With more than 600 wineries, 14,800 winegrowers, and centuries of history, Rioja is Spain’s leading wine region. Located in North Central Spain, the Rioja wine region is known around the world for high-quality age-worthy wines with a traditional sensibility.
While Rioja’s reputation has been built upon unforgettable, oak-aged Tempranillo blends; the region’s diverse terroirs, grape varieties, and winemaking practices also create a broad spectrum of easy-to-drink red, white, and rosé wines that consumers can turn to for excellent value—with each bottle marked with the distinctive Rioja “trust” seal that guarantees authenticity.
One foot in the Old World, one foot in the new millennium – this is Rioja, Spain’s most important wine region. Join us as we explore the iconic blends, new approved grape varieties, recent vintages and growing in a changing climate. Matthew Kaner, Los Angeles-based wine entrepreneur, has been traveling to Rioja for a decade and brings his passion for the region and its wines to this must-view event.
