Rioja Wine Cycling
Here is where all began, this is home. We are delighted to introduce you a quick trip to our homeland and its closest neighbors, a journey through history,culture,nature and of course …wine.
We have designed a unique tour,a long vineyards,wineries and the core of La Rioja, deep in their culture. We will visit a number of villages and towns out of the traditional tours and get to now how locals live in the area from the inside.
Our tours are not just about cycling but understanding the region and its people while we live it.
DAY 1
Briones – Logroño
Distance: 75km
Elevation Gain: 800m
We start on the medieval town of Briones and we pedal straight to the core of La Rioja where we will explore not only the famous wine fields but lots of other local products that are grown with passion here for centuries now. Mandatory stops at one of the most famous monasteries in this region and of course a couple of wineries before we make our final stop of the day at the capital of the region, Logroño.
There is no need to mention, today’s dinner is at the world famous Calle Laurel and its “pintxos” and tapas and some other areas not as touristic only “for locals only “
DAY 2
Logroño – Logroño
Distance: 60km
Elevation Gain: 1000m
After a deep dive the day before into the Rioja culture we want you to have a taste of how the neighbors closest to us taste as well. The unique location of Logroño gives us the chance to explore are probably not as well known region,however as beautiful and full of flavor as ours. A tour around the sierra the codes will give us a different view and a better understanding of who we are.
DAY 3
Logroño- Laguardia
Distance: 65km / 50KM (short)
Elevation Gain: 1300M / 1100m (short)
It is all about wine today.
Only a few minutes after leaving the city we find ourselves smoothly climbing along wine fields , and this will be our view until we finish our day. Another winery is on the menu for today and a surprise or two are lined up to with it.
Two options for today’s route , based on how the group feels, one of them shorter in distance and with less climbing
Today we will finish our tour in the legendary town of Laguardia.

Yoga practice before/after riding.
