See the top guided wine tours in Northern Spain

Blushing glasses of properly chilled rosé are all the rage in Pamplona, a city where dusty bulls annually thunder along narrow, cobblestone streets amid drunken crowds. Pamplona sits in the Navarre wine region of Northern Spain, one of the most renowned D.O.s (denominations of origin) in the country, and delicate rosés are its specialty. Younger, fruitier wines are the norm throughout much of Northern Spain not only in Navarre, but in the neighboring Rioja region, which is considered one of the most acclaimed wine regions in all of Europe.

You’d think such a wine-centric area would be full of established winery tours, but enotourism is a newer concept in Spain. Most wineries are small, family-run operations generally not open to the public and the facilities lack tasting rooms. But wine lovers need not despair. If you want to go sipping through Northern Spain, there are definitely tours available.

Novotur: Basque Wine

Knowledgeable Novotur guides uncover the rich religious and political history of northern Spain as you sip numerous fine wines during this four-day van tour. Although the tour can be customized to your liking, some of the famous sites you are likely to explore as you make your way from winery to winery are the 15th-century Cathedral of Royal Saint Mary in Pamplona; Olite’s whimsically-towered Royal Palace, once considered the most luxurious medieval castle in all of Europe; and the Cristóbal Balenciaga Museum in Gipuzkoa, a sure hit with fashionistas.

Besides sampling refreshing Pamplona rosés, you sample young, white Txakolis from Getaria (a fruity wine that’s slightly sparkling), and taste the wide variety of wines created in funky-chic Pagos de Araiz, which grows mainly Tempranillo, Cabernet and Merlot grapes, with 150 acres of those grapes surrounding the winery. Before you taste the wines, peek at the owner’s impressive collection of 16th-century statues depicting saints and apostles. The trip highlight is your stop at Marqués de Riscal in the medieval city of Elciego. The estate, dubbed the City of Wine, includes a winery and vineyards, a luxury hotel designed by famed Canadian architect Frank Gehry, plus a restaurant and a spa offering grape- and wine-based treatments.
