Taste the best of Rioja Alavesa with this guided tour of the Heras Cordón winery, featuring a wine tasting experience coupled with a regional tasting menu.
Heras Cordon Winery Tour
We will meet at the entrance to the Heras Cordón Winery. The guided tour will cover the facilities of these vineyards, which date back to the 19th century, originally starting wine production for local families in Rioja Alavesa.
The winery grew over time, overcoming challenges like the Civil War, and experienced significant commercial expansion by the end of the last century. The 1990s saw various reforms that led to the winery's current state.
Guided by an expert winemaker, we will explore the modern facilities and discuss winemaking processes, the characteristics of each variety, and tasting techniques. The tour will also showcase historical elements such as old barrels and a restored door from a monastery in Segovia.
At the end of the tour, we will partake in a wine tasting, enjoying local wines paired with products like homemade sausages and cheeses.
