Bodegas Baigorri: Get to know the hosts of España Discovery

In Samaniego, Rioja Alavesa, Álava -at the foot of the Cantabrian Range-, you can find Baigorri, a cellar that has a rich history based on six pillars: passion, effort, quality, innovation, family and excellence. Travellers, we invite you to discover a true “wine architecture”, an unmissable place included in a motorhome-based tourism specialized guide: España Discovery 2023.

Bodegas Baigorri is a family project, developed in the extensive and ancient vineyards belonging to over 10 fincas associated to the Rioja alavesa county. Here, the cultivation of grapes and the process to transform them into wine is realized via sustainable methods, in harmony with nature, recovering the best of the local tradition in combination with the modern means of the winemaking industry. The result? High quality wines, highly awarded at an international level.

Alongside executive, administrative and marketing positions, Baigorri has scientists, oenologists, oenotourism technicians and cellar administrators, who embody the projects avant-garde spirit day by day.
