The owners are wonderful- you will have a-great time - Irene led a very detailed and engaging Spanish Wine tasting. My husband is a sommelier and thoroughly enjoyed deepening his understanding of the various regions. After the tasting, we stayed for pinxtos and wine and David helped us explore a variety of tasty dishes. I highly recommend the tasting, the food, and the wine shop. You will have a great time.

Amazing wines, wonderful host - If I could give this wine tasting 10 stars I would! Irene was an incredible host, attentive, passionate and so knowledgeable about wines not just from the Basque country but from all around the world. The whole experience was a joy from start to finish :)

Educational Experience - Ireane taught us the technique of experiencing wines like a pro while pairing them with different appetizers. My friend and I found it very educational because we also learned how the wines were made and from what regions they came from. Afterwards, we were able to purchase the wines and some of the cheeses we had tried to enjoy back at our hotel.

Best Wine Tasting of its Kind I Have Ever Been To - When we’re in a city we usually book a wine tasting. They are usually interesting but can be quite perfunctory and I often feel the person giving the talk is quite bored by repetition. And there are usually one or wines which aren’t up to much. This was an absolutely brilliant counter-example. Irene was engaging and interested and the wines were very carefully and cleverly chosen, from small local producers that Irene knew, to give us wines we would never otherwise have encountered. All were excellent. The venue was also excellent and we stayed for a superb dinner afterwards. Owner David, a British partner of Basque Irene was very helpful in creating gluten free vegetarian options for my wife.

Best afternoon in Bilbao - We had an absolutely wonderful time. Irene was very personable, fun and informative, the wine and pairings were excellent and interesting. We had such a great time chatting with the people we met in the group, and with the owners, that we ended up ordering more food (all local and really, really good) and wines and hanging out for another 4+ hours. Spectacular afternoon.

Good wine tasting experience - The Sommier was educated about Spanish wines. We had 5 nice wines with a small cheese and meat board each. He was a caring and gifted teacher.

Those who like wine are certainly worth it. - A very detailed introduction to the Spanish wine world. The sommelier presented the evening very informative and you could learn a lot.

Tasting delicious wines in a wine bar - Tasted delicious wines and cheeses. Passionately told by Alex where the wines come from and differences in taste. Really worth your money. Also a nice location. Thank you Gastronomia Bilbao 👍😃

Inspiring wine tasting led by the inspired Ales - We did this wine tasting with our daughter of 22 years. The passionate Ales, our host, was very informative, had picked out fine wines and had beautiful inside stories. Highly recommended.

Competent knowledge of the guide - The Guide told ist a lot about the different Regions of wine cultivation - I liked the Information about Basque Wine Tradition.
