If you don’t have a whole day and want to make the most of your stay in the Basque Country, we suggest you take a private tour of an increasingly fashionable and still unknown wine region: Txakoli.
Private tour to Txacolí wineries
If you don’t feel like spending too much time in the car but would still love to enjoy an exclusive gastronomic experience, this is the tour for you! A few kilometres from San Sebastian we will organise a private tour just for you and your partner/group. We’ll take you to 3 places that are really worth a visit… and tasting!
1) You will discover a traditional sheep farm where the most international Basque cheese is made: Idiazabal. The owner will show you how a sheep is milked and the first steps of the production process. We will finish by tasting some of the different styles of cheese and pair them with cider or Txakoli.
2) Txakoli is the iconic Basque wine, always vibrant and ready to drink. We will head to one of the most renowned wineries where you will discover spectacular landscapes, vineyards that almost reach the Cantabrian Sea and impressive terraced slopes. In the beautiful tasting room we will taste different Txakolis and some local snacks to go with it.
3) Before returning to San Sebastian, we will take a stroll through the picturesque village of Getaria. Located on a tiny peninsula jutting out into the ocean, you will fall in love with its medieval streets, traditional Basque architecture and colourful fishing boats.
