Basque Country wine travel guide

The Basque Country, with San Sebastián and Bilbao, is one of Spain's culinary highlights, home to pintxo culture and many Michelin-starred restaurants. The local wine is txakoli: fresh, lightly sparkling and the go-to aperitif with fresh fish and seafood from the Bay of Biscay. Combine a pintxo crawl through San Sebastián's old town with a visit to the txakoli wineries around Getaria.
