Wine tourism, wine tasting and prestigious travels in Basque Counrty

Cultural sightseeing in the BASQUE COUNTRY

�

Wine Tour in France takes you to the Basque Country! What can you see in the Basque Country? An engaging blend of emotions, the exceptional surroundings still reflect the unique heritage and identity of an endearing people who are proud of their traditions.

The three colors of the Basque flag rightly describe the essence of this land - the red and white of its traditional houses and jai alai frontons found in practically every village, and the Green for the verdant hills and Irouleguy vineyards.

It’s a land of contrasts – the Pyrenees foothills, the vast Iraty forest, the ocean, and tasty local delicacies that combine the products of mountain and sea such as chocolate, Bayonne ham, ewe’s cheese, ttoro fish soup, zikiro (lamb) or axoa (veal, onions, sautéed tomatoes and Espelette pepper). Basque cuisine is a delicious and enjoyable experience!

The Irouleguy vineyards cover the Basque Country’s hillsides. Planted by Roncevaux monks in the 12th century, these hallmark vineyards are tended by winemakers with a passion for their craft.

Once a small fishing village, Biarritz is now world famous as a prestigious destination for its combination of elegance and authenticity.
