Lunch at a Winery in the Douro Valley

About
Viña Ijalba, founded in 1991, is focusing on ecological wines using traditional techniques of la Rioja.
The philosophy of the winery includes growing vines on poor soils, limited production, recuperating historic Rioja grape varieties, and sustainable techniques.
Today, Viña Ijalba has more than 90 hectares of its own vineyards around Logroño, San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Valle del Iregua. Viña Ijalba is the first bodega in the world to produce wines exclusively of Tempranillo Blanco, Maturana Blanco, Graciano, and Maturana Tinta.
Visits
The winery is very close to Logrono. It is easy to reach, just make an appointment and go.
Viña Ijalba offers several interesting visits. You will learn about organic winegrowing techniques, see a natural museum of native varieties of vines in a small vineyard right by the bodega, visit the fermentation vats and the barrel room. The visit ends with a wine-tasting and a typical Riojan tapas.
Besides, the bodega offers an interesting harvest time experience with a tasting of samples from fermentation vats.
Also, enjoy lunch on a terrace, hop on a bike tour of Rioja vineyards, go kayaking, or simply enjoy a tasting of wines. The tasting program is available without guided winery visits.
