Rioja is Spain’s most celebrated wine region, but within it lies Rioja Alavesa, home to some of the country’s most prized vineyard sites. Few producers represent the region better than Bodegas Luis Cañas. Family-owned since 1928, with more than two centuries of winemaking heritage behind them, the estate has earned an international reputation for crafting elegant, expressive wines that reflect the unique character of Rioja Alavesa’s old vineyards. Join us for an exceptional evening hosted by Javier Rodríguez, Export Manager at Bodegas Luis Cañas, as we explore one of Spain’s finest family wineries.
Nestled beneath the Sierra de Cantabria mountains, the estate farms over 300 hectares of high-altitude vineyards, many more than 60 years old and planted as traditional bush vines on chalky-clay soils. Rather than treating every vineyard the same, the Luis Cañas team carefully manages 870 individual vineyard parcels, each vinified according to its own character. Combined with sustainable, organic and biodynamic vineyard practices, this meticulous approach produces wines of remarkable purity, elegance and consistency.
Over two relaxed hours at Loki Edgbaston, you’ll discover six exceptional wines, from vibrant white Rioja to mature Reserva and Gran Reserva, revealing the remarkable diversity that Rioja can offer. Along the way, Javier will share the family’s history, explain how vineyard selection shapes each wine, and demonstrate why Bodegas Luis Cañas remains one of Rioja’s benchmark producers.
