Description
Just 30 minutes from Bilbao, stroll through Urdaibai vineyards, tour the winery, and enjoy five Berroja txakolis paired with local specialties.
Step into the heart of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve and experience a unique journey at Bodega Berroja. Begin by exploring the vineyards that surround the winery, where you’ll learn how the Atlantic climate shapes the character of each grape and gives Berroja txakolis their distinctive personality. Your guide will share the story of the land and the traditions that have shaped winemaking here for generations.
Continue your visit inside the winery, where you’ll discover the entire process of crafting txakoli, from harvest to bottling. Gain insight into the philosophy and respect for the land that define every bottle produced at Berroja. The experience culminates in a guided tasting of five different txakolis, each thoughtfully paired with local products chosen to enhance their aromas and flavors—think anchovies, ventresca, bonito, Idiazabal cheese, smoked salmon, farmhouse bread, and a refreshing lemon sorbet with txakoli.
Enjoy this experience at a relaxed pace, sharing in the passion for txakoli, Basque gastronomy, and the breathtaking landscape of Urdaibai. Leave with a genuine memory of what makes Berroja and this corner of Euskadi truly special.
