Bodegas Izadi
(Winery in Basque Country)
Provides 2 wine tastings and winery visit from €35.00
Bodegas Izadi nace en 1987 de la mano de Gonzalo Antón, quien, junto a un conjunto de amigos y empresarios vitorianos, crea un proyecto innovador en el corazón de Rioja Alavesa.
Villabuena de Álava, where part of the family was already linked to the world of viticulture, was the chosen village to build an innovative winery focused on producing high-quality wines. Gonzalo Antón's vast knowledge of hospitality and catering led him to conceive a wine, Izadi, which soon became one of the most appreciated in the gastronomic world. At the same time, the incorporation of new winemaking techniques and his constant drive for improvement helped create a unique style that has been consolidated over time.
In the year 2000, the incorporation of his son, Lalo Antón, into the business boosted international sales and led to the company's expansion. Under the name Artevino, the company took on new projects, including Finca Villacreces (D.O. Ribera del Duero), Bodegas Vetus (D.O. Toro), and Orben (D.O.Ca. Rioja).
The commitment to quality, the connection to gastronomy, and the deep attachment to the land are the foundational pillars of Bodegas Izadi.
Txakoli Garate
(Winery in Basque Country)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €20.00
The tradition of making txakoli in our family goes back four generations, beginning with humble production for family use and passing pilgrims crossing the Garate pass.
The journey toward professional winemaking began with Josu Egoitz Zubiaur, who left behind his career as a trained chef to follow his roots and dedicate himself entirely to the vineyard. Today, in a small winery nestled among our own vineyards, we craft txakoli and vermouth with the same respect and passion that guided our ancestors.
Our 4 hectares of vineyards are cultivated mainly with Hondarrabi Zuri, along with Hondarrabi Zuri Zerratia and Riesling, all farmed using organic practices. We avoid chemical treatments to protect both the vines and the soil. The grape handling is almost entirely manual, allowing us to give the utmost care to the fruit and ensure a wine of exceptional quality.
Bodegas Vallobera
(Winery in Basque Country)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €30.00
Bodegas Vallobera is the result of all the love, hard work, patience, and courage put together in a personal dream of creating absolutely unique wines. The project of Bodegas Vallobera was started over twenty-five years ago in 1992 by Javier San Pedro Randez, descendent of vine grower. Javier along with Ana Ortega gave the wings to their family winery whose dream was to achieve and distribute quality wine. Thus, Javier was the first one in the San Pedro family to bottle the wines made with the family’s tradition. The first batch of wines that were commercialized was made in the classic Rioja Alavesa way but from 1994, the winery started aging around 100 casks of their first vintages.
The vineyards of Bodegas Vallobera lie nearly exclusively in the Rioja Alavesa subzone, in the shade of the Sierra de Cantabria, which shelters them from the ravages of northern storms. The vines are at an altitude from 500 to 700 meters above sea level and seek a higher quality of grapes than quantity. The main grape varieties grown in the Vallobera vines are Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha, Viura, Malvasia, Sauvignon Blanc. Vallobera is well represented with its famous wines that have earned them recognition all over the world with prestigious awards and accolades.
Bodegas1808 - Casa Garabitero
(Winery in Basque Country)
Provides 2 wine tastings and winery visit from €35.00
In the Southern Basque Country, surrounded by vineyards and small lakes, the medieval town of Laguardia rises on a fortifiled hill. Cars are not allowed in the town as it riddled with two hundred caves underneath the surface where, even nowadays, some of the best wines of Rioja Alavesa are kept.
In one of these caves, six metres below the surface, the Martinez family began their wine enterprise in age 16th century. From the 19th century onwards, Perfecto Martinez strarts a new project which, over five generations, has managed to respect tradition and which keeps on producing wines representative of their enviroment as an identity sign.
In 2002 the last generation shift take place, which implies a new wine project based on a human team that wants to adapt to new times without giving up their ancestral identity sings.
Txakoli Beldui
(Winery in Basque Country)
Since the year 964, when the first record of txakoli is made in this valley, there is talk of the monastery of San Victor and Santiago de Gardea. More than a thousand years later and in the same place the winery Beldui, begins to commercialize its first harvests of Txakoli.
Bodegas Valdemar
(Winery in Basque Country)
An underground stone cellar, in Oyón: that's where more than 125 years of history started. Joaquín Martínez Bujanda built it to age the wines that he made from his vineyards. Because, from day one, our family's passion have always started from the same place, the land and the vineyard itself. This has been our path, our work, what interests us, what moves us: offering something personal, different, with a unique character. Breaking the moulds to find new ways to always be ourselves. The next step came from Marcelino, Jesús' son, building a new underground cellar in the high part of the village. The next generation, led by Jesús Martínez Bujanda, started the expansion phase, the first experiences ageing the wines in Bordeaux barrels. But above all, Jesús consolidated one of our trademark signs: the search for quality wines, different lands which serve to nurture unique wines. Following this philosophy, focusing on the vineyard and producing wines which faithfully express the land, the third and fourth generation, Jesús Martínez Bujanda, started the Conde Valdemar project, building one of the most modern and technologically advanced cellars of its time. The cellar also brought together tradition and innovation. The cellar is a pioneer in wines that broke the mould (whites fermented in barrels or garnacha monovarietal wines) and specialises in Grand Reserves. Conde Valdemar created new trends and also wines that surpass the trends.
