What exactly is it about?
A pleasurable experience that connects nature and sustainability. It will offer you a different way of getting to know this area and a more exclusive way of visiting the vineyards: on electric bike tours, visits to the wineries and wine tasting in exclusive places.
Why choose this new form of visit the vineyards of La Rioja?
Riding an electric bicycle through the vineyards is a more conscious and enjoyable way of sightseeing.
Choosing this type of experience will allow you to feel much closer to the landscape. Unlike other means of transportation, the ebike connects you with the natural environment, allows you to perceive the air, the smells of the ground and the tranquility of the countryside.
It is an ecological alternative since this type of experience reduces the ecological footprint and helps responsible tourism, a trend increasingly appreciated by travelers.
Another benefit is exclusivity. These routes are usually done in small groups. This allows for a more personalized attention and a much more genuine experience.
Finally, assisted pedaling makes the activity accessible to anyone, regardless of their physical condition.

Area we visited on the route with ebike
The experience takes place in Haro, one of the most emblematic wine towns in La Rioja.
Known as the capital of Rioja, Haro boasts the quality of its wines and the number of historic wineries it boasts. Its landscapes mix rolling hills, large vineyards and country roads perfect for electric bikes. Participants will be able to enjoy privileged views, explore less crowded areas and learn firsthand about the work of local winemakers along the route.
What is wine tasting like?
The experience is completed with a wine tasting in a private vineyard of a winegrower in the Haro area, which gives it a genuine and unique value.
A wine tasting is not just a tasting. It is a sensory form that invites us to enjoy its color, perceive its aromas and savor its nuances. It is an activity in which the characteristics of the wine, its production and specific aspects of the area are described in a very entertaining way.
The wine tasting is also accompanied by a picnic with local products, which allows you to enjoy quality wines in a relaxed and close environment, while enjoying the natural surroundings at the same time.
