Txakoli is a white wine made from local green grapes that has been produced in the Basque Country long before the 16th century. The land surrounding Bilbao and the coastal areas nearby provide its name to the Denomination of Origin “Txakoli from Bizkaia”.
Visit the Txakoli Museum in Bakio to learn about the history and tradition of the unique "Hondarrabi Zuri" grapes. Then, discover every secret of this characteristic wine in a txakolindegi (txakoli house, in Basque language) from head to tail: harvesting, production, and more. Finally, enjoy a variety of txakoli tastings along with local snacks that include typical products from the Cantabric Sea.
