About this tour
Discover txakoli, the crisp white wine of Spain's Basque coast, on a four-hour private tour from San Sebastián. Travel along the cliffs of Getaria and Zarautz where Atlantic winds and coastal slopes define this D.O. wine region. After exploring Getaria's fishing port and medieval streets, you'll visit a working txakoli winery to trace the wine's path from hillside vines through pressing and fermentation. A guided tasting of several styles pairs with regional Cantabrian bites, giving you the knowledge to seek out txakoli bars and restaurants back in the city.

What to expect
Your driver collects you from your San Sebastián hotel and drives you through rolling coastal countryside to Getaria. On foot, you'll wander the working fishing port and narrow Old Town lanes, getting a feel for the region's character. At the txakoli winery—likely shared with other visitors though your tour remains private otherwise—you'll watch pressing and fermentation equipment while learning how the Cantabrian breeze and Atlantic-facing slopes shape the wine's character. Back in the tasting room, you'll sample two or three txakoli expressions alongside a simple Basque appetiser, with your guide offering practical tips on where to find good bottles and which bars pour them well.
