Hi Colin

Sorry about the delay in thanking you for such a superb trip to La Rioja.  We very much enjoyed meeting such a lovely group of people.  The wine, food, bodega visits, and the three lovely guides were a joy to experience.   What a bonus the lovely autumn colours were.  You did a great job and we will remember it for a long time.

Very many thanks

Hi Colin,
We just wanted to say a big thank you for organising the excellent trip to Rioja.
The visits to Bodegas Marques de Murrieta and Muga were superb. Excellent guides, excellent food and, of course, excellent wines.
The two-night stay at Bodega Finca de Los Arandinos was simply amazing. The accommodation was fantastic – very modern and a little quirky, but very comfortable. And, of course, the food and wine were first rate.
We are very much looking forward to drinking the wines we bought from each bodega, and re-living the wonderful memories we have of the trip.
With renewed thanks for an excellent trip.
Robin & Helen

Hi Colin
We really enjoyed the Rioja trip – it’s hard to believe we were wine trip ‘virgins’ a mere
18 months ago! It was lovely meeting up with old friends and making new ones and
interesting to see the contrast between the more modern bodega of La Finca de Los
Arandinos and the two older ones of Marqués de Murrietta and Muga.
Tasting truly excellent wines with gourmet tapas at Bodegas Marqués de Murrieta, the oldest Bodega in La Rioja!

The timing of the trip also provided the treat of seeing the vineyards in autumn colours;wine making in
action at the Muga bodega as well as the beautiful wood in their cooperage. The
gourmet tapas and wines at Murrietta were outstanding; the lunch, wines and cava at
Muga were excellent as were the dinners at La Finca hotel. The group meals are a great
way to get to know fellow travellers and we much prefer the organised meals to doing our
own thing.  Looking forward to future events!
