GETTING AROUND
I highly recommend you higher a guide for your wine tastings in Spain, unless you're in Haro as you can walk to all the tasting rooms. Getting around the wine country can be challenging for people who do not regularly drive in Spain, don't know the area or don't speak the language. Please note, you have to have reservations in advance when visiting wineries in Spain, your guide can set these up for you and make recommendations on where to sip based on your preferences. Private drivers may seem like a dime a dozen in Spain, but not all those dimes are equal. Look for those who are well rated and/or ask your hotel for recommendations. In the meantime, here are a few we have used and recommend.
