Rioja & Txakoli Waiting List

June 7 -13, 2026

Join chef and wine educator Doreen Colondres for a once-in-a-lifetime journey through Rioja DOCa and San Sebastián—where vineyard views, Michelin stars, and exclusive tastings await. From the rolling hills of Rioja—where we’ll explore all three subregions and the best dishes to pair from the region—you’ll enjoy behind-the-scenes access to some of Spain’s most prestigious and hard-to-visit wineries (a true treat for collectors), along with Michelin-level dining and rich local traditions. Then it’s off to the Basque coast to sip zesty Txakoli at the stunning DO Getariako Txakolina and savor seaside pintxos. We’ll kick off in Madrid and wrap up in Bilbao—just steps from the iconic Guggenheim. This is Spain—up close, unforgettable, and like a local.
