We arranged a tour at the last minute through our hotel which was a short but very uphill walk away. The tour consisted of an explanation of the growing process of the grapes then an indoor tour of the processing of the grapes to the bottling plant and then finally a fabulous tasting with some lovely anchovies ,bread and olives and three different varieties of txakoli . The tour was made very special as there was only one other couple with us which meant it was very personal and also the guide was extremely knowledgeable and also answered all our questions.

Located in the quintessential txakoli town, i.e. Getaria, Akarregi Txiki is a traditional winery which has been making wine in this farmhouse for generations. A new winery was set up in 1996, which in addition to its own vineyards new oenological practices have been implemented to offer top notch quality wines. Akarregi Txiki has two txakoli labels, namely Akarregi Txiki and Lasalde, both of which hold the Getariako Txakolina Designation, guaranteeing the autochthonous origin of the grapes, meticulous production and exhaustive quality control.

Txomin Etxaniz

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. Txomin Etxaniz has more than 50 hectares of protected, sloped vineyards in Getaria where we grow two native types of grape; Hondarrabi Zuri (90%) and Hondarrabi Beltza (10%), which are harvested at the start of October and then made into txakoli in our winery. The Txueka Etxaniz family works and runs the vineyards, making and selling the txakoli. Along with them, workers and suppliers make up the Txomin Etxaniz team. The harvesting is done by hand in 20kg boxes at the end of September. This is followed by white vinification at a controlled temperature, pneumatic pressing in an inert atmosphere, then fermenting at a controlled temperature and holding over sediment until it is bottled. We make three types of wine: Txomin Etxaniz (txakoli), Eugenia (Fizzy) and Uydi (Late harvest) Contact details to arrange a visit: The Txomin Etxaniz winery is open to anyone who would like to visit and taste our txakoli with delicious local seafood products. However, it is necessary to request the visit using the form in our webpage and to receive a confirmation before heading towards our winery. Each visit is personalized and exclusively presented by one of our family members.
