la Rioja







We spent a few days in Navarra and Rioja. The Rioja wines are some of Neil's favourites and the winelands are really beautiful. Unlike the wine routes of the Cape, you need an appointment to visit a bodega. There seems to be a trend for wineries to go for very modern, architectual masterpieces as cellars. We visited an excellent Museum of Wine at the Bodega Dinastia Vivanco and the Frank Gehry designed Bodega Marques de Riscal and toured the winery at Bodega Darien.
