We are looking for recommendations for a Wine Tour in the Rioja area and also a recommendation for a Pinxto food tour.
Thank you!

LaGuardia is an easy day trip and has several wineries, including the Marquis de Riscal. As far as pinxtos tours, Mimo San Sebastian (mimo.eus) and Tenedor Tours (tenedortours.com) are good companies with knowledgeable guides and chefs.

Hi kkmbnscan, just a few things you might want to know about.
The 9th of June is the "Day of La Rioja" so it is holiday in community. The 11th is San Bernabe, the patron of Logroño. There is usually 4 to 5 days of fiesta in the city.
The 24th is San Juan, and in many places there will be some kind of activity, usually a bonfire. In Logroño, the calle San Juan (a pintxos bar street) usually has a some stuff planned.
The 29th is the "Battle of Wine" in Haro during their fiestas.
