Good special wine. Thorough explanations a nice presentation.Good special wine. Thorough explanations a nice presentation. We enjoyed the wine tasting.
Great experience!!For some reason our booking showed up for a Spanish visit so they were able to accommodate last minute for an English visit….which was amazing! The actual tour of the vineyards was very informative and very interesting. Wonderful wine tasting on the upper level patio. We were a small group of four friends and we felt very welcome. Highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a more personable experience!
What a wonderful experience!We were treated to true hospitality by the team! Wines were excellent and very reasonably priced. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an authentic Rioja experience.
A highlight of our European travelMy wife and I can't say enough about how fun and interesting this tour was. It was just us on the tour, which I gather is the winery's preference, and very personal -- from what we saw to the wide-ranging conversation to the wine-tasting itself. It's a great chance to see how a small winery operates - and produces great reds and whites;
It was an excellent experience!Juanjo was very special. Walked us through all the wine process while tasting the wine directly from the barrels. He drove us through the winery even though it was raining he made a few stops to explain us about it. At the end of the visit Juanjo had lunch for us. He also opened two bottles of his special wine so we could taste it and drink whatever we wanted. The experience overall was amazing!
Great wine and beautiful propertyThis was our second time visiting El Ternero. The wine is made with great care. Very historic buildings. Our guide gave us an extensive tour of the property, wine operations, and a wonderful tasting with plentiful pinxos. Highly recommend their wines.
Superb service and great experienceRiding el bikes through wineyards and picking grapes for degustation and fascinating tour with guided wine degustation was really superior lyrics spent time in La Rioja together with new learning even for skilled wine lovers.
