Ollauri

Tiny Ollauri, 40km northwest of wine capital Logroño, is a gorgeous, quiet rural village set in lovely green countryside. Flanked by dramatic mountains and vineyards, it is utterly dominated by its winegrowing tradition, and rightly so. But as well as offering winemakers an exceptional terroir, Ollauri is renowned for the Church of San Salvador, and its mansions that date back to the 17th century. Basking in a Mediterranean climate, its mere 287 inhabitants feel privileged to live in one of the Rioja region’s prettiest areas.
