The Basque Country is renowned for its deep culinary heritage and exceptional wines. Here, every dish tells a story, and every sip of wine carries the essence of its landscape. Our guided tours are designed to immerse you in the flavors that make Basque gastronomy a cornerstone of Spanish culture.
Wine lovers will find their paradise in Rioja Alavesa, part of the celebrated Rioja wine-producing area. Our tours include visits to both historic wineries and modern vineyards where you can learn about the wine-making process from vine to bottle tasting exquisite varieties of Rioja. However, Txakoli is the traditional wine of the Basque Country, made from local grapes, almost 98% of which are white and the main grape is called Hondarrabi zuri.These vines grow next to the sea and are tempered by Atlantic climate. It’s a white wine with high acidity, pale yellow color, medium to low alcohol and aromas of citrus fruit and white flowers, a light and lively wine. The modern style is a more gastronomic, structured wine, which is made with aging on lees or in oak. Wine tasting txakoli will be combined with vineyard visits, cultural and nature tours.
Join us to explore the tastes that define the Basque Country, from its salt-kissed seafood to its hearty inland meats and vegetables, all paired perfectly with local wines. Our “Food & Wine” tours promise not only a journey through the most delicious and iconic dishes and wines of the region but also a cultural adventure that brings you closer to the heart of Basque life.
