TXAKOLI WINE TOUR

This private txakoli wine tasting experience follows the scenic coastline of Gipuzkoa, introducing one of the Basque Country’s most distinctive wines in its natural setting. The route leads west along the coast to Getaria, a small fishing village closely linked to the history and identity of txakoli.

The visit begins at a coastal winery, where the origins of txakoli are explained from vineyard to bottle. You will learn about the local grape varieties, the influence of the Atlantic climate, and the winemaking approach that gives Txakoli its fresh and special character. The experience includes a commented tasting of three txakoli wines, carefully selected and paired with local artisan products, offering a perfect introduction to this traditional Basque wine. The tasting takes place in a setting where wine and the coastal landscape come together as one, reflecting the close connection between Txakoli and the sea.

After the tasting, there is time to explore Getaria, a village known not only for its harbor and seaside character, but also as the birthplace of Juan Sebastian Elcano, the first sailor to complete a circumnavigation of the globe, and Cristobal Balenciaga, one of the most influential figures in 20th-century fashion. A short walk through the Old Town adds historical and cultural context to the experience.

Close to Donostia, this Txakoli Wine Tour is a rewarding and accessible introduction to Basque wine culture, coastal landscapes and local history. An experience not to be missed when visiting the region.
