Basque Wine Tasting!
Hold onto your boinas, because on 22nd September Slonk Wine is exploring Basque wines by the glass at the Port of Leith Distillery!
About Basque Wine Tasting!
Wine lovers, grab your txakoli glasses, because we're embarking on a taste adventure into this enchanting coastal region. Straddling the Pyrenees between Spain and France, here it's not just about pintxos and berets – but also harbours a viticultural wonderland of tradition and innovation.
Picture seaside vineyards kissed by Atlantic breezes and sun-drenched hills, Basque winemakers craft unique wines that capture their land's essence. From the zippy whites of Getaria to the elegant reds of Rioja Alavesa, here, each glass offers a taste of centuries-old Basque culture and modern artistry.
So raise your txakoli and embark on a flavour journey through one of Europe's most captivating regions. Topa! (That's "Cheers!" in Basque!)
