Basque & La Rioja Wine Country Loop
Starting and ending in Bilbao, this loop connects Vitoria-Gasteiz, Logroño, Haro wineries, and San Sebastián.
Combine Basque cities and La Rioja wine country into a single loop: start with Bilbao, drive through the Salt Valley to Vitoria-Gasteiz, head south to Laguardia and Calle Laurel in Logroño, spend a night in Haro to tour historic wineries, and finish in San Sebastián and the coast. Perfect for couples or friends who love food and wine, skipping the western coast.
The harvest season in September and October offers the best scenery; wineries and accommodations must be booked well in advance.
