What to expect
Your guide collects you from your hotel and drives you into the Basque countryside. At the cheese farm, you'll see how milk becomes cheese and taste several varieties—the guide explains the terrain and climate that shape each one. Lunch is unhurried, built around locally caught fish grilled simply. Afterwards, you visit a Txakoli producer where vines grow on steep hillsides; you'll learn why this particular microclimate suits the wine and sample a few vintages. The guide ties it all together, showing how Basque geography and tradition are inseparable from what ends up in your glass and on your plate.
