Getariako, Basque Country
Our Story
The word “Txakolina” can describe a few things. For one, it can describe the region that makes wine in their certain style. Secondly, it is the style of wine; light, bright & slightly frizzante. And third, Txakolina literally translates to “wine enough for the house." For centuries, families grew grapes to make wine just enough for their family, for their house.
Bidaia meaning “the journey” in Basque, is the story of Xabi Urruzola & Garazi del Rey; high-school sweethearts who have traveled the world together and ended back in their home of Getariako, Spain. Together, they grow local varietals Hondarabbi Zuri & Hondarabbi Beltza on their 8.5-hectare property, where they make the wine on site. They also own a small restaurant in their 15th century cider-house where locals fill the seats every weekend to enjoy Basque food & wine.
