Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Exceptional experience
Oct 2022
What a fantastic trip Jenny put on for us; we had the privilege of meeting some of the wonderful winemakers of Rioja, helping us to really immerse ourselves in the local wine culture. The attention to detail throughout our three days was excellent and Jenny's wine knowledge is exceptional, adding depth and flavour to the whole experience.

A great day out in Rioja country.
Oct 2017 • Friends
We were picked up from our hotel in Bilbao and taken in a luxurious air conditioned minibus to meet our expert guide Jenny.
We then enjoyed an excellent day visiting 3 very different bodegas, as well as an extra bonus tasting that Jenny squeezed in at another.
We had a super lunch at one of the bodegas, obviously with a great selection of wines to sample during the meal. Jenny had ensured that we had the best table in the house with great views over the stunning surrounding countryside.
Jenny was extremely knowledgeable about all of the wines, as well as the local history and culture.
We were a group of 11 and she quickly made us all feel very comfortable with her enthusiastic approach to her subject.
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to know a little more how Rioja wines are made.

Awesome tour

This was the second time we did a wine tour with a Jenny. We had a fabulous time. Jenny is very knowledgeable, has a quick wit and was a joy to be around. This was the highlight of our 2 week trip to Spain.
Thanks

A must!
Oct 2016 • Solo
I decided only a day or two before I came to town to take a tour. As a solo traveler I was so lucky to get a spot on a group tour and had the most amazing time. Great vineyards, beautiful views, an amazing lunch, interesting people and a tour guide (Jenny) who was not only passionate about the tour but had so much knowledge to offer about the other places I was traveling to. This was one of the best tours I've been on. Well thought out...something for everyone and personalized service. Great job!

"Great day out in Rioja"
May 2017 • Couples
My wife and I had a great day out with Jenny tasting the wines of Rioja and enjoying a five course lunch with wines to match. I have a reasonable wine knowledge with a Diploma from the WSET, however I opted for a personalised tour and I'm glad I did. From being picked up from the Hotel to being dropped off, I was impressed. Jenny has an excellent knowledge of the region and it's wines. The visits she organised were informative and well paced. I wasn't sure if I wanted such a personalised tour - just the three of us - no problem. Jenny is easy to get along with and has a good sense of humour. You won't be disappointed booking this tour!

Tour Rioja with a Trained Wine Professional
May 2017 • Couples
Our day-long tour with Taste Rioja was clearly a highlight in a 10-day exploration of three (3) wine regions in Spain. Jenny expertly managed the day's schedule at three wineries despite my personal tendency to get lost in the details of a long-standing hobby (mild obsession?) involving the world of wine. Bring a camera for the vineyard visit.
Since I have not seen this mentioned in other reviews, I would like to point out that Jenny currently is credentialed by the Wine and Spirits Educational Trust (WSET) as a 'Level 3' wine educator. This fact assured me that our Taste Rioja experience would be a well-planned, detailed and educational one- as well as delicious! But PLEASE don't be concerned that you will be in for anything like a 'wine-snob' affair. Jenny's sense of humor and vivacious personality can hold its own against anything like that.
Like any fine wine, Taste Rioja can deliver on many different levels that people might find enjoyable. I know that my wife and I certainly did. I have no reservation about giving a top recommendation to Taste Rioja.

Amazing tour - can't speak highly enough!
May 2017 • Couples
I emailed many tour guides who were booked out before one of them recommended Jenny - I'm so glad the previous were booked out because she put on a fantastic day for us with a private wine tour.

Jenny and her driver picked us up from our hotel in San Asensio and we headed to the first of three wineries. Each of the three wineries had been carefully chosen by Jenny to ensure we had variety seeing both modern and traditional wine-making. At the second winery we were treated to a 5 course lunch with paired wines and the best table in the house.

Jenny has lived in the Rioja region for about 12 years (from memory) but is originally from the UK so has fantastic Rioja knowledge and also speaks Spanish and English fluently. She is also an expert in wine and wine-making - it was a very educational day whilst also being highly enjoyable. I can't speak highly enough of visiting the wineries of Rioja with Jenny - we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to friends.

The best way to see Rioja.
Apr 2017 • Couples
Had one day to experience the wines, food, history and scenery of the Rioja region. Our day with Jenny was excellent and complete. We were picked up and delivered back to our hotel with no lingering thoughts of what did we miss out on. Highly recommended.

Top Notch Reviews Are Warranted
Sep 2016 • Couples
This review is late coming, but I believe the company deserves the accolades - better late than never. Jenny knows her stuff - the wine, the people and the history of the region - and is happy to share it all in her perfect English.
We were in a group of 4 in September and arranged a full day with Jenny enjoying the Introduction to Rioja Wine Tour. Everything was excellent - from the initial contact via email to the hugs at the end of the tour! Jenny met at us promptly at the front door of our hotel in Laguardia and led us to our waiting van and driver. Although she is happy to accommodate specific requests, we let Jenny arrange a cross-section of wineries and we were not disappointed. From the famous Bodegas Muga, to the new state-of-the-art Baigorri where we had a lunch w/wine pairing while overlooking the countryside, to a small, traditional 600 year old cellar where we toured with the owner. This company represents good value, top quality and friendly, knowledgeable staff that provide a consistently positive and memorable experience.
