Planning a group getaway in La Rioja starts with finding the right place to stay. For a large family or a group of friends of up to 16 people, certain factors can make all the difference. Having plenty of space to enjoy meals together, a garden to relax in, a convenient location for exploring the region…
In the peaceful village of Herramelluri, Casa Zacarías offers an ideal base for discovering La Rioja’s vineyards, gastronomy and charming towns and villages. From the famous wineries of Haro to the picturesque streets of Ezcaray and the rural landscapes of the Tirón Valley, there is plenty to explore without spending hours on the road.
Here is our suggestion for a perfect weekend group getaway in La Rioja.
Day 1: Discover Haro and Rioja Wine Culture
Morning: Visit Haro’s Historic Railway Station District
Just 15 minutes from Herramelluri lies Haro, one of Rioja’s most famous wine towns. A great way to start the weekend is with a visit to the historic Barrio de la Estación (Railway Station District), home to an exceptional concentration of century-old wineries.
Book a group winery tour and wine tasting in Haro to learn more about the history, traditions and winemaking techniques behind Rioja wine. And, of course, you can taste some of the region’s wines along the way.
Afternoon: Relax at Casa Zacarías
After your winery visit, head back to Casa Zacarías for a relaxed afternoon together. The house has plenty of space to enjoy the garden and take a dip in the swimming pool. Then, prepare a barbecue accompanied by a good bottle of Rioja wine.
It is the perfect setting for a long, leisurely afternoon with family or friends, while younger guests can enjoy the outdoor space.
Day 2: Nature, Gastronomy and the Charm of Ezcaray
Morning: Explore Ezcaray and Sample the Local Food
Head to Ezcaray, one of the most picturesque villages in La Rioja. This town is nestled at the foot of the Sierra de la Demanda mountains. Its cobbled streets, arcaded squares and traditional stone houses make it a wonderful place to explore at a relaxed pace.
No visit to Ezcaray is complete without discovering its local gastronomy. Stop at some of the village’s bars to sample its famous croquettes and local pinchos before making your way back towards Herramelluri.
Afternoon: Discover the Tirón Valley and Herramelluri
Back in Herramelluri, take some time to walk along the River Tirón and discover the village’s Romanesque heritage and authentic rural atmosphere, away from the busier tourist routes.
For your final evening, the house’s txoko – a traditional communal dining room. It is the perfect setting for a group dinner, a few bottles of Rioja and a relaxed evening together.
