    For a lover of good wine and vines, this tour is exquisite. The guide was explaining with the sommelier the origin and the differences between one wine and another.

    Before my trip, several friends recommended the wines of San Sebastian, so I took the tour and it was A1. The tastings were quite generous and the scenery was incredible.

    I would like to highlight the great white wine that we were given to taste, I took a couple of bottles with me for the return trip.
