Bodegas Ysios — Winery in Araba

Bodegas Ysios is in Laguardia, the fully walled medieval town regarded as the capital of Rioja Alavesa, surrounded by endless vineyards and sheltered by the Sierra de Cantabria. The building was designed by Santiago Calatrava, one of the best-known architects in the world, and opened in 2001. The name "Ysios" refers to the Egyptian goddess Isis. The undulating aluminium roof mirrors the mountain range of the Sierra de Cantabria behind it, while the structure itself recalls stacked wooden wine barrels. Tours with tasting by reservation.
