Txakoli Wineries in San Sebastián

Did you know that Txakoli went from being the “weird” wine in cider houses to one of the favourites for curious wine lovers? If you’re planning a getaway to San Sebastián and you’re up for some wine tourism, this slightly sparkling white wine with a touch of acidity deserves a stop (or several). The good news? You don’t need to leave Donosti to find charming wineries where it’s produced. Some are tucked into green hills overlooking the Cantabrian Sea; others are next to fishing villages straight out of a postcard.

Txakoli has earned its place on wine menus, but the best way to enjoy it is in situ, surrounded by vineyards with a glass in hand. And if you combine that with an electric bike tour guided by locals, like the ones we offer at Bike Rental San Sebastián, it gets even better. Because discovering a city also means tasting it.

The Best Wines and Txakolis from San Sebastián

Talking about San Sebastián is talking about food… and of course, good drinks. Txakoli is not just a wine—it’s part of the Basque identity: fresh, lively, with a bit of acidity and that sparkle that makes you want to toast again and again. In this land of sea and mountains, every winery has its own story, care, and way of interpreting the Hondarrabi Zuri grape. Some are family-run, others more modern, but all of them have one thing in common: they produce Txakolis that will surprise you.

Here’s a selection of the top wineries near San Sebastián, perfect for a visit, a tasting… or simply getting lost among the vines. Ready to taste the Getariako Txakolina Designation of Origin the way it deserves?

Bodega Katxiña

Just ten minutes from San Sebastián, in Orio, you’ll find Bodega Katxiña, a place full of sea breeze and tradition. Here, Txakoli is made with Hondarrabi Zuri grapes grown on south-facing terraces that end at the Oria River. And yes, the views are just as good as they sound. Besides the wine, they have a restaurant where you can enjoy charcoal-grilled dishes paired with their own wines. A perfect plan.

Imagine arriving by bike, enjoying a tasting with a view, and finishing with some grilled turbot and Txakoli. Sounds good? With our guided tours at Bike Rental San Sebastián, that plan is more than possible.

Hiruzta Bodega

At the foot of Mount Jaizquíbel, near Hondarribia, this family-run winery has combined innovation with tradition. Hiruzta Bodega grows local varieties like Hondarrabi Beltza and Hondarrabi Zuri to produce whites, rosés, reds, and sparkling wines. And their wines are already being exported to over 20 countries.

But beyond the wine, the experience itself is captivating: historic vineyards, guided tours, tastings, and a restaurant — the Asador Sutan — where grilled dishes and local products steal the show. It’s the perfect stop for anyone biking the coast and looking for something authentic.

Talai Berri Txakolindegia

Just a stone’s throw from Getaria, this winery has been dedicated to Txakoli for generations. Their focus is on caring for the land and preserving traditional processes with a modern touch. The views alone make it worth the visit, but with a fresh glass of Txakoli, it gets even better.

At Talai Berri, you don’t just learn how the wine is made — you feel like part of the story. And if you arrive by bike after riding along the coast, the reward tastes even better. Another reason to include it in our Bike Rental San Sebastián tours.

Rezabal Txakolindegia

Located on the slopes of Zarautz and Getaria, Rezabal is one of those wineries where sea breeze and vineyards come together in a perfect postcard. Their 24 hectares of land grow Hondarrabi Zuri and Beltza grapes in privileged conditions. The result? Fresh, aromatic Txakolis with a strong personality.

Everything here is done with care: from grape harvesting to bottling. And yes, you can join a guided tour and tasting. If you’re biking through the area, this is one of those unforgettable (and very rewarding) stops.
