What to expect
After pickup in San Sebastian, you'll drive to Getaria and spend time wandering its narrow streets—a genuine fishing town rather than a polished resort. You'll spot the church where Juan Sebastian Elcano was baptised and understand why it's famed for grilled fish restaurants. Then head inland to the winery where your guide walks you through the vineyards, explaining how the region's steep slopes and Atlantic climate shape the wine's character. Inside the cellar, you'll see production firsthand before settling down to taste the wine itself—effervescent, bone-dry, designed to cut through rich food. The pairing comes with local bites. Most of the walk is gentle; surfaces are accessible.
