Rioja & Basque Country with Bella Grace Vineyards

October 17 – 24, 2027  |  8 Days, 7 Nights  |  12–24 Guests
Travel with owners Charlie & Michael Havill

Eight days in Northern Spain, where two distinct but deeply connected worlds come together to shape one of Europe’s great wine and food destinations. The trip begins in La Rioja — rolling vineyards, medieval villages, and centuries-old bodegas where Tempranillo has long set the standard for Spanish red wine. From there, cross the mountains into the Basque Country, which opens onto the Cantabrian Sea. The region has its own ancient language, a fiercely proud food culture, and in San Sebastián, an elegant city where pintxos bars and Michelin stars share the same narrow streets.

• Explore Rioja’s evolving wine scene, from historic cellars to a new generation of winemakers reshaping the region
• Wander the old quarters of Logroño and San Sebastián, two cities where wine, food, and conversation spill into the streets each evening
• Discover the distinctive flavors of the Basque coast, from crisp, briny Txakoli to the region’s celebrated artisan cheeses
• Travel from vineyard to seaside as the landscape shifts from inland wine country to the dramatic Atlantic coast
• Experience the Basque way of eating — a culture where small plates, shared tables, and local wines are central to daily life
