The Rioja Alavesa region covers an area of 316 square kilometres of red soil, ideal for growing grapes. The vineyards colour the landscape in intense green in spring and in golden and reddish hues in autumn, providing breathtaking views every year. Unique landscapes of hills and endless vineyards, dotted with olive trees, dolmens, prehistoric remains, medieval walled towns, stately homes, fruit orchards, historic churches, and countless wineries.
It is such a manageable and easily accessible area, with short distances between the fifteen municipalities that make it up, that it lends itself to touring from dawn to dusk through landscapes where the culture of wine can be felt at every turn. The region is bordered to the south by the Ebro river and to the north by the imposing, ash-coloured massif of the Toloño Mountains.
Rioja Alavesa, given its unique features and the many activities on the Wine Route, is one of the most attractive wine-producing regions in the world and an essential destination for travellers in search of unique flavours, landscapes, and experiences. Tourism, architecture, art and, of course, wine and gastronomy all come together in Rioja Alavesa.
Land and wine are the key features of the region's character and landscape, where the culture of wine prevails.
