Vivanco Winery in the heart of Briones
The culture of wine is inexhaustible and even more so if you are in La Rioja. Visiting a winery, tasting with friends, eating pinchos without stopping or visiting the vineyards at sunset is something extrasensory.
October reveals to us an endless number of activities that are difficult to refuse, and even more so if they are in Briones , one of the most charming towns in La Rioja.
We begin with the tasting of grapes from around the world at Vivanco Bodega where we can enjoy the sensory characteristics of the grape surrounded by an infinite field of vines. How is the cow's teat, the sultanina horn, and other varieties of the world. Yes, although it may seem strange to you, these are the names of grapes...
The harvest takes place during the autumn months.
We continue walking through its vineyards to participate in the Harvest Festival . Collect the grapes and end the morning stepping on the cut fruit.
"The sensation of bare feet in contact with the fruit of the vine, in addition to being fun and curious, is unforgettable, especially when it is oneself who harvests directly between the vines", they point out from Vivanco. What if we finish the morning with a typically Riojan lunch? It tastes like glory to us...
Of course, it is only possible during the month of the grape, October. The rest of the year we can enjoy its Museum and Winery with many more activities.
Briones is one of the most charming towns in La Rioja.
For those who practice wine tourism as a family there are also activities. Investigating the culture of wine among clues hidden in the vineyard, ancient pieces, barrels and contemporary works of art, is one more of the proposals. A total of 9,000 square meters and a centuries-old history dedicated to wine to discover in the unforgettable setting of Briones.
