La Rioja Wine Region Map
The La Rioja region is Spain’s Tuscany with its beautiful rolling landscapes, medieval hamlets, and exquisite wines. The wine country is subdivided into three regions- Rioja Alta (where most of the oldest wine “chateaux” are located in and around Haro), Rioja Alavesa (which also belongs geographically to the Basque Country and is home to some of the prettiest hamlets like Laguardia and Samaniego) and Rioja Oriental (further southeast, a larger, more arid region whose main hub is Calahorra; where you will find some of the largest dinosaur prints in Europe). The flagship grape of Rioja is the noble Tempranillo, used to create delicious reds and blended with other regional grapes like Mazuelo, Garnacha Tinta, and Graciano. The Viura (also known as Macabeo) is the main white grape, often blended with Garnacha Blanca to create rich dry white wines. Food and wine lovers will be in heaven in Rioja, with soul-satisfying dishes, like baby lamb chops roasted over grapevines, velvety beans, and slightly spicy chorizo stews sautéed vegetable “menestras,” and more.
