THE WINERY

Many people don't know it, but in the Basque country there are family vineyards of the highest quality. On the French side we have Irouleguy, with its red wine similar to Bordeaux, and Jurançon, renowned for its light white wine. On the Spanish side, there's the delicious Rioja and the lesser-known Txakoli, just 30 minutes from Biarritz.
