Wine Tour Details

We'll start this exquisite tour after meeting at the entrance of the Zubizarreta Winery. Here, we'll start with a short introduction to this unforgettable experience that will combine history, tradition, and the unique flavors of some of the best wines in Carmelo.

From the first moment you enter the facilities of Zubizarreta, we'll tell you about this winery's history, as it's one of the region's most representative and oldest wineries. The passion of generations can be felt in every corner—from the extensive vineyards and the presses for the harvest all the way to the fermentation and bottling tanks.

We'll embark on a guided tour, where you'll discover the art behind the vineyard management. You'll learn about the grape varieties that bring the Zubizarreta wines to life. We'll explore the different spaces that hold a rich wine history until we reach the tasting room, the best part of this experience. You'll try an exquisite selection of wines, each one paired with regional products that will perfectly enhance their flavors. Cheers!

After a tour of 45 minutes to 1 hour, we'll conclude this activity and you'll be free to enjoy the Zubizarreta Winery's facilities for as long as you like.
