About this experience

Experience the txakoli wine culture of the Basque Country by starting your tour in Bakio at the Txakoli Museum, where you will learn about the wine's history, the Atlantic climate, and essential winemaking techniques. The tour includes a visit to a txakolindegi (winery) to observe the process of coastal viticulture, including harvest, pressing, fermentation, and maturation, which contribute to the wine's distinct citrusy acidity and saline characteristics. Participants will enjoy a guided tasting accompanied by a Cantabrian appetizer, with insights into the traditional high pour method, serving tips, and the reasons why txakoli complements fish and seafood well. The tour lasts a full day and is suitable for wine enthusiasts. It includes private transport, hotel pick-up and drop-off, access to the museum and winery, and personalized guidance. Note that the tour is designed for those interested in immersing themselves in Basque wine culture and is not suitable for individuals seeking a fast-paced or less interactive experience.
