Here is what's in store for you

Immerse yourself in the hidden gems of Rioja with a one-of-a-kind wine experience at Juan Carlos Sancha, a boutique winery led by a Doctor in Viticulture and Enology. This exclusive 2-hour tour unveils the most authentic and research-driven side of Rioja winemaking.

Your experience begins with a visit to one of the world’s few remaining wild grapevine (Vitis Silvestris) populations, a rare glimpse into the origins of viticulture. Then, board a Hummer all-terrain vehicle to explore the winery’s most vertical centenary vineyard, classified as a Singular Vineyard – a prestigious designation in Rioja for plots with historic and qualitative value.

Back at the winery, you’ll join an intimate talk and guided tour to learn about the production of truly unique wines made from rare native varieties, including Tempranillo Blanco, Maturana Blanca, Maturana Tinta, and Monastel de Rioja, as well as centuries-old Garnacha vines. The winery uses an innovative rotating barrel system, enhancing the character of these limited-production organic wines.

The experience concludes with a tasting of 4 premium organic wines, all crafted from these rare and local varieties – an extraordinary journey through Rioja’s viticultural diversity.

This tour is ideal for true wine enthusiasts looking to discover rare grapes, sustainable methods, and high-altitude vineyards, all guided by an expert in the field.

Reviews of this Experience

Una experiencia increíble!!

Rate: 5 out of 5 8/1/25
La experiencia fue increíble en todos los sentidos. La cercanía y profesionalidad de Juan Carlos que nos hizo una visita muy didáctica y entretenida, la excepcionalidad de sus viñedos centenarios, descubrir la Vitis silvestri y por supuesto la cata final con sus vinos fue estupenda.

Super recomendable.

A Taste of Passion in Every Glass

Rate: 5 out of 5 7/1/25
This was an unforgettable experience. As someone who had never been to a vineyard before, I didn’t know what to expect — but Juan Carlos exceeded every possible expectation. His passion for winemaking is contagious, and you can feel it in every story he shares and every sip you take. The wines were incredible, the setting was breathtaking, and the entire experience felt authentic and personal.

Highly recommend it to anyone looking for more than just a tasting — this is a journey into the heart of wine itself.
Todo perfecto
