Rioja is one of the great wine regions of the world, with a history that spans many centuries. Here you find hilltop villages with narrow cobbled streets within medieval walls and, in the vineyards, evidence of winemaking that dates back to the Romans. Today, alongside those traditions, some of the most radical architecture – and winemaking – flourishes. Rioja, ancient and modern combined, is fascinating for its towns, its people, its fabulous festivals, and above all for its wines.
