The Eight Essential Basque Country Hotels for Wine Aficionados
The Rioja Alavesa basin on the border of the Basque Country and La Rioja is up there with the likes of Tuscany and Napa Valley in both the quality of its wines and breathtaking beauty of its landscape. The internationally recognized wine region is surrounded by the striking granite peaks of Sierra de Cantabria to the North and the Iberian range to the south, creating a perfect grape-growing climate where rolling vineyards and picturesque medieval villages stretch for as far as the eye can see. Wine lovers far and wide flock here to experience this feast for the senses. Below are the best hotels for travelers wanting to make the most out of their pilgrimage.
Hotel Eguren Ugarte
Why it made the list
It may not match the architectural marvel or the five-star opulence of Marqués de Riscal, but in the end, it all comes down to the wine. And the wine at the Eguren Ugarte bodega is a crowd favorite among locals and tourists alike. The historic winery has a colorful past, jaw-dropping facilities, and beautiful vineyards that are all experienced via the tour and tasting included with a stay. Not only that, but the romantic rooms within the designer hotel, built high atop the bodega, provide hands down the most magnificent views of any hotel in all of Rioja Alavesa.