Finca Valpiedra
(Winery in Basque Country)
Familia Martínez Bujanda is one of the historic wine making families in Rioja. Our great grandfather, Joaquin, wine grower, founded the winery in 1889 and since then we are also wine makers. The wine is born on the vine and growing our vineyards makes us responsible from the beginning to the end of our different elaborations in Rioja, Rueda and La Mancha.
For generations, we have explored the best plots and concentrated the vineyards in estates with their own identity, from which we produce wines with the personality of the countryside and with the concept that Familia Martínez Bujanda transmits to their elaborations: elegant, subtle and fresh wines, that last beyond the trends, and that aspire to get the very best from our different terroirs.
Familia Martínez Bujanda believes in the daily efforts and dedication, which explains today, that the fourth and fifth generations continue at the front of a more than 125 year project. An effort that, year after year, we demand from our vineyards; some of which are planted in extreme growing areas, in hard and stony soils where plants have to work every vintage to offer the best fruit with the identity of each landscape from which they are a part of.
Because, for us, nature prescribes what the vineyards require and if we have learned anything during these more than 125 years, it is to take care of them, to pamper them, for this is the main guarantee of the future of our vineyards, thus for Familia Martínez Bujanda.
Bodega Katxiña Txakolina
(Winery in Basque Country)
Just as palate pampering is one of the Basque Country’s cultural elements par excellence, so it is also one of our family’s. We’ve been tending the red-hot embers of our grill for 34 years now in the fishing town of Orio, where we are known for choosing only the very finest fish and meats for our grill.
However, our father always dreamt of being able to introduce our guests to his txakoli, an artisanal tradition passed down from one generation to next.
Hondarribi Zuri grapevines have framed the entrance to his farmstead since time immemorial and making our own txakoli to share with family and friends has been a long-standing family tradition.
Convinced that the txakoli we saw our parents make was something both authentic and truly ours, we of the new generation have decided to follow their dream. With eight hectares of vineyard and a winery overflowing with enthusiasm, it gives us great pleasure to invite you to take part in making our father’s dream come true with TXAKOLI KATXIÑA.
Axpe Sagardotegia
(Winery in Basque Country)
Somos una bodega de Txakoli, que contamos con la denominación de origen de Bizkaiako Txakolina. A parte de Txakoli producimos sidra natural con certificado Eusko Label, de la cual también estamos muy orgullosos.
Txomin Etxaniz
(Winery in Basque Country)
Txomin Etxaniz, located in the heart of Getaria, has maintained its dedication to cultivating vines and making txakoli for generations. Back in 1649, the Gipuzkoa Protocol Archives mention Domingo de Etxaniz, linked to growing vines in Getaria. Later he led the modernisation, recognition and creation of the Denomination of origin Getariako Txakolina in 1989.
BODEGA HIRUZTA - RESTAURANTE
(Winery in Basque Country)
The Hiruzta - Txakoli Winery located in Hondarribia is the Rekalde family’s dream. We are a Txakoli-loving family who, with excitement and enthusiasm, have recovered the centuries-old tradition of txakoli production for the city of Hondarribia, the birthplace of the Hondarrabi Zuri.
Assisted by leading professionals such as the oenologists Ana Martín Onzain and Pepe Hidalgo, we began this adventure in 2007. The winery now extends over 10 hectares at the foothills of Jaizkibel Mountain, an optimum location for planting Txakoli vineyards.
The winery has the latest technology at its disposal. We have cutting-edge facilities which enable us to produce a Txakoli of the highest quality. The winery’s current production capacity is 160,000 bottles, a figure which we will steadily increase in the coming years.
Tobelos Bodegas Y Viñedos
(Winery in Basque Country)
Tobelos Bodegas is located in Briñas, La Rioja, perched on a steep slope overlooking the Ebro River, with stunning views of Conchas de Haro and Peñas de Biliblio. The winery sources grapes from over 20-year-old vines in the Sonsierra region, near the Sierra de Cantabria, with small and challenging-to-access plots. Among its most notable vineyards are Mocotero, surrounding the winery, and Los Quiñones, with vines over 70 years old. This historical area includes remnants of an 11th-12th century necropolis and hermitage, adding a rich cultural layer to the estate.
Doniene Gorrondona
(Winery in Basque Country)
Doniene Gorrondona Txakolina is the evolution from the traditional farm to a modern winery where the txakoli is produced in a completely professional manner. Placed in Bakio, the vineyards surrounding it are a warranty for the good quality of our raw material.
BODEGA ASTOBIZA
(Winery in Basque Country)
Las bodegas de Astobiza están situadas en la localidad alavesa de Okondo, en el barrio de Jandiola, en una finca que consta de 10 hectáreas de viñedo propio. El viñedo está situado a 300 metros sobre el nivel del mar y por su situación entre montañas, esta resguardado de la humedad de la niebla y de las heladas invernales, tan perjudiciales para nuestra querida uva autóctona.
