Heras Cordon Winery Tour

Taste the best of Rioja Alavesa with this guided tour of the Heras Cordón winery followed by a tasting menu featuring local dishes.

Heras Cordon Winery Tour

Meet at the Heras Cordón Winery entrance to start a guided tour of the vineyards established in the 19th century, which began small wine production for local families in Rioja Alavesa. The winery expanded despite challenges like the Civil War, achieving significant growth by the end of the last century. In the 1990s, extensive reforms led to the modern facilities seen today.

The guided tour will be conducted by an expert winemaker, who will discuss the winemaking process and tasting techniques. Attendees will also see historical elements such as old barrels and a restored door from a Segovia monastery.

After the tour, attendees will participate in a wine tasting, featuring the region's best wines, local products like homemade sausages or cheeses.
