Finally, move on to the picturesque fishing town of Getaria for a delicious traditional grilled fish lunch at the harbor. Finish off your stay with a leisurely walk through the Medieval streets of the town’s center…

Itinerary
 
Meet your guide for a private chauffeured ride from San Sebastian to the outskirts of nearby Zarautz. Here on the hills of this stunningly beautiful wine region, are the vineyards of the charming family owned winery you’ll be visiting. Discover their famed Txakoli wines, made with local grapes varieties that grow on terraces overlooking the sea; a guided tasting will serve as a wonderful introduction. After this, it’s time to savor the exceptional quality of another culinary icon of the area, Idiazabal cheese. Stop for a visit to a traditional producer and enjoy a specialized tasting of this unique artisan product with the owners.
 
Having set the mood with these savory visits, you’ll be just about ready for lunch. Today it will be served by the sea, in one of the typical grilled fish restaurants at the harbor of the captivating fishing town of Getaria. The menu will be a mouthwatering selection of regional dishes paired with excellent wines, specially designed by us to meet your tastes.
 
After lunch, go into town and take pleasure in a relaxing stroll with your guide through the enchanting Medieval streets of the center, and the picturesque color and charm of the fisherman’s houses with their beautiful wooden balconies. The town’s location, perched on the hills overlooking the sea, offers spectacular views that will stay in your memory forever.
 
Enjoy it all in a laid-back atmosphere where you set the pace. When you’re ready, your driver will take you back to San Sebastian, when the journey ends.
