There is a walk a few steps from the hotel, where to enjoy nature and its surroundings to the village of Haro.
The villages of La Rioja are renowned for their warm hospitality, where locals eagerly share their traditions. A distinctive feature of these villages is the vibrant “gangs” that roam the cobbled streets, seeking out small bites and enjoying a glass of Rioja wine. The festivities attract large crowds, with visitors flocking to the area to indulge in local food tastings, witness processions, and immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere of the festivals and wine celebrations.
The caves where wine has been preserved for centuries are a true highlight at Palacio Tondón. The hotel features a historic cave on its lower floor, dating back to the seventeenth century, with access to a waterfall fed directly by the Ebro River. The option to organize wine tastings both individually and in groups makes this open bar the perfect choice for a wide range of guests, from those seeking an intimate experience to those looking to enjoy with friends or for corporate events. Without a doubt, a unique and exceptional experience.
Beyond its history, Haro is a world-renowned brand, home to seven centenary wineries, forming the largest concentration of wineries in the world. These wineries are centered around the railway station, the "golden mile" of La Rioja. Every year, top international tasters and journalists gather to sample two wines from each winery, representing the 20th and 21st centuries. The railway played a key role in the development of these wineries, which were built for efficient wine transportation. These wineries not only boost the economy but also host events like the Haro Wine Tourism Talent Meeting and the OMT World Wine Tourism Conference.
We are happy to assist you with organizing a variety of guided tours during your stay, including visits to local wineries. Most wineries feature a wine bar that you can visit without a reservation. However, if you are interested in a guided tour with a tasting, reservations are required. You can easily book a tour through their website or by contacting the wineries directly via email.
