Txakoli wine tour from Bilbao
Description
Join us for a unique txakoli wine experience, exploring the fresh, vibrant Basque wine made from Hondarrabi Zuri grapes. Start in Bakio at the Txakoli Museum to learn about its history, Atlantic climate, and winemaking techniques. Visit a txakolindegi (winery) to see coastal viticulture, harvest, pressing, fermentation, and maturation that give txakoli its citrusy acidity and saline edge. Enjoy a guided tasting with a Cantabrian appetizer, learn the high pour tradition, serving tips, and why txakoli pairs perfectly with fish and seafood.

Wonderful day exploring this small winery region. The museum was a treat with nicely done videos and exhibits.
Great trip, very informative however it said it included a snack- which it didn’t
It was an excellent experience in spite of the very cold and rainy weather. I would highly recommend especially if you are into wines and would like to see the country side. Our tour guide Asier and guide in the museum Mira were very attentive, informative and helpful. We visited a very nice winery and loved Txakoli wine. Overall it was a great tour!

My partner and I recently went on a Txakoli wine tour from Bilbao, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. If you love wine, beautiful scenery, and learning about local culture, this tour is a must-do! The wine tastings were generous and diverse, showcasing the range of flavors and styles within the Txakoli category. We especially enjoyed the young, fresh Txakoli, which was perfect for a warm summer day. The accompanying snacks were delicious and highlighted the region's culinary traditions.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! Hope we get to cross paths again soon.
Our tour guide Jose was absolutely brilliant. Such a personal and engaging tour from start to finish. His love for describing the region and it’s surroundings was matched by the passion of the storytelling and craft on show at the museum and vineyard we were fortunate to visit. The wine both at the museum and vineyard was really nice. Highly recommended!
It's always a pleasure to read reviews like yours! Thanks for recommending us.
Our guide was wonderful. Filled us with lots of information about the region we never new. We loved the wine tasting and the Museum.
Thanks Jose for the wonderful experience. Great tour to the Txacoli museum and the visit to the Gorka Izagirre cellar. Also the service received in both places was amazing.
