About this tour
Walk between two coastal villages in Gipuzkoa that medieval pilgrims knew well, stopping at a Txakoli winery to taste the region's crisp white wine, then sit down to grilled fish and three courses of Basque cooking in Getaria. This eight-hour private tour pairs vineyard knowledge with local history and genuine food—the sort of route that made sense centuries ago and still does. Your guide and driver handle navigation; you handle the eating.

What to expect
You'll start from your accommodation and travel to Zumaia, where your guide leads you through narrow streets and explains the village's role in the old Santiago route. The walk to Getaria is moderate—roughly two hours on marked paths with coastal views. En route, you'll visit a working Txakoli producer, learn how they grow grapes on steep slopes, and taste several vintages paired with local cider or wine. By midday you'll settle into a proper Basque restaurant for a sit-down meal: starter, main (typically charred fish from local boats), and dessert, with drinks included.
