About Bodegas Valdelana
A family winery in Elciego that traces its history to 1583 and pairs its cellar tour with an on-site wine museum and a small hotel, all a few hundred metres from the Gehry-designed Marques de Riscal. English-speaking guides, generous opening hours (from 8 am daily) and a relaxed, hands-on style make it the easy first stop in Rioja Alavesa for families and first-timers.
Visitors single out wine museum, english-speaking guides, stay-above-the-cellar rooms. The wines to look for are Tempranillo, Viura. The estate dates from 1583.
