Bodega Txakoli Basa Lore - Zarautz, Gipuzkoa

Andrea Catog

Excellent explanation about the vineyard, the process and storage of wine. Our guide Jon was very kind and gave us some nice and savory snacks to taste along with the different wines. Ask him anything about the wines and he knows! Very recommendable, would love to come back here someday again to buy their tasty and very affordable wine selection.

We had an amazing time at Basa Lore! I attended a wine tour and tasting with a group of 4 people. Our tour guide, Jon, was very knowledgeable and kind! He gave us an explanation of the grapes and the history of the winery. We then did a tasting from the barrels and the bottle of the Taxakoli! The wine was refreshing and delicious. Jon also provided us with samples of sardines and fresh caught tuna which accompanied the wine perfectly!

Lastly we tried the blush wine which Jon paired with a homemade tiramisu which was beyond phenomenal! As we wrapped up our tour, it began to rain heavily and Jon suggested that we take the train back to San Sebastian instead of taking a cab as it would save us money. He then went above and beyond by driving us to the train station!

Jon was a perfect host and I would recommend the tour to anyone wanting to learn more about this delicious wine which comes from grapes that can only be found in this region. I rate this tour and experience a 10 out of 10. Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity.

I had really nice visit in Basa Lore hosted by Jon. I got lot of information of their wines and work, but also general information of Txakolí D.Os. Wines are delicious and surroundings absolutely beautiful!! Highly recommended!

Una visita genial:
Para reservar fácil, rápido y muy amables
La Bodega: es pequeña, familiar muy bonita para hacer fotos al ambiente tan acogedor que tienen.
La Vistas: geniales, ubicados en lo alto se aprecia el pueblo, la costa y los viñedos están impresionantes. La conducción de las vides es espectacular haciendo un techo a unos 180 cms de alto. (parral)
La Visita: Nos atendió Nerea, la 4ta generación de Basa Lore, una persona que te recibe con gusto, te cuenta sobre la bodega y la historia del vino desde un plano sincero y honesto.
Los Vinos: Muy interesantes, una buena estructura a diferencia de otros Txakolis de la zona. También nos contó sobre los "experimentos" que hacen y cómo lo ha tomado el mercado. Muy interesante a todos los lugares que exportan.
La Degustación: Nos sirvieron desde los tanques 3 diferentes tipos. Una experiencia diferente que siempre se agradece. Ponen para acompañar unas cositas pa´picar muy buenas y de la región.
Tuvimos mucha suerte ya que fuimos con nuestros niños (6 y 3) y estuvieron jugando con las hijas encantadoras de Nerea.
En fin, si pasan por ahí no duden en visitar la Basa Lore.
Costos: Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Y adquirir ahí el vino el precio aún es mejor.

We were here in May for a tour and the hospitality was incredible. A highlight of our trip abroad this year. I highly recommend.

We had a great experience. Jon is very knowledgeable about wine and climate patterns, and spoke very thoughtfully about the future of the wine industry. The little snacks he prepared are great, especially his homemade tiramisu. I never felt like I was being rushed or pressured to buy wine (which we did anyway, because it tasted so amazing). Thanks for your time Jon and all the best with this year's harvest.
