Topping The List<\/h2>\n

This year, the coveted top spot went to\u00a0Bodegas de los Herederos del Marques de Riscal<\/strong>, which has been a force for greatness in\u00a0Rioja, Spain<\/strong>\u00a0for decades and came second in The World\u2019s 50 Best Vineyards for the previous three years. It is where the first ever Rioja wines were bottled, with the then Marquis\u2019 first vintage in 1862. These days it\u2019s equally famous for the building its bodega lives in. Frank Gehry\u2019s undulating red, gold and silver titanium ribbons are something to behold from afar, the Rioja landscapes stretching out around it, and the magic only intensifies up close.<\/p>\n

The World\u2019s 50 Best describes the 61-room hotel as having two contrasting wings which are \u201cjoined by a raised glass corridor which sunlight streams through, and views from the lounge terrace offer the winelands of Rioja to one side and the gastronomic promise of the Basque Country on the other\u201d. In the restaurant, you can eat a six or nine course \u201cIdeas Land\u201d menu. The vineyards can be explored by foot, bike, or horse, with golf and padel on offer, too.<\/p>\n
