Any restaurant suggestions or must see in Haro? Favorite wine tasting spots?

Thank you

In Haro, I enjoyed my tour of and tasting at Lopez de Heredia.

I did the first 4 on this list. Was a very fun day! All walkable from the center of Haro.

Top Walkable Wineries (Barrio de la Estación)

• López de Heredia Viña Tondonia: One of the oldest, famous for its traditional, long-aged wines and iconic architecture.
• Muga: Known for its traditional methods, high-quality oak-aged reds, and beautiful, spacious tasting rooms.
• CVNE (Compañía Vinícola del Norte del Camino): Features a historic winery with diverse tasting options, including in a courtyard.
• La Rioja Alta, S.A.: Renowned for classic, elegant Reserva and Gran Reserva wines.
• Roda: Known for more modern, fruity, and structured Rioja wines with excellent culinary pairings.
• Gómez Cruzado: A smaller, boutique "experimental" producer within the station quarter known for high-altitude wines.

A bit of an update: López de Heredia Viña Tondonia no longer offers public visits to the winery, professionals only. Most of the wineries are concentrated at the Barrio de la Estación (Train Station Borough), from where the wines were sent to Bilbao to be shipped internationally, and they offer great wines. My favorite one is Gómez Cruzado, it may also be the less touristy. Pagos de Haro offers a different visit and you can walk on 6th century excavated cellars.

Restaurants in Haro: my favorites are Alboroque, Nublo (Michelin star, if I´m not wrong) and Los Caños. Small town, I´d recommend to visit Laguardia, Labastida and Sajazarra, nearby towns.

My last visit was too long ago to have useful information. But research carefully which bodegas is open when and to whom. Plus they may do English tours as well as Spanish tours. The town is highish above the plain where the station is, just be aware that the walk can be tiring in the heat. We found the local tapas bars was a great way to continue any tasting, as you can buy Grand Reserva wines in the glass for Euros.

I am with Mikel, Gómez Cruzado is my favorite too. I think though López de Heredia Viña Tondonia does not do tours, they have a room where you can taste and buy wines. Maybe Mikel can confirm.

There is a really good wine bar in Haro called Vinum Vita. They do not have a website, but I am sure you will run across it, Haro is not very big.

With apologies to the OP, I'm glad mikleg was able to provide updated information!
