About this tour
Taste txakoli, the Basque Country's distinctive mineral white wine, on this four-to-five-hour private tour. Begin at Zarautz viewpoint for sweeping coastal views and context on the wine region, then wander through Getaria's fishing village streets to absorb its maritime heritage. Visit a respected local winery to walk the vineyard, understand production methods, and sample txakoli paired with regional delicacies. Private transport means your driver adjusts the pace to suit you.

What to expect
You'll start with a scenic stop overlooking Zarautz, where your guide orients you to the txakoli terroirs below. The drive to Getaria gives way to a loose wander through narrow lanes lined with fishermen's houses and tapas bars — the village feels lived-in, not polished. At the winery, expect a genuine walk among the vines (wear sensible shoes) before retiring indoors for a sit-down tasting. The wine itself is pale, slightly fizzy, and herbaceous — nothing like mainstream whites. Snacks are simple: local cheese, cured meat, perhaps pan con tomate. Finishing around midday leaves room for lunch elsewhere if you choose.
Good to know
The tour is fully private, so timings flex to your interest. Zarautz viewpoint and Getaria village are freely accessible beforehand if you want extra time. Winery visits require at least light mobility for vineyard ground. No lunch is included; Getaria's waterfront bars are ideal for refuelling.
