Only an hour away from Bilbao you can explore La Rioja Wine Country with North Coast Tours
By Anton Inarra.
The city of Bilbao in the north of Spain is one of the most attractive destinations in the Basque region. In the late 19th century and most of the 20th century Bilbao was one of the strongest industrial hubs in Spain. Throughout the 1990s the city experienced a dramatic transformation thanks in part to the construction of the Guggenheim Museum. Bilbao is nowadays a beautiful city crossed by the Nervion river. All along the river there are several magnificent buildings that are worth to visit.

On top of that, Bilbao is also about an hour away from the most prestigious wine regions in Spain, Rioja. About 45 minutes away we find the Station District of the city of Haro, with some of the most premium wineries such as Muga, Cune, or Rioja Alta. From there only about 20 minutes away we find most of the wineries in Rioja Alta and the Basque Rioja (Rioja Alavesa).
At North Coast Tours we offer weekly semi-private tours from Bilbao to Marques de Riscal and Ysios Wineries at the best prices in the market. We offer, convenient, pick up and drop off in downtown Bilbao, and we also include a local three course Rioja lunch on our tours. We also offer private tours options where you can Taylor your itinerary to your specific preferences. We are experts at Rioja and we know most of the wineries that offer wine tastings and tours.

Since most of the people who come to the Basque country visit more than one city, we offer complementary transfer from one city to another when our customers take a tour with us. We offer this option in all private tours, and most of our semi private tours as well. Send us a message or check our website and we will be happy to help you planning your trip.
