A Taste for Travel to Northern Spain & DOCa Rioja

On October 22, 2020, participants learned first-hand from Rioja’s “wine maven," Ana Fabiano, DOCa Rioja Brand Ambassador and author, The Wine Region of Rioja, about the richness of Northern Spain:

“Northern Spain is without a doubt the final frontier in western Europe for the seasoned wine aficionado or curious traveler,” according to Ms. Fabiano. “Rioja is abundant in ancient relics, ruins, architecture, centurion vineyards, world-class wines, and Michelin-star cuisine. There is a quiet beauty in the land and an innate pride in its people that speaks to your heart and soul.”

Premier Tours & Travel and Ana Fabiano roused in our guests a passion for Northern Spain, its distinct culture, and its exceptional wines and epicurean delights, as well as the desire to experience Northern Spain first-hand on one of Premier Tours & Travel’s upcoming “The Spirit of Northern Spain with Ana Fabiano” tours.

We learned about one of the most celebrated regions of Spain and three Rioja wines hand-selected by Premier Tours & Travel and Ana Fabiano: Marqués de Riscal Reserva (2014 vintage preferred), Muga Rosado, and Vivanco 2016 Crianza. Here's some of the feedback from our guests:
