The Best Of 2019 Award, in Conde de los Andes

Three years ago we opened Conde de los Andes winery to visitors. A year ago, we won the Best Of Wine Tourism Award in both the regional and global categories for the best sustainable experience.

And a few days ago, on October 18, we welcomed in the Ollauri winery the gala of the Bilbao-Rioja regional chapter of the Best Of 2019 Awards.

In a short time, our Conde de los Andes brand has experienced a brilliant progression. Both in its strictly wine dimension, with the launching of the whole renewed wine range, and in the facet of wine tourism. Brilliant but at the same time meditated.For example, in the old caves, we have carried out a thoughtful rehabilitation, very respectful with the traditional building techniques and with the tens of thousands of bottles that are stored in the different underground spaces. Regarding visits, we have established a maximum capacity of 12 people per group.All these measures are largely responsible for granting us the Best Of award last year.

And so we have come to the aforementioned gala of the Best Of 2019, which for Conde de los Andes has meant something like a great launching of our tourism offer in front of one of the largest and most qualified representations of Rioja tourism professional sector. It has been a privilege to receive more than 200 guests, led by representatives of the Great Wine Capitals network and the Bilbao and La Rioja chambers. And above all, a great honor to have had the opportunity to host the 2019 edition winners: Bodegas Bohedal, MUWI, El Tren del Vino and Ruta de Bodegas de Villabuena de Álava. To all of them, congratulations and our best wishes for the next global call, which will be delivered in Adelaide (Australia) at the beginning of November.
