BILBAO AIRPORT TO LAGUARDIA
Direct airport transport to your Rioja Alavesa address
A private transfer from Bilbao Airport to Laguardia starts at €219 per vehicle. For Laguardia itself, the reference journey is approximately 115–120 km and 1 h 25–1 h 35 min, depending on traffic and the final address. Your driver collects you at BIO and takes you directly to Laguardia, your hotel, winery or other booked address.
If you are staying outside Laguardia, give the exact destination when booking. A winery or hotel in Elciego or Samaniego is a different final destination and the journey needs to be calculated accordingly.
ARRIVING IN LAGUARDIA
Your accommodation address can determine where the vehicle should stop
Laguardia is a historic walled town with a network of streets inside the old enclosure. On the eastern side, a lift connects the lower area with the upper part of the town.
Lower-level parking is available by the lift
The local council specifically indicates that there is space for vehicles and buses beside the lower part of the lift. The upper walkway leads towards the walled area.
If your accommodation is inside the historic centre, provide its exact name when booking so the most suitable drop-off point can be coordinated.

Laguardia is not the same destination as every Rioja Alavesa wine hotel
When arranging an airport transfer, the name of the wine region is not enough to identify the final stop. These three examples have different addresses and municipalities:
Marqués de Riscal
The winery and hotel complex is at C/ Torrea 1, 01340 Elciego. It should not be booked as though it were located in Laguardia.
Palacio de Samaniego
Located at Constitución 12, 01307 Samaniego, this is another Rioja Alavesa municipality with its own final section of the journey.
TRANSFER OR DRIVER-LED ROUTE
Going to one winery is a transfer; visiting several requires a planned route
The BIO to Laguardia service is designed around a journey to a booked address. If your plans include several wineries, lunch, different villages and a return to your accommodation, the complete itinerary should be defined in advance.
- Give us the first actual destination Laguardia, Elciego, Samaniego or another specific location.
- List the wineries included in the route This distinguishes a multi-stop itinerary from a simple point-to-point transfer.
- Specify where the day finishes Hotel, restaurant, rural accommodation or another booked address.
TRAVELLING WITHOUT A CAR
There is no dedicated direct Bilbao Airport service to Laguardia
Aena lists regular connections from BIO to Bilbao, Donostia, Vitoria-Gasteiz and other destinations, but not a dedicated airport route directly to Laguardia. Continuing by public transport towards Rioja Alavesa therefore requires combining services, making the exact final location particularly important when your accommodation is outside the centre of Laguardia.
