The experience was a very nice experience. Our guide Eva was excellent and the visit to the little towns a nice surprise. The tour in the viñedo and the guide was very interesting. We recommended this tour.

Great for Travelers to Basque Country, Even Better for Wine Drinkers!

Michael_P, Sept 2023

My fiancé and I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Mikel was very knowledgable about the area and provided a lot of cool details as we're driving from San Sebastian to Getaria. Once we got to Getaria, we received a small walking tour where we learned about this beautiful town. We also really enjoyed our time at the Txakoli winery, where we learned about how the grapes differ from other wines and got to explore some of the vines. We even got to see the bottling line in action, which I has not seen before. Lastly, we got to sample three types of txakoli and have a few local snacks with them. We were very happy with this tour and recommend it very highly!

This was a fantastic way to spend part of the day and learn so much about the region! The views on the drive were fantastic and the guide was very knowledgable! The vineyard tour itself was so enjoyable and the wine was amazing. My only wish is that we'd had a chance to purchase wine while there!

Great tour guide. Nice...

Great tour guide. Nice mix of seeing the surrounding areas of San Sebastián with a local wine tour. You don’t get to try a huge variety of wines but it’s a good introduction into wine tasting.

Iker the Magnificent

James_G, May 2023

Iker did a fantastic job of s Knowing us around Getaria and the local sites. His English is very good and his sense of humor was great. He accompanied us to the Basque wine tasting and helped explain the intricacies of how the wine is made and tasted Iker was a blast!

Excellent tour that had various stops with a great tour guide. Enjoyed catching the vineyard during harvest season.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thank you for the comment! We are glad you enjoyed the vineyard!

An absolutely exquisite morning

James_K, Aug 2022

Do you love beautiful vistas of sloping vineyards overlooking the ocean and far-off cities? Do you want to eat grapes off the vine, wash down locally caught anchovies with crisp wine, learn about all things Basque and winemaking, and have a “this is life worth living” moment? Then sign up for this lovely morning tour without hesitation! Our guide Markel made this experience extra special and his English skills gave us an opportunity to deep-dive many questions about etiquette, history, recommendations, etc. Much love from Jim, Zach, & Steve!

A great trip

Maurizio_B, May 2022

Excellent guide (Iker) great wine tasting and lovely scenery. I would recommend this trip without hesitation. In short a lovely way to spend a morning.

Response from Host, May 2022

Thank you very much Maurizio! We are glad you enjoyed our typical Basque wine Txakoli!

Wonderful Personal Experience!

Carleen L, July 2018

Our tour guide was very nice and helpful. She drove us around the city and told us about it while making sure the car temperature was comfortable. She walked us through the city and showed us beautiful views and explained the history - in English. The winery was beautiful, and the owner gave us a personal tour while our tour guide translated. We greatly enjoyed this personal experience and can not wait to do it again. It is well worth the price and more.

Response from Host, Oct 2020

Thank you very much for your time and comments Carleen! We are very happy to see that you enjoyed your experience with us. See you soon!

Trevlig txakoli vintur

Stefan_L, Sept 2023

Mycket trevlig och kunnig guide som tog oss med bil från hotellet, via liten stadsvandring vidare till vingården. Där fick vi en informativ rundvandring med provning.
