja Alavesa with this guided tour of the Heras Cordón winery and a tasting menu featuring regional dishes.

Heras Cordon Winery Tour

We'll meet at the entrance to the Heras Cordón Winery to begin our guided tour. The winery’s origins date back to the 19th century when local wine production started for local families. Overcoming various obstacles, the winery expanded commercially and industrially by the late 20th century, with significant reforms in the 1990s leading to its current state.

Accompanied by an expert winemaker, we will explore its facilities and learn about the winemaking process, various grape varieties, and tasting methods. We'll also observe historical elements, including old barrels and a restored door from a Segovia monastery.

The tour concludes with a wine tasting, featuring regional wines alongside local products such as homemade sausages and cheeses.
