Bodega

The fourth generation of the Escudero family makes wines that mirror the characteristics of their vineyard, covering more than 60 hectares in Alfaro, on the slopes of Mount Yerga. Ilurce is proud of its terroir, Rioja Baja. It focuses on traditional Garnacha and Graciano grape varieties, under the influence of the Mediterranean and the continental climate (cold winters and wide temperature range).

Heras Cordón is a family-run winery based in Fuenmayor, in the heart of Rioja Alta. With a winemaking heritage dating back to the late 19th century and over 60 hectares of estate-owned vineyards in both Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa, the family is dedicated to crafting classic Rioja wines. They work exclusively with local grape varieties and remain faithful to the traditional style of the region. Internationally recognized, the winery has been an official supplier to the Vatican since 2003.    

Gerardo and Aurora, along with the help of their children, run this small family-owned winery. While based in Rioja Alavesa (Assa/Lanciego), the majority of their 35 hectares of vineyards lie across the Ebro River, in the El Cortijo meander (Logroño). Viterico (young range) and Legado de Viteri (Crianza and Reserva) are their flagship wines: fresh, very easy to drink, with a long finish.

In the heart of Rioja Alta, at the foot of the Sierra de la Demanda mountain range in the San Millán Valley, lies Cordovín, a village with a deep-rooted winemaking heritage spanning centuries , where the Florentino Martínez family has been growing grapes and crafting their wines for generations. Building on their renowned claretes and whites, they have developed a broad portfolio, with Distercio and Tanka standing out as their most refined and expressive reds.

Located in Entrena, just 10 minutes from Logroño, this spectacular, avant-garde wine hotel sits atop a hill at the foot of the Sierra de Moncalvillo, immersed in nature. The estate encompasses 16 hectares of vineyards, divided into 30 distinct plots spread across the surrounding area, with elevations ranging from 500 to 600 meters above sea level. The result is a collection of unique, character-driven wines that capture the essence of the Moncalvillo terroir.

Founded in 1988 in Cordovín, the birthplace of traditional Rioja clarete, this family-run project is now led by César (father) and Iván (son). In 2015, they opened a new winery in Alesanco to embrace the growing wave of wine tourism in the Alto Najerilla region, at the heart of the Route of the Monasteries and the Spanish Language. They produce traditional young wines—red, white, and clarete—under the César del Río label, along with a selection of wines from carefully chosen vineyards and harvests under the Yursum brand.

It produces its wines from 35 hectares of estate-owned vineyards in the municipality of San Vicente (Sonsierra). Nearly half of these are certified organic—an impressive achievement given the region’s challenging climate—and reflect a strong commitment to sustainable viticulture. The winery crafts a range of wines, from young wines like Chirimendo to Crianzas and Reservas under the Castillo de Mendoza label, as well as iconic organic selections such as Noralba and Castillo de Mendoza de Autor.

They cultivate 50 hectares of estate-owned vineyards, all located within a three-kilometer radius of the winery. Situated in one of the most extreme and Atlantic-influenced areas of Rioja, the Obarenes Mountains, this unique setting gives a distinctive character to their wines. The current winery dates back to 1973 and is nestled within the gardens of the spectacular Castillo de Sajazarra, creating a setting of exceptional beauty: castle, gardens, winery, and vineyard.

Tres generaciones de viticultores han trabajado las 20 hectáreas de viñedo que hoy mantiene la familia en una de las zonas más apreciadas de Rioja: Briñas, Haro, Labastida y Ábalos (la Sonsierra). Desde las nuevas instalaciones de Bohedal en Cuzcurrita, la familia emprendió ya hace una década una gran apuesta por el enoturismo (con atención exclusiva dela familia) que se traduce en un amplio catálogo de ‘experiencias Bohedal’.
