Haro Station District
Barrio de la Estación, Haro
Seven century-old wineries stand side by side beside the railway station in Haro. It is said to be the densest concentration of wineries in the world and is easy to tour on foot.
In the late 19th century, phylloxera destroyed French vineyards, and Bordeaux merchants followed the railway to Haro to build cellars, forming today's station district. López de Heredia, La Rioja Alta, Muga, CVNE, Roda, Bilbaínas and Gómez Cruzado all sit next to one another. Each offers guided tastings (about €20–40, reservation required), and the June Station District Wine Festival lets you visit them all on one pass. Every year on 29 June, Haro also holds its 'wine battle', in which participants splash each other with red wine. The train from Logroño takes about 40 minutes.
