The region through which the Rioja Alavesa Wine Route passes is located in the south of the Basque Country, bordering the River Ebro and protected by the southern slopes of the Cantabria Mountain Range.
The county descends down the hillsides and enjoys a privileged micro-climate for growing grapes. A tradition that goes back in Álava beyond Roman times.
The capital, Laguardia, is 45 km from Vitoria-Gasteiz and less than 18 kilometres from the city of Logroño. The airports of Logroño, Vitoria and Bilbao provide easy access by air. The A-68 motorway and the N-111 provide excellent road communications.
