# What tours do we offer for the Haro Wine Fight?
# What is included in the Haro Wine Fight package price?
# How do I get to Haro, Rioja?
The easiest, by far, is to fly into Bilbao in the North of Spain then transfer to Haro either by bus or train. The bus leaves every hour or so from the central Bilbao bus station and trains run three times a day from the train station. Tickets can be booked online easily. There are also direct bus connections from Logrono, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Pamplona, Zaragoza, San Sebastian, and other regional cities in the North. It takes only one or two hours to get to Haro from most of these places. Buses and trains also run to Barcelona although the commute is over five hours on that route.
Look at renfe.com for trains schedule, prices and booking and movelia.es for buses. Note that timetables may not be available until around 90 days or less before your date of travel.
Availability (if booked reasonably early) to Bilbao is good and flights are quite competitive. From London airports EasyJet fly from Stanstead to Bilbao, British Airways from Heathrow and Vueling from Gatwick.
# What should I bring and wear for the Wine Fight in Haro?
For the actual day of the wine fight, you must firstly remember what ever you wear on the day is almost certain to be thrown away. The traditional garb is white and red and most people will be dressed in total white with red scarves and sashes as accessories. Most arrive to the fight in white and leave in purple.
# What is the campsite at Haro like?
The campground has great amenities and there is ample bathrooms and showers, a shop, restaurant, bar and swimming pool. It is out the front of the campground where the free local buses pickup to take us all through the vineyards, part the way to the wine fight.
# Is the Haro Wine Fight dangerous?
The Haro wine fight itself is not inherently crowded and dangerous. Passengers are very likely to experience some mild crazy behaviour however. Naturally these events are suited for adults. As per our full booking conditions, participation is entirely at your own choice and risk. You are responsible for your own safety and well being.
We do not encourage you to engage in any dangerous activity or to drink excessively.

The PP Haro Wine Fight (Batalla del Vino) Experience
Our passion for parties and fiestas goes back over twenty years when we first embarked on our great series of festival tours. We have always believed in a serious party at PP - that is a tour that is run very professionally with fun, experienced and dedicated crew.
It is this experience, we believe, that will make all the difference to your own experience at the Haro Wine Fight. This is not a massive sprawling 16-day festival, like Munich's Oktoberfest or the 8 days of San Fermin celebrations at Pamplona. No, this fiesta is all about a few hours of total madness up a mountain outside the town of Haro. You need to be totally prepared to get the most out of the festival - and that is where our PP crew come in.
Our experienced team at PP will be with you all the way at the campsite, at the pre-party in the old town of Haro and at the Batalla del Vino itself. We'll be in the middle of the festivities at the heart of the action on the wine fight day to ensure you get the most of this short, but wild experience. Our fully trained crew will have you completely prepared for the wine battle so you can rest assured that you'll have the best of times with PP crew at your side.
Choosing who you travel with to any festival is of such importance and our 26 years of operating experience puts PP in a great position of trust and reliability. The actual awesome but crazy fight lasts just hour and without proper preparation and advice you can miss the event entirely. Whether wanting to be in the middle of the carnage or experiencing it a bit more on the sidelines, we are certain all our passengers will get the most out this unbelievable event. And with the event getting bigger and bigger each year, the leadership you will get from the PP crew is now even more valuable.
Naturally, to operate a tour of this kind, you must be totally organised and professional as a company. This is why, each year, thousands of passengers put their trust in PP at Royal Ascot, Oktoberfest and San Fermin and the Running of the Bulls - and at the Haro Wine Fight it will again, be no different.
From start to finish our experienced team will be with you the whole way to ensure you are ready and get the most of this once in a lifetime fiesta - we can't wait to serve you in Spain.
