About Doniene Gorrondona
Founded in 1996 when three partners took over the Gorrondona farmhouse (the building dates from 1852) and replanted abandoned vineyards to bring Bakio back as a wine village. The 1.5 hour tour walks the vineyard, winery and on-site distillery and ends with two txakolis tasted alongside anchovies, Idiazabal cheese and Iberian ham; a few minutes' drive from San Juan de Gaztelugatxe.
Visitors single out owner-led tours, native grapes, sea-breeze whites. The wines to look for are Hondarrabi Zuri. The estate dates from 1996.
