About this tour
Follow the Basque coast from San Sebastian to Getaria and taste txakoli, the Atlantic-influenced white wine that's been crafted here for five centuries. Your guide walks you through a working winery to see how steep hillside vineyards, hand harvests, and fermentation create this crisp, mineral wine. You'll taste multiple styles paired with local Cantabrian bites, then explore Getaria's fishing harbour and medieval lanes. Hotel pickup and air-conditioned transport included.

What to expect
You'll depart your San Sebastian hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle and drive toward the coast, arriving at a working txakolindegi (traditional winery) in Getaria. Your guide will walk you through the vineyard slopes, explaining why the Atlantic breeze and salt spray define the wine's character. You'll see the pressing and fermentation areas, then settle in to taste several txakoli expressions—from bone-dry to slightly frizzante—with a local starter. Afterwards, wander Getaria's compact harbour and cobbled Old Town at your own pace before returning to your hotel. The tour suits all fitness levels and runs regardless of weather.
