Santalba life experience
We will meet at the town hall of Haro to take a picture in a special place, next to the typical hand-stacked oak barrels. We will discover the best tapas and pinchos of La Herradura, the most typical gastronomic area of Haro, our hometown. You will feel like a Riojan, eating, drinking and chatting with our friends and local people. Then it is time to go to Gimileo, a very small village where our family winery Santalba is located. You can do it in your car (5 min), by bus, walking (1 hour on foot) or cycling (20 min) along a rural path through vineyards. Santalba is located in an organic tempranillo vineyard overlooking the mountains, facing the Ebro River, full of history, roots and traditions. We will visit the winery and then we will cook an authentic Riojan dinner with our most typical dish, the "chuletillas al sarmiento", with vegetables from our organic garden and paired with the best Rioja wine. We also have vegan wines. And you will be able to cook caparrones with us."
Sobre la bodega
We are a family winery in the DOCa Rioja that seeks quality in its wines.
Completely family winery, based on quality wines located in the heart of the Rioja Alta.
Two generations, father and son, make wines with different styles.
We select different vineyards, looking for a unique style, marked by the soil, altitude, sun exposure, vinifying them separately and then assembling our wines in the image and likeness.
There is always the desire to offer a typical Riojan style, without imitating successful wine models from other parts of the world.
Our wines taste like Rioja. Elegance and quality above all. Oak wood is fundamental in our elaborations, and in all our wines it is present to a greater or lesser extent.
We are a small, family winery, with values, which is committed to quality.
