Bodegas Solar de Samaniego

About

Bodegas Solar de Samaniego, located in the medieval village of Laguardia in Rioja Alavesa, offers a captivating journey through viticulture and literature. The winery’s restored 1970s architecture serves as a canvas for the monumental murals of Australian artist Guido van Helten, turning the former wine tanks, the "Espacio Medio Millón", into a cultural landmark. Visitors are invited to explore the vineyard, learn about the multi‑step winemaking process, and taste three exquisite wines accompanied by a light appetizer. For those who wish to enjoy a deeper culinary experience, the traditional menu featuring regional specialties is also available. With a mission to blend wine and literature, Bodegas Solar de Samaniego has earned accolades such as Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice and Great Wine Capitals’ Best Of, making it one of the top destinations in the Basque Country.
