A toast with a taste of the sea

Txakoli is one of the wines that best defines the Basque Country, as well as being an essential part of the culinary culture of Donostia/San Sebastián. Light, aromatic and with a refreshing touch of acidity, this wine perfectly reflects the influence of the Cantabrian Sea.

It is produced mainly from vineyards near the Basque coast, particularly in Getaria, where the vines grow facing the sea. This unique environment gives the wine its distinctive fresh, mineral character.

So, raising a glass of txakoli is a way of savouring the local identity: the ideal accompaniment to pintxos, fish and seafood. What’s more, a visit to its wineries and vineyards on the coast will give you first-hand knowledge of the winemaking process, the landscape that brings forth this truly unique wine, and how this tradition is kept alive.
