Rediscover txakoli on a private wine tasting starting in San Sebastian along the Getaria and Zarautz coast, where sea-facing slopes and the Cantabrian breeze shape the D.O. Getariako Txakolina, the Basque Country’s signature white wine.
With hotel pick-up and private transport, stroll through Getaria’s port and Old Town before visiting a txakolindegi (txakoli winery) to see the grape’s journey from hillside vineyard to pressing and fermentation.
The experience ends with a guided tasting of different txakoli styles paired with a local Cantabrian appetizer, while your guide shares personalized wine tips to continue exploring bars, wineries, and restaurants at your own pace.
A perfect blend of sea, vineyard, and gastronomy, ideal for understanding why txakoli is the flagship white of northern Spain.
