1 / 6
Bodegas Pago de Larrainzar - by Nuria Martinez on Google
Description
Bodegas Pago de Larrainzar is considered one of the best wineries in Navarra, with blends mostly comprising merlot, tempranillo, and cabernet sauvignon. For ageing, it uses French oak barrels and the facility has its own bottling plant. The estate conducts guided visits with wine tasting lasting about 90mins with different variations. The formula reviewed here is "Experiencia Larrainzar Premium" that includes tasting of three premium wines, accompanied by Idiazabal cheese.
Access & Transport
The estate is on Camino de la Corona, between Ayegui and Irache, 4km south of Estella and 45km southwest of Pamplona, on the way to Logroño. From Pamplona, take the A-12 and exit 40 then head towards Irache for 2km. Directions info: https://www.pagodelarrainzar.com/en/contact/
Instructions & Recommendations
The standard option (non-premium wines) was priced at 15 € per person at the time of this review update. Children under 18 are not allowed to drink alcohol and can join the tour for free or enjoy tasting of grape juice and snacks for a small fee.
Environmental & Social
Environmentally neutral. Socially the cultural aspect (discovery of the terroir and wine making culture of the Valdepeñas region) evens out the alcohol element.
Conclusion
The Bodegas Pago de Larrainzar tour is well run and informative. The premium option is best for wine connoisseurs but generally we would recommend a visit to this estate to anybody keen to learn more about wine making in Navarra & La Rioja - including families.
