Cantabrian Coast Half-Day Wine Tour from San Sebastián

Depart San Sebastian, following a coastal route through countryside and farmhouses. As you drive along via private transport, your guide will tell you about the history and culture of Basque Country, including tidbits about rural life, villages, and the famous Basque gastronomy.

First, stop at the region’s oldest family-run Txakoli winery. Here you will be joined by the winemaker for a guided tour of the vineyards and winery. Learn about the Txakoli-making process from start to finish, then enjoy a tasting of the current year’s offerings. After leaving the winery, you can visit a museum dedicated to famed fashion designer Cristobal Balenciaga, a native son of Getaria. Revolutionary in his time, his classic designs remain influential today.

Head down into the village, and meander along its narrow streets, visiting the church, the fishing port, and stopping for an artisan salt-cured fish workshop. In Getaria, enjoy an outdoor lunch of grilled fish and Txakoli wine at one of the famed portside restaurants. You can choose to accompany your guide back to San Sebastian or remain in Getaria for lunch on your own.
