We paid €20 each for this tour, and it was excellent value for money. Sandra, who showed us around, was friendly and very knowledgable. She answered all of our questions in detail.
The best bit was the wine-tasting and food at the end, because of how accommodating they were. We had said when we booked that we were vegetarian and they gave us a tostada with oil and tomato each and a platter of cheeses with membrillo and walnuts each. They also provided crisps and olives for our 3 year old, as well as a glass of mosto (grape juice) in a little wine glass. We were also allowed to take home a wine glass each, with the name of the vineyard engraved onto it.
The only thing that could possibly be improved would be adding in things for kids to touch on the tour, to make it a bit interactive for them. However, I know that these tours are really meant for adults, so based on that, I think it was excellent. I'd definitely recommend a tour here.

We arrived at the Bodega in the morning and was met by Marta our guide. We had a stroll through the vineyard while we heard about the history, science and passion of Luis Canas. The tasting session was fantastic and the accompanying local snacks were delicious.

We visited Luis Canas for a morning wine tour and tasting, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Excellent wines, informative tour, and very generous tapas tasting in a private dining room. Loved everything about it! We even got to enjoy Luis Canas wine a week later during a business dinner in Barcelona. To our delight, Luis Canas reserve red wine was the selected wine at our dinner.

An excellent tour and tasting led by Carmen Peña. Outstanding wines presented, but no surprise given the technology and innovation evident everywhere here from the vineyard to the winery. A visit worth taking your time over.

My wife and I took the full tour (20€ including tasting of 5 wines).
The tour was planned to last 90mn ....we ended up by spending more than 2h30 as we were a small group with reasonable level ok knowledge on wine and therefore loads of question for our guide Carmen.
Carmen has been awesome guide, answering our questions but also showing interest in our previous experiences with other wineries (mostly out of Spain).
She is able to share part of her passion in the wine and this
Has been great experience overall. Thank you Carmen for the tour and thank you Mr Canas for having such great team

As we were staying in the Hotel Viura, it seemed logical to visit this bodega and we're so glad we did. We were fortunate to only have 2 other people on our visit and Sandra our guide was extremely polite and knowledgable. We'd seen Casa Primicia and it was great to see a slightly larger scale bodega that so clearly wants to keep its family image. The bodega is impeccable and a very pleasant place to be. Sandra explained the whole process clearly and we learnt a lot.
The wine tasting and tapas finished off a good visit and we enjoyed the wine a lot!

We loved visiting Luis Canas. Our guide Carmen was so knowledgeable and entertaining. We did the 20 euro tour and it was well worth it-- we sampled 3 excellent wines and also got to try 2 wines that were in the barrels. It was different than other tours as we walked around with our wine glass. We really learned a lot here.

We recently visited Rioja and specifically wanted to visit Luis Canas. I have been a big fan of the red wine for many years so i wasnt going to let this opportunity pass me by without a visit. As we drove up outside you simply knew that you were visiting a very special place. A grand romantic building that overlooks the drive reassures you that this trip will be something very special. As we proceeded to the car park it was no surprise that it was busy. We entered the building and the atmosphere was just lovely. The sound of people enjoying such wonderful wine and talking about what they favoured best. We didnt expect to be able to do a wine test as it was busy. How wrong could we be. We were greeted by a lovely lady who said that if we wanted to experience the wine then that would be arranged. Space was made for us and and the glasses were set out with the bottles. It really was a very special experience and the descriptions of the wines was very interesting something that i will always remember. Once you have tasted the wine and know a little more about your favourite it then makes the experiemce of buying some bottles to take home so much easier.
We had such a lovely time and we want to thak you for offering such a unique experience.

We booked a private tour, "The Best of Rioja", of three different wineries for the day. Our tour guide selected this winery for us because it is her favorite. Bodega Luis Canas was number two in on our list to visit but by far end up being the best winery and the best wine of the day. We had a great time while at the Bodega Luis Canas and Carmen was very personable and made us feel welcome. The wine was the best we had during our whole trip. We end up having it several time during our dinners after our visit to the winery. We end up buying and shipping a whole case of Amere wine home!! Can't wait for it to arrive.
