Wine tourism is in fashion, so why not do it Vintae-style? If visiting wineries is your thing, but you have grown tired of being offered the same thing, remember that at both Bodega Classica (Rioja) and Aroa Bodegas (Navarra), we want to surprise you by proposing new ways to visit and new leisure activities for you to experience Wine Culture in an original, different way.
As it happens, during the summer we converted the home of our Hacienda López de Haro in a meeting point for all those who love good wine, gastronomy and live music: one Saturday per month at lunchtime from May to October we organized 'Terrace Time at Classica', where, in addition to visiting the winery, it was possible to enjoy the fabulous scenery of the Sonsierra and the good weather on our terrace while tasting our wines, savoring the best gastronomy of La Rioja (lamb cutlets, etc.) and listening to concerts and DJ sessions. With the arrival of the cold weather, this activity gives way to 'indoor' activities, however, we promise to continue doing it when the good weather arrives.
In winter, Bodega Classica changes course, having decided to serve as an inspiration to artists and photographers with Wine Sketching and a Photographic Marathon. Tasting visits also continue to take place throughout the whole year:
#VisitaCatada Básica Includes a visit to the winery, tasting 3 wines during the tour and a final appetizer Opening hours: From Tuesday to Friday (11 and 13 h.) and Saturday (11 h., 13.30 h and 16 h.) Duration: 1 h. and 30 min. Languages: Spanish and English Price: €15/pax.
#VisitCatada Riojana Visit to the winery with tasting of 3 wines during the tour and a Rioja lunch of lamb cutlets cooked over vine shoots and Hacienda López de Haro white and crianza. Opening hours: Upon request. Minimum group of 6 people. Duration: 3 h. Languages: Spanish and English Price: € 30/pax.
At Bodega Classica we also have tailor made plans for groups; we can offer you ideas such as food in the vineyards, dinner among the barrels, Premium tasting with our oenologist or team building activities such as harvesting (really brings people together!), likewise we are open to any proposal you may have in mind.
And in Navarra we have Aroa Bodegas situated in a prime location at the top of the Yerri Valley, surrounded by organic vineyards, midway between Logroño and Pamplona. There you can try out a complete gastro-enotourism experience:
Visit + Tasting Includes visit to winery + tasting of 2 wines and special tapas Opening hours: From Wednesday to Sunday. 11 and 17 h. Booking essential. Price: €15/pax.

As you can see, we have plans for everyone and, in fact, we are constantly thinking of new proposals so you can encounter Vintae-style wine tourism experiences. So, if you want to keep up with everything we are organizing, keep an eye on the wine tourism section of the Bodega Classica and Aroa Bodegas websites for information about what's all in the pipeline.
