Eguren Ugarte Wine Tasting at Vitoria's Mercado de Abastos with Cheese or Cured Meats

This wine tasting takes place in Vitoria, not at a vineyard. The group meets at the Mercado de Abastos at the scheduled time for a session built around Eguren Ugarte, a family-run winery in Laguardia that makes Rioja Alavesa wines. The session starts with the winery's story, the winemaking process, the characteristics of the grapes it selects and how they are harvested. Then comes a practical lesson in how to taste wine properly. The tasting itself covers four Eguren Ugarte wines, served with either a cheese board or a selection of Iberian cured meats. The session lasts 1.5 hours and ends at the Mercado de Abastos.
