Bodega Marqués de Murrieta — Winery in Logroño

300 hectares of vineyards, entirely enclosed within the estate: a rarity in Rioja, where most houses buy grapes from outside growers. The style is distinctly traditional: long ageing in oak, with a strong emphasis on Gran Reservas. Top wines: Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial Tinto (named best wine in the world more than once), Castillo Ygay Blanco Gran Reserva Especial (one of the rarest white Riojas), and the more accessible Dalmau (100% Tempranillo, Gran Reserva). Tours by appointment only; book online. The standard tour includes a tasting of three wines paired with tapas. An extended gastronomic experience with a multi-course menu is also available.

Visitors walk through the vineyard, Castillo Ygay and the museum, finishing with a tasting; book ahead.
