Great way to close Rioja Alaves to the tourists. Visiting the museum and tour with guide is great for understanding the process of making wine. 4D film that is included is great too. Food in the restaurant Is very very good.

A gastronomic spectacle!!! We had the grill menu and what a success!! We ordered beans and Riojan potatoes as a starter and shared them, which are small pots with an incredible amount!! Then we ordered the steak for 2. A success, incredible meat and a brutal flavour. All with potatoes and some delicious roasted peppers!! For dessert we had goxua and pantxineta, which were brutal!! An incredible place, abundant and wonderful food, excellent service and a place that is like being at home!! It is a success and a 100% recommendation!!

We went with a little girl for a family meal and the attention we received was incredible. Perfectly adapted to the little ones with high chairs, a painting game at the table and a farewell gift! Estella explained and advised us everything in detail. The food on the menu is really exquisite and the portions are good. A special starter while you wait for the meal and a farewell glass of cava. Very good value for money. And very family atmosphere. Thank you for everything!! We would repeat without hesitation!!

We had two seasonal menus for 32 euros per person. The menu does not include drinks, which are extra. Everything was delicious, especially the pork cheeks.

We got married on July 6th in the tent area. The place is beautiful and the decoration that they include is very well cared for. We were unlucky that it rained the day before and the same day in the morning and the garden was flooded but the plan B that they have (ceremony and cocktail inside the tent) was also incredible. Silvia was very attentive during the wedding and helped us on multiple occasions so that everything went perfectly. The place is incredible and the food was great. We wanted to have a different wedding and sing at different times with different songs and they were very flexible and we were able to make our dream come true. Highly recommended.
