Travel + Leisure Features Rioja Tasting Rooms

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

lopezhadidnightresizedZaha Hadid’s tasting pavillion at Bodegas R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia, as well as the cavernous interior of Santiago Calatrava’s Bodegas Ysios are featured this month in Travel + Leisure magazine, in an article entitled, “The World’s Most Spectacular Tasting Rooms.”

“If you’re into architecture you should immediately go to Rioja,”  says Food & Wine Magazine wine editor Ray Isle, interviewed for the article. 

“While Rioja is a perfectly pretty place,” he goes on, “it’s not spectacular…It doesn’t have craggy peaks and snow-covered mountains. But they’ve made up for that with extraordinary architecture.”
