The facility is state of the art and designed with the environment in mind. Views from the upper deck and the restaurant allow you to see the Rioja wine valley at its best. Our tour guide was informative, pleasant, and walked everyone through the step-by-step process. When making reservations you can book with English speaking tours, which makes things a lot easier! Table service was efficient and additional pours could be requested. There are two wine pairing options that include standard or premium selections. The price for the tour and two hour plus lunch with premium wine was less than $100 per person. Wine shop is available and can accommodate shipments back to the USA. Highly recommended stop if you ever get to this neck of the Spanish woods.

We did the english tour of Cune, and it was amazing! Our…read moreguide was Ruy, and he was knowledgeable, friendly and made the tour even better. We got to see all aspects of the Cune wine making process, from fermentation to the bottles aging. We even got to go into the Cune "cemetery" bottle vault, where the 50+ year ole bottles are stored. We saw the 2004 Cune Imperial Grand Reserva, which was named the worlds best wine... After the tour we had a sample of a Reserva Vino Tinto and a Monopoli Blanco. After our tour and tasting, we hung out trying many other wines made by Cune. It was a great tour and afternoon of wine .

We did not like the Cune Gran Reserva. We were impressed with the Imperial Gran Reserva, but after seeing the high price, we thought better to avoid it. We tasted Gran Reservas from Contina & Viña Real and thought the Viña Real had some good points.

The wines are complex and quite enjoyable. The tour was the big attraction. The management was very accommodating of our schedule. Ainhoa Mouriz Ibarra was our guide for the tasting and the tour. This noble Basque woman spoke elegantly about the history of wine in La Rioja. Her presentation had us enthralled. We could have stayed much longer that the 2 hours we did. She graced us with a sampling of a non-traditional/experimental wine using 100 year old local Garnacha grapes. It was startling in its quality. It was ageing in a cement egg. We sampled right from the barrel. Not for sale. Later she took us to another experimental wine in another cement egg for a "barrel" tasting. Once again spectacular wine. Once again, not for sale. This tour reinforced the concept of the rules of La Rioja where the production that bears the DOC must be of an exact terroir and grape mix. That does not limit winemakers from showing their skills in other ways with other wines, just not for sale under he DOC label. Totally recommend, but plan ahead and contact them before you visit.

In the early morning hours, we had Gumer as the presenter of the wines. We took a 1 hour tour and…read morewere able to taste all their wines for FREE. As visitors to Rioja quickly discover, free tours and free wine tasting are not that common any more in Rioja. Some places seem to want to make more money on visitors without selling any wine. The chant of "vinotourism" is omnipresent in la Rioja. Sad to see. It reduces the Old World charm to have visitors pay for the wineries to promote their product. What happened to the concept of the customer showing their appreciation through the purchase of the product? The bottle price-point at Bodegas Ramirez de la Piscina is really good and the wines were excellent. The Crianza and Reserva were our favorites. The Gran Reserva for the cost was superb. We did not drink a lot of whites while in Rioja, but this one was blended with Viura and two other white varietals which made it distinctive and very pleasant.

During the tour, we got to see an active, working winery... From the fermentation to aging to bottling, which they were doing as we visited. We also got to see the wine cemetery and the barrel cooperage areas. The end of tasting was well balanced with a white, young red and a Crianza. We also, tried a Grand Reserva Vino Tinto afterwards in the tasting room. Well worth the $ for the tour, plan on 2-2 1/2 hours.
