Four ways to plan it
Rioja Alavesa
Laguardia and Páganos
A morning winery visit near Laguardia, then lunch at Héctor Oribe or El Puntido.
Near Logroño
Fuenmayor lunch
A morning visit in the area, lunch at Alameda or Casa Eloy and a free afternoon.
Main event
Ezcaray or Daroca
Make Echaurren or Venta Moncalvillo the center of the day, and add a winery only if it fits.
Evening
Dinner in Logroño
Pickup for Íkaro, Mesón Jabugo or your own choice, with the return time agreed in advance.
A chauffeur by the hour, waiting included
€60 per hour in a premium sedan for up to 3 guests, or €75 per hour in a Mercedes-Benz EQV VIP (up to 6) or V-Class (up to 7). A long meal still counts as service time, because your chauffeur stays with you.
VAT, tolls and parking included; meals and winery visits are separate. For a simple outward and return trip to dinner, ask us to compare with two separate transfers. See all hourly rates.
