DMC Rioja
Inbasque DMC invites you to La Rioja for your next incentive, corporate or group trip. Trust our years of experience and our network of contacts in the Rioja which distinguish us as the best DMC for this area. Smells, tastes, colors and shapes… here you will find only the best of everything. The olive groves and vineyards make the area a beautiful mosaic of colours, especially in autumn. The aromatic plants spread their scents and the birds and the Ebro River give the melody in this peaceful corner of the Basque Country. Nevertheless, the flavors remain the highlight of the region, after all we are one of the best wine-growing regions in the world which also offers excellent cuisine.
Rioja: More than just wines
But the Rioja has more to offer. With the wine came the tourists and as new hotels rise up from the fertile ground, so does some of the most exciting contemporary architecture of the Basque Country and Spain. Curved metal and reflective surfaces, the trademark of Frank Gehry – who is also the architect of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao – now dot the landscape in Rioja alavesa, too. The Marques de Riscal hotel and bodega has become one of the trademarks of the region and are really worth a visit.
There are also some hotels hidden in old palaces and stunning mansions, with elegance and a very unique charm. And of course, every hotel has a wine bar, don’t forget we are in the Rioja!
Discover La Rioja with us
inbasque invites you to discover the Rioja, where medieval villages are akin to islands in a sea of never-ending vineyards. This piece of land is synonymous with wine and culture; one of the best places in the world to taste wines that will fascinate your palate. Plenty of wineries await you where the winemakers will reveal the secrets of winemaking. Because it’s here where wine has its origins and it’s here where it tastes best.
Bodegas, Wineries, Hotels & Architects
Another visual trademark of the region, Bodegas Ysios, conceived as a temple dedicated to wine has quickly become the a „signature winery“ in La Rioja Alavesa, setting the trend for the construction of a steady progression of avant-garde wineries. The building was designed by the famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. We could go on like this forever, but the best thing to do is come and see, taste and experience it all for yourself.
Frequently asked questions
A DMC or Destination Management Company simply put is a travel agency. However, a DMC is the key piece when it comes to organizing your next corporate event or business trip. A DMC provides professional services for the planning and implementation of event programs. Thanks to its local anchoring, a DMC has an extensive knowledge of local suppliers, locations, etc. As such, it acts as an extension of your company and takes care of all sorts of things for you at a local level.
The extensive knowledge of the region, city or destination makes the DMC your expert on site. For example, a DMC is often able to give preferential rates based on its purchasing power and good relationship with local suppliers. As a local planner, a DMC knows perfectly well which suppliers offer the best service according to your budget. Moreover, it understands the cultural standards and expectations and also speaks the language. Its long-term contacts are the best tool against too expensive prices and unpleasant surprises. In addition, a DMC is by definition familiar with the city or region. They know the shortcuts and therefore work more efficiently than you would be able to.
A good DMC organizes your meeting or incentive from A to Z. They organize fun leisure activities, interesting excursions, rental of unique venues, selection of the best restaurants and hotels, arrange transfers, book meeting spaces, select guides and make a risk assessment and time frame. In short, they take care of all practical local worries. That will save you, as organizer of the event, incentive or other business travel, a lot of worries.
