Overview
In the heart of Spain’s most celebrated vineyard region, La Rioja, a festival unfolds that is as rich and complex as the wines that have made this territory famous.
Here, music, gastronomy, and the splendor of nature interlace to create an experience that is both grand and intimate set against a backdrop of historical grandeur.
The La Rioja Festival, envisioned and curated by the virtuoso Pablo Sainz Villegas, celebrates the Spanish guitar’s profound narratives and the region’s cultural offerings.
Concerts are not merely events but journeys through time and tradition, held in the sacred spaces of cathedrals and monasteries, the timeless beauty of wineries, and the charming streets of Logroño.
Our journey will take us along the scenic paths of the Camino de Santiago, culminating in an open-air concert that transforms the landscape into an auditorium under the stars.
The Wurth Museum of Art becomes a live soundtrack, where melodies accompany masterpieces, and evenings are spent by connoisseurs and creators discussing the nuances of wine and art.
The festival’s lineup is a curated mosaic of classical and traditional Spanish music, featuring ensembles from string quartets to brass quintets and solo virtuosos like organists in medieval settings, bolero vocalists, and pianists.
The highlight, of course, is a performance by Pablo Sainz Villegas, whose guitar strings sing the soul of La Rioja.
As partners of the Rioja Festival, Musical Getaways offers exclusive access to bespoke performances and events that marry the local flavors, agriculture, and natural beauty with the festival’s rhythm.
Attendees will enjoy private wine tastings, delve into the secrets of the vineyards, and immerse themselves in the region’s rich tapestry of culture and history.
