Villa Lucia

About

Villa Lucía, nestled in the medieval town of Laguardia in Rioja Alavesa, offers guests an immersive culinary and cultural experience that blends local Basque‑Rioja gastronomy with a world‑class wine museum and cutting‑edge 4D attraction. The rotisserie‑restaurant, directed by Chef Chusmi Gonzalo and inspired by the tradition of Luchi Santamaría, showcases a menu of carefully sourced regional ingredients, a wide selection of local vintages in its Wine Bar, and small “pintxos” that capture the spirit of the area. Beyond the table, visitors can explore the historic Villa‑Lucía estate – an 10 000 m² property that once belonged to the Samaniego family – and wander through its gardens, terrace, and wine museum. The museum combines interactive audiovisual displays with hands‑on tasting experiences, and culminates in the “In a Dreamland” 4D sensory journey that has earned international acclaim. Villa Lucía also hosts weddings, ceremonies, private parties, congresses, and a range of themed events. The venue’s commitment to sustainability, local sourcing, and its status as the first 0 km restaurant in the Rioja D.O. create a unique backdrop for both intimate celebrations and large corporate gatherings. Whether you’re a food enthusiast, a wine lover, or simply looking to enjoy the picturesque valley’s landscapes, Villa Lucía delivers a memorable getaway with an emphasis on quality, heritage, and accessibility.
