This crisp and fresh wine has been made by the families located in the hills that surround the main fisihing villages of the Basque Coast. Underrated in the past, Txakoli is conquering nowadays the palates from Japan to New York. We will get to one of them to visit and taste in their vineyards while knowing the history and culture of this rising wine of this Atlantic Wine

After the visit and tasting we will go to one of the most inconical fishinng towns of the Basque Coast, Getaria. In here we will explore the port and the town’s narrow streets while the aromas of grilled fish fill the air.
