Gernika: 5 Txakolis & Basque Pairings near Bilbao｜Spain

Step into the heart of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve for a visit to 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 shares the story of the land and the traditions behind generations of winemaking here.

Continue inside the winery, where you'll discover the full process of crafting txakoli, from harvest to bottling, and the philosophy and respect for the land behind every bottle. The visit culminates in a guided tasting of five different txakolis, each paired with a Basque specialty chosen to enhance its aromas and flavors: anchovies, ventresca, bonito, Idiazabal cheese, smoked salmon, farmhouse bread, and a refreshing lemon sorbet with txakoli.

Enjoy the experience at a relaxed pace, immersed in the passion for txakoli, Basque gastronomy, and the landscape of Urdaibai — a genuine taste of what makes Berroja and this corner of Euskadi special.
