The Rioja wine region

Contemplating the Rioja vineyards while sipping wine at the Ysios, Spain.

A story behind:  The Calatrava-designed Ysios winery certainly imposes on the local landscape of the Rioja region. I can say I was as enamored with the modern building of the winery as I was with many small medival villages of Rioja and Laguardia.

We were tasted wine and stayed a little bit on the upper deck of the winery. Modern architecture of the Ysios from the inside resembled a cathedral of sorts. From the outside it brings to mind a ship surrounded by the wavy sea.
