A grill with vine-cutting fires, gardens and a wine bar at the entrance to Laguardia, with a children's menu; seasonal menu at the weekend.

Villa-Lucía is a gastronomic space on the way out of Laguardia along the Logroño road: gardens, a wine museum, a gourmet shop, function rooms and a grill restaurant. With children, it brings together in one complex a meal, a visit and a garden to run around in.
Embers of vine stock and cuttings
In the kitchen, chef Chusmi Gonzalo is in charge, building on Luchi Santamaría's traditional Basque-Riojan recipes and giving them a contemporary touch. The meat and vegetables are cooked on the grill with sustainable charcoal and wood: thinnings, vine stocks and vine cuttings. They work with local producers; the house presents itself as the first kilometre-0 restaurant in the D.O.Ca. Rioja, and has Slow Food recognition.
The main dining room has vintage industrial decor, like an early 20th-century winery. There is also a private dining room for meetings or more intimate meals, and both open onto the gardens when the weather allows.
Three menus depending on the day

Autumn menu: Tuesday to Friday at lunchtime, not public holidays.
Seasonal menu: at weekends and on public holidays.
Vintage grill menu: every day.

The website does not publish the prices or the dishes of each menu, only the wine list, with D.O.Ca. Rioja and other appellations. Ask for the price when you book.
The wine bar, from the morning
At the entrance, the wine bar opens every day from the morning with pintxos, Rioja wines by the glass, coffees, teas, home-made pastries and cocktails. It is good for a quick brunch before the wineries or for waiting for the museum session.
Ten thousand square metres of garden
The gardens cover more than 10,000 m², with botanical species brought from many places, fountains, waterfalls and streams, and there is a vintage terrace of more than 275 m². For children, Villa-Lucía has green areas and play rooms, and the children's menu includes artisan pizzas, home-made burgers, skewers and free-range chicken. In the same complex is the wine museum, with a 4D experience designed for families too.
Opening hours: confirm when you book
The museum's website says the complex opens Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 19:00, with Sunday afternoon and Monday closed. The grill restaurant does not publish its own lunch hours, so confirm the service when you book on its website or on 945 600 032.
Getting there
It is on the Logroño road, no number, at the foot of the town: you can walk there from the old town or drive in a couple of minutes. The path to the Laguardia lagoons also leaves from the Logroño road, so the walk and the meal can be linked.

Qué pedir: something from the vine-cutting and vine-stock grill, and at the wine bar, pintxos with a Rioja Alavesa wine
