Rioja, Spain 

Wonderful weekend in Rioja, Spain, organised by Pere & Iratxe. Starting in Bilbao, then driving to a lovely rented house in a remote hill village. After a big party night on the Friday, we awoke for a winery tour that showed us the methods of harvesting, and allowed us to have a go at testing the grapes readiness ourselves. Followed by a tour of the cellars and the experience of bottling our own vino.

After which we had a very long and amazing lunch in a cellar restaurant in a nearby town with some of Iratxe's friends, and another big night of food and drink back at the house.

Sunday we started the day off with quad biking tour around the hilly region (fun!), followed by more wine tasting, another massive lunch, and finally a few of us went back into the centre of Bilbao to see the Guggenheim before flying home Sunday evening.
